[GM572]

Now your grandpa can crash into a convenience store in style.

[scottericlee]

Rollin' a 92 Marq with OEM duals, looking to run up on some turn down Cherry Bombs or Purple Hornies. Piss off the 03 Mustang GT ragtop owner across the street. He's got him a set of Flowmasters on his.

Good news for me? Pre-cat O2 sensors ONLY. Bad news for me? I don't think there's anywhere to hang the pipes ... Anyone ever try it?

[TheSleepermgm]

@scottericlee you have to hang it on the old oem hangers or get new ones in the same spot,,,,check mine out ??

[Leafsrule016]

@scottericlee Just cut off your back cats, your reasonators and your front ones if you can get a piece welded up in there, its going to have to be a bent piece of pipe then re-wire your o2 sensors or get a sensor delete and run some sort of glasspack or even a magnaflow muffler

[scottericlee]

@Leafsrule016 Resonators are long, long, long, LONG gone. I could bung in a set of O2s in a custom downpipe from the back of the exhaust manifolds and end in a header flange ... what I'm really trying to find is a place between the bell housing and the back seats to hang some shorty glasspaks. The Merc is now sitting idle because of valve problems, so I'm stuck with a 2.4L I-4 '97 Plymouth Voyager as my main ride. Just frickin' kill me now, please!

[Leafsrule016]

@scottericlee I wish i had have went headers. I regret that everyday, my merc is long gone.

[crim4527]

sound like glass packs. flow masters sound hollow

[TheSleepermgm]

nice car man check out mine ??

[SilveradoNation01]

Do you consider this to be a floater?! what about the Clown Victoria?! just i haven't ridden in one for at least 2-3 years!!

[jbrian80]

I know someone raced with his 97 grand marquis and beats a younger fella in a 07 Nissan 350Z. His secret?, he took the catalytic converter off.

[lakesuperiorfish]

original pipes were stainless!! wtf?? kept mine and still quiet after 13 years..and going strong.

[Gordonfan24]

tthe only body kit i know of is the one from the movie taxi and it looks pretty bad. a new edge mach one mustang chin spoiler should fit fine and looks nice.

[Crownvictoriav8]

@Gordonfan24 that body kit on the taxi is sick!!!

[somecooldude777]

Why would you put a body kit on a grand marquis? Its not a ricer. Thats like throwing a body kit on a packard... It just doesnt feel right

[damonmk13]

i definetly like this. i own a 98 grand marquis. i love the car. way better then my 97 cavalier that i had. i believe it has a alot of potential to be built. mine is bone stock atm. im going to get a sound system for it and then work on the looks by gettin rims and a body kit IF i can find one that will fit, then a paint job and then start doing engine work. flowmasters look like the way to go for sure

[BIGGMoneyBJ]

what type of flowmasters you have because i have a 94 grand marquise and i wanna run duals on it

[Gordonfan24]

@BIGGMoneyBJ These are Flowmaster 40 series.

[BIGGMoneyBJ]

@Gordonfan24 is it loud because i dont want loud pipes and a loud sound system

[Juan2low]

do you have two mufflers or one i have 1979 grand marquis 2 door coupe that im workin on 

[Gordonfan24]

@Juan2low I have two mufflers. And nice! That sounds like a somewhat rare car.

[561sage]

i want to get sum flows for my car i got a 95 merc.. do you have it ran from the headers or are they jus tips.. cuz i want mine ran from the headers

[Gordonfan24]

@561sage They are from the catalytic converters back. NJ law says I need cats, so I couldn't go from the headers. Good luck with your car!

[561sage]

@Gordonfan24 thanks.. how much was it.. and how long does it take to put on.. also does it increase performance or does it jus make the car sound badass

[Gordonfan24]

@561sage It was about $600 at Meineke. I don't know how long it "should" take, but it took the guy that did it literally all day because they were very busy. I would guess a couple hours. The performance gain is minimal, if anything, on a stock car, so it's mostly for the sound.

[561sage]

@Gordonfan24 nice.. thanks.. cuz i want my car to sound like i got a monster in it..

