  1. bushings bushings bushings and more bushings
  2. D'OH!! I just realized that the exit was an offset but I got the center in and out model. If you want this, make sure to get the 952062 and not the 952060. Good thing I ordered off Amazon, they make returns easy. Just ordered a 952062...
  3. thanks My1 i just got the 2.00 flowmaster 60 DF and 2x 2.00 heavy duty band clamps (butt joint style) to go along
  4. just use a different vent setting
  5. yea they are slow as @!*% but do a tuneup and see if that helps
  6. 1.875"? I remember seeing the midpipe listed as 2.00" on NAPA but this was for the VG30E motor. Right now I'm trying to get a Flowmaster 60 Delta Flow muffler but not sure about the size.
  7. if you run a bypassed cooler, your transmission probably went into safe mode from uphill driving *shrug*
  8. Ok so I have the Doug Thorley short tube headers now on my 91... According to Precise1, the Y-pipe takes 2x 2.00" pipes and exits with a 2.25" outlet. However, the factory midpipe that connects to it is a 2.00"! Did Doug Thorley intend that you should upgrade the factory 2.00" setup to a 2.25" setup? Should I be fine going from 2.25" to 2.00" or will the flanges not line up and leak? I looked around on the web and could not find any 2.25" midpipes with the O2 sensor port for this truck. Maybe anyone know any other vehicles with a 2.25" midpipe and O2 port? Then what about the tailpipe? I would like to go 2.25" all the way if I could. I can try and get someone to weld but I never created a custom pipe before. I can't go to a shop right now because I'm pretty much broke until next year. lol If anyone can get me a guide on creating custom pipes that would be great. The reason I'm asking for this is I'm trying to find out if I should buy a 2.00" muffler or a 2.25" muffler and a matching 2.25" cat to go along. Any help is appreciated!
  9. make sure your A/C drain is not clogged a clogged A/C drain will turn your interior into a pool then check that your roof is not leaking
  10. if it works, who cares its just a switch to turn impact sensitivity on or off
  11. oups i missed that, alot of pathy people here drive the good old wd21 but either way he should add a transmission cooler
  12. do a 2.5 inch exhaust and you will loose whatever is left of your power 2.25 is the maximum, the best size is a 2.00 i think (someone verify this) there have been quite a few of these I HAVE NO POWER and HELP A TOYOTA YARIS BEAT ME complaints look around and you will find stuff there are 3 things i can say real quick 1. add a transmission cooler if you haven't already done so 2. when towing, turn off overdrive 3. add headers and possibly redo the rest of the exhaust
  13. looks like it i know the optional factory accessories like alarm and fog lights are very poorly ported
  14. no pre-cat here, one is enough for me
  15. or you can insert a screwdriver through the hole of the pulley to prevent it from rotating
  16. idk about you guys but i'm with greg on this one
  17. they meaning the shop that did my exhaust i have to change the seal between the y pipe flange and the midpipe flange with that permatex copper stuff (or take it back and let them put it on lol) the muffler cement that was there has broken and developed a leak for some reason muffler cement does not stick to these Doug Thorley coated pipes BTW, that clamp works great, maybe ill buy another one and mail it to Doug Thorley and damn these pipes are so tough, if you use a regular muffler clamp you will break it lol
  18. so you want more horsepower? the quickest way is to buy a faster car
  19. lol it just hit me since the clamp is good (its like 50-60 ft lbs. its tight enough i think), the flanges are tight, and the nuts at the studs are torqued i figured what the hell can it be and then i looked at the connection between the midpipe and the collectors and i guess thats the only thing thats left there they used muffler cement so its chipping D'OH EDIT: Solution in post #57
  20. explorers weren't built as off-roaders they were made to just be really comfy cruisers like the crossover suvs today
  21. surely the vg30e is a ricer motor but you are driving an SUV here and chances are you will blow something up with that stuff sell it, buy something better to add
  22. i had a problem like that installing a new brake master cylinder ($300 from dealer) fixed that
