Thanks Spiro, I think were gone to give the MagnaFlow a try.

 

No problem Lisa.
I didnt see it listed on their website. But as you know their saying. " If we dont list it, we probably sell it" or something like that

 

Yoda...have you or anyone else checked to see if the pipe diameters are the same for the H/D tips and the factory L's?

 

Magnaflow I assume sounds good but did anyone notice a performance difference?And can anyone tell me if i hollow my cats
is it worth it or a waste of time?I say hollow them instead of removing them for warranty reasons. By the way thanks for all the info.One morething(I know im the worst)if i do hollow the cats will my check engine come on?

 

Does anyone know the part numbers of the HD tips.

Also will the Magnaflow part numbers listed earlier in this thread fit a 2001.

Thanks for the info

Do you have the part numbers of the Flows you used?

 

If I remeber correctly, I think they were part# FLO-42543. These offer 2.5 offset in/out. I had a local Mineke shop retain the stock tips when I had them installed.

 

These guys have good prices on the Magnaflows:

If you don't see the part numbers call them anyway as they carry more than they list. The part numbers listed earlier (12468,14468) fit all 2nd gen Lightnings as their exhausts are all the same.

 

Try this looks good and is resonably priced. I have been thinking about ordering these.

THESE HAVE 3" TIPS

 

Are the HD tips any larger than our stock setup, or is the only difference the polished/chrome finish? I'd like to get larger diameter (and length) tips, but shiny isn't my style.

Has anybody got a pic of the HD tips they can post ?

FRITZ , Stock Silver 2001 "L"

 

The tips are 3.5" wide and 10"long.KarKraft sells them for $130.00.The P/N is YL3Z-5255-AA.Here's a pic:http://www.karkraft.com/har_dav_exhtip.jpg

 

much appreciated Chim Chim.

I sent an email to fordpartsonline requesting pricing and whether they are sold in pairs or individually.

will post reply.

I checked Ford back in May for the HD tips and with a discount the price was still over $200. However, this included the tailpipes from the back of the muffler up to and including the tips as one assembly. Looks like KarKraft is the best bet, but they're WAY over-priced. Check the prices on the '01L headlights, markers, etc from KarKraft . Good Luck!

 

I'd suggest the magnaflow also, sounds good and not pricey. So far I haven't been to impressed with all the other mufflers I've heard so far.
