Congrats on your new baby boy, what a cutie. Man before you know it he's going to be driving it, hah.

That LS is just bad ***. That how they should have come from the factory. It looks awesome, they did a great job. Must be a blast to drive.
What motor/tranny did they come with? 4.6/4r70w?

Pulling car into Muffler shop for True-Duals. This is running out of the BBK Shorty Headers only, lol. Sorry for the sideways video!

Thanks for all the compliments!

Default True Dual 2.5" Exhaust is complete

Just drove her home from the Exhaust Shop. Wasn't cheap but very high quality work by Boggs in Waynesville, Missouri

They fabricated collector's to my Fbody BBK headers, bent 2.5" back into my 2 Magnaflow Hi-Flow Cats, then X-piped into two I pipes with 2 20" Resonators that I can swap out for strait 20" pipes for more noise before exiting thru 2 14" magnaflow Bullets dumped at the bumper.

Much more quiet to pass German DB level inspection and give it a sleeper sound. Almost too quiet for my tastes but the wife loves it The valvetrain and tranny rattle is evident now! I never used to hear it! With the sound deadening matting under the carpet the car is super quiet for a TD set up inside which is perfect for wife and baby.

Here is shot from Front to Rear


Passenger Hi-Flow Cat


20" Resonators, completely killed rasp and DB levels. Interchangeable with strait pipes.


Video. My Wife didn't want to be seen! lol

Funny with the wife ducking out of the camera's view - that is usually me. I found a solution, I got really good at taking pictures and shooting video so I don't have to be in them!

I like how quiet it is - for a sleeper.

My Thunderbird is still single exhaust and I will upgrade to duals once the mandrel bends I ordered get here. I still haven't figured out mufflers though.

Maybe I missed it, but is there a build thread on this car? One of my troops was just hassling me about this exact deal this past weekend.

Perhaps. The swap was done 2 years ago. The car just keeps getting better and better.

That's a pretty awesome swap. It's like a CTS-V... but a lincoln. Total sleeper. I love those wheels too. So clean.

Exactly, it turns so many heads appearance wise and then they hear the Cam and folks are like WTF? I can't go anywhere in it without thumbs up or someone coming to ask a ? about it. Gets more attention than the Z06

Its truly a good set of heads away from really running away from most cars on the road.

Yup. These cars came with a 8.8 diff like the early Cobras. In fact, they are interchangable. They use 28 spline inner stub axles instead of the 31 spline 03-04 Cobra. The stock 28 spline axles should be fine for a cruiser.

That car is awesome. Looks and sounds amazing.

Congrats on the baby boy as well! That picture brings back memories of when my son was born. Feels just like yesterday and he is already 18 months old. Enjoy man!

Man what an awesome setup. I had an LS back in the day, and sold it because the V8 was underpowered and it was an auto. Why Ford only sold a manual version of the LS only with the V6 engine is beyond me. Awesome ride man, LOVE it! Congrats on the new baby!