[leafsrule16]

$600 isnt terrible if they did a good job i guess.. i got mine done for 2 with mufflers and tips but i had a factory h-pipe already so

[chrisiscool7]

how much did this cost u i am thinking about getting the same thing done to my 2001 Grand Marquis same color. great car btw

[Gordonfan24]

@chrisiscool7 Nice. I love the Toreador Red on these cars. As I've said in some earlier comments, the whole system ran me about $600 at Meineke. You can probably get it cheaper somewhere else, especially if you supply the mufflers, but that's a ballpark you can keep in mind.

[Jesus1alfonso]

Dont u hate the annoying noise when opening the door???

I do!

Nice exhaust!

[chevyblows2001]

how much did you spend on that total??

[fordguy718]

hey, im looking for an exhaust for a mercury grandmarquis 2000 n i cant find one, were did you get yours?

[Gordonfan24]

Meineke. Any exhaust shop will bend some pipes and install mufflers for you, though. I recommend looking around before buying anything, because I got overcharged.

[fordguy718]

@Gordonfan24 o ok man thanx so much cause i was lookin on summit n stuff n thr was nutin for it thank you

[cdevin1987]

it sound ok, but i think u paid too much. imma put mines on you tube. I got a 94 grand marquis with cat back duals with 2 flow masters and i paid 469 parts and labor and a 4year warranty

[connected901]

shid u kinda paid to much too, i paid 300, for all that. it all depends on were u go to get it done tho.

[DUPONT24JJ48]

My brother just wrecked our Mother's '95 White Grand Marquis. We think they may "total" it. Would you be interested in selling & if so what does the inside look like & what options are on it?

"Big Time Gordon Fan" !!!

[Gordonfan24]

I am interested in selling it. Probably this summer. It needs a new front bumper cover, new driver's interior door panel, and new headliner. I have new O2 sensors to go in as well. It needs some help, but it's still a hard working car that has gotten me from NJ-to-NC a dozen times and NJ to WV a few times, as well as two awards at a car show a while back. Interior is decent. There's something wrong with the floor. Hard to explain... If you're really interested, message me.

[nikki200789]

how much would u sell the hole car for

[Gordonfan24]

I'd sell it for $2500, but not until I fix my Mustang.

[leafsrule16]

thats some decent looking car for 2500, sounds great too

[nikki200789]

it sound good how much did tha cost

[Gordonfan24]

$600 in parts and labor, not including the mufflers.

[03SilverMustangGT]

Is a cat-back system? Or from the manifolds back?

[Gordonfan24]

Cat back.

[kikukan1983]

nice sound!!

[Slideways81chevy]

for 600 bucks i would have gotten some less ugly tips

[Gordonfan24]

They looked smaller/more subtle in the office.

[blaboy2012]

i have a 95 marquis can i just go to a shop and ask them how much money it would cost to get this done? cuz i want the 40 series 2 chamber dual exhaust

[Gordonfan24]

Yep. Any Meineke shop will give you a quote for new exhaust.

[ShoobieStomper]

I actually think your car is pretty much the same as mine... same color, same wheels!

[Gordonfan24]

Nice. And nope, no stereo system.

[ShoobieStomper]

Hey man, I have a '96 Marquis and I want to put some on mine... so I have a question! About how much did it cost you to get this done? Do you have a stereo system in yours?

[Gordonfan24]

Letting Meineke do all the work (and including the labor), it ran me $600 or so without tax. The mufflers, you can buy separately to save a few bucks. With the mufflers, closer to $800.

[KymbalKid]

just cut the exhaust system off and straight pipe completely sounds way better

[Grincuzyagotta]

I got a 98 Grand marquis and I know i want some flowmasters 4 my shit. I just dont know whether to get low, mid, or high level. Which ones are these?

[Gordonfan24]

Not quite sure, to tell ya the truth. All I know is that they're Flowmaster 40 series.

[xXKevinEdgarXx]

delta 40s right?

[Gordonfan24]

That's what I was told, but I looked into the 40 series line and they're "40 Series Original", as Flowmaster calls them. So they aren't Supers or Deltas.

