    NooB...Just bought an 85 Crown Vic

    Hello.

    I just picked up an 85 Crown Vic from my grandpa. It has 49K miles, very well maintained. I'll be using it as my DD while I go through school. I'll be looking for advice on mild mods, mainly exhaust and wheels.

    I want to open up the exhaust and let it breathe. Of course, I want that V8 to come alive a little and give me a nice mellow rumble.

    I'll post more pics later, but I've attached a quickie.

    Thanks for having me.

    -Danny

                    Welcome. Get rid of that CFI and then the V8 will come alive
