K, looks like I'm going to check it out tomorrow with John. Hope it's a match!

One thing to consider. If he hasn't done the smog for the car, you're going to have to and it won't pass with that offroad x-pipe. You'd have to get a stock exhaust (should be cheap) or have the smog done...

Yeah, could not having a cat be a problem even if he "knows a guy" and we get it to pass?

If it were me, I'd try to find a stock mid-pipe and put it on the car. I'm sure you can pick one up relatively cheap and then you're smog legal again (in theory).

Here is another car in your price range.

I found lots of potential exhaust parts for you, and also some cars for sale too ;)

Ron,

It has a MAF conversion, but it's still a 4-lug. What do you think?

NOOOOOO sean you cant get a ford :inout:

MAF should not be a problem if you have the proper tune. My SHO has a Lincoln 80mm MAF. I have a tune so the EEC-IV understands the curve the different MAF is outputing.

Bob

you can get a ss/sc cobalt for pretty cheap nowadays a lil more than 10k but depends on what your price range is lol

No bueno on the 'stang. Too many things fishy about it. Keep the suggestions rollin'.
