    sports exhaust system ?

    I got a janspeed cat back stainless system. Brought it mainly because it will last forever. Not too loud but does sound good in my opinion.

    4.6 With Top Hat Liners?

    Well thanks all for the advice. Will put a post up with what I find. The car itself is really good condition so if the block is cracked I will have the Hugh enjoyment of building up a new engine. Never pulled such a big engine from a car before. What's the best way to tell if the block is cracked?
