Latest Ford Crown Victoria Frequently Asked Questions:
I have a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria with the P71 police interceptor package and want a little bit louder exhaust. I don't want obnoxiously loud or headache inducing. I just want something with a little more rumble than the current exhaust. I was thinking mercury Marauder pipes but haven't found anything that would let me know if they would work and what year models would even work. Any help would be nice.
Answer:I don't know if anyone makes headers for your Crown Vic.Google headers for your car and see.You can go to a true dual exhaust system.Cut the pipe @ the Y.Run two seperate pipes into an X pipe,from the X run the pipes into two mufflers,then run the pipes over the axle all the way out the back into a set of very tasteful polished or stainless tips.You can get an X pipe on e-bay for about $75.00. The mufflers are a personal choice.Flowmaster,Magnaflow,SLP all make excellent mufflers for your ride,you can get them on e-bay also.The true dual exhaust will free up hp and the X and mufflers will give your ride a nice deep throaty tone.When buying a muffler the shorter the muffler the louder,the longer the muffler the quieter.Hope this helped.
Ford Crown Victoria specs: 2005 V8 4.6 litter (body and frame completely trashed but engine works great) Ford Contour specs: 2000 Has transmission in it still but engine is gone. Could I use the transmission already in there with the Crown Victoria engine? (body in near perfect shape) and I'd assume the Contour will really fly because its so light with a such powerful engine if swap is possible?
Answer:not really, you would have to build a full frame under it and convert it to rear wheel drive..
I tried a regular 2003 Ford Crown Victoria (non-police interceptor) CD/Cassette player and it would not fit the wire harness plug.
Answer:The police models did not come with CD players as optional equipment. One will have to go aftermarket.
I was just wondering why Ford Crown Victoria have terrible traction and grips on the rain. Is it because the car is RWD and tires and the weight of the car cause the skid? I drove this car couple times and I felt this car is unstable to drive in the rain.
Answer:It's a heavy car with skinny tires. And mine had no ABS, so if I hit the brakes in the rain, it was almost guaranteed to slide. Newton's laws come in to play here. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force (like a brick wall or another car) is applied to it. Ford Crown Victorias are the poster cars for this law. The fact that they are as heavy as they are only aggravates this. In order for a Crown Victoria to handle better, it needs, among other things, much wider tires and much stiffer suspension.
