    My '03 Crown Vic

    Guess nows a good a time as any to start one of these. Got it with 117k miles, around 122k now. Former Mass State Police cruiser and it shows lol. Still on the search for some unmolested dash trim since they were nice enough to leave about a half dozen screw holes in it. Other than that it looks good from the outside. I've added the 08 Mustang wheels w/ pirellis, painted the calipers silver and when I got it it needed cats. Replaced the cats, new h pipe and after trying a couple set ups I took the mufflers out, and put some LTC resonators right before the end of the exhaust. Sounds a little more unique. Replaced the cracked rear finish panel this weekend, still waiting on my new taillights to replace the scratched up ones. Over the winter i'm planning on some billet rear control arms, baer brakes, 4.10s and whatever else I can afford.

    For now, this is what ive got -











    Oh, recently repainted the push bar too, and scraped off that PIAA sticker. So its not all faded anymore

      Looks good. So you've got just OEM town car resonators ahead of the tips? Got a video?

            I'm interested to hear a 4.6 with just cats as well, I ran my Town Car with just cats but no resonators and it sounded decent.

              Very nice whale. Looks great with the wheels. You need to put a spotlight back on the A-pillar. Might as well fill up that hole with something. :-D

                Haha, I've thought about it. Im not sure yet though.

                On the other hand, recently developed an exhaust leak that i tracked down to a broken stud (manifold to head). Just great. Mixed feelings i guess, going to order a set of SW longtube headers alot sooner than I wanted to, but thats ok. As long as the leak doesnt develop into being extremely bad, hopefully I can take my time doing that over the winter.

                    Picking up a 1 yr old set of Stainless Works longtubes next saturday and some cat-less lead pipes to go with em Will post pics as soon as they're in my driveway. Gotta make up my mind on whether to make my own 2.5" Dual exhaust from there to the tails or just get a premade kit.
