new exhaust
I had my new magnaflow cat and muffler installed Friday and what a difference, I guess I was not expecting such a performance boost. Stock Y pipe is pre restricted but I would like to know if anyone has changed to the SPD y pipe from a non restricted factory y and found any performance change?

Looking for someone who changed the y pipe that had the pre 2001 non restricted factory y pipe. My factory y does not neck down to 1.5" and am not sure it's worth tossing money to a new y

I'm also curious about the SPD, as mine is a 1999 V-10 and I don't think its necked down either.
14 years later and no rust on the exhaust system besides the headers. I'd think it'd be an easy swap.

I found some really good promotion deals on Amazon so I spent 240 on the cat and 85 on the muffler. Not really loud but has a nice tone good seat of the pants jump, I am running my first tank of gas to see if I get any improvement but I doubt I will on this one as I am sticking my foot into it for the fun. Let me know if your interested in the specifics on the components I will post the part #'s. Are you still hunting the tick

Had the stomach flu recently, so mainly thinking about it. Plus been working on the Door Lock Actuators.. As all 4 are bad, front doors are intermittent.
I was wondering if the tick could be a coil or something. idk..
One question for ya, my V10 really never wants to go above 4K RPM. I don't know if this is a V10 thing cause my dads 5.0 Coyote will rap out all 7K if it wants.
Your V10 has more miles than mine by 30K so I thought I'd ask.
Thanks,
Cole

If you're still looking for the ticking noise, better check your plugs. Mine had what I thought was an exhaust leak kinda tick and I couldn't find it. Turned out to be a loose plug, which popped out after about 6 months of listening to it.

I've checked 9 of 10 plugs, all good. On 2-3 coils. The boots were stuck to the plug. Even though gobs of dielectric grease was used.
I need to pull the #5 plug, but its a pain in the A$5 because of the A/C unit. I've had a plug blow on this engine before, no damage to the threads! Just screwed it back in.