[xXKevinEdgarXx]

Oh ok, I plan on getting Flowmasters on my 96 LS so I am just researching.

Thanks! (great sound btw!)

[ds2500s]

can you make it louder then this ?

[Gordonfan24]

Yea, if you remove the cats, it'll be a little louder. And if you shorten the exhaust piping so that it exits somewhere under the car, it'll also be louder since the sound waves bounce off the car and the road. Neither of these should be done before checking your local laws, though, as you might get some attention from cops for illegal exhaust exit location or failed inspection for no catalytic converters.

[patriotsmo]

AWESOME Sleeper !!!!

[militiacuz]

i've been thinking about gettin some on my 97 grand marquis as well. and after seeing this, my decision is hell yeah

[159002]

What's The Size & Length Of The Tips?? I Like Those, Sounds Good Too!

[Gordonfan24]

I think they are 3.5-4" and about 16-18" long. Not sure on the exact numbers, though.

[Domman56]

That looks awesome on that "luxury car"

[bamsunnimdrunk]

An exhaust job done the right way. Nice sounding car man. But you're right. The 40's are great for sound, and sound alone. I'm looking into new mufflers now.

[N3cr0n0mIV]

is this the 4.6L? my buddy just picked up a '95 and is thinking about flowmaster american thunder exhaust

[Gordonfan24]

Yep. The only motor they came with was the 4.6L. If your friend is just going for sound, the Flowmasters are great, but as far as performance, they're pretty bad. They don't flow very well.

[candiFLA]

awesome sound. love the red mgm, just like mine.

[liv2xl]

do you have your cadiliac converters taken out?

[Gordonfan24]

Nope. The catylitic converters are stock and are still in there. Eventually I will be getting Magnaflow high-flow cats.

[Gordonfan24]

40 Series.

[159002]

I Got Me A 97 Grand Marquis. I Wanted To Take My Catalytic Converters Out, & Put In Str8 Pipes And Do A Custom Mandrel Bent 2 1/2 Inch Piping With A Flowmaster Super 44 Series Muffler: (Single Inlet / Dual Outlet). How Do You Think Mines 'll Sound?? Also I Was Gonna Do A K&N Cold Air Intake Made For A Mercury Maruader...

[X2GT2]

Sounds Sweet.

[tahoetragedy]

this is so cool

i have a 94 and have been wanting to do this for a long time

[cmic18]

man i got the 99 model year and the flow master exhuast for my car will cost 250 with a 2yr warranty but my exhaust will look like my regular tail pipes.

[ccplaya62]

how much was all of that

[Damuluv]

i have the exact same car 1997 same color

good choice

Mercury drivers UNITE!

[ncole90]

Word!

[chapjr22]

@Damuluv I GOT ONE TOO!

[justtony21]

my g/f just got an 08 marquis and it shouldn't be that hard to find exhaust systems for these cars. there are some assholes where i live at who won't help you locate any but if they can make a kit for a clown vic then they can make one for a marquis. they have the same chassis and frame so finding one shouldn't be difficult. the problem is finding other aftermarket parts like intake, headers, and and cams. those are mainly for stangs and trucks. but good luck in whatever you put on it.

[bamsunnimdrunk]

how much did the exhaust job cost?

[Gordonfan24]

Sorry. Just saw this. Cost me $550 plus tax for the pipes and work. And they charged me $140 each for the mufflers - rip off... If you buy the mufflers separately, it won't be as much.

[sombrerudo22]

how big are the muffler tips? about 3 inches?

[Gordonfan24]

Yeah. I haven't measured them, but either 3" or 3.5".

[sombrerudo22]

cool thnx, ive been wanting to buy some flowmasters and exhaust tips for my 04 marquis. i want it to sound like yours lol

[cody7619]

I have a 98 grand marquis and i hope to get a flowmaster put on it is this setup custom built or is it a kit from flowmaster?

[Gordonfan24]

Custom. No one makes a kit for these cars (and probably never will). If you're going to upgrade to larger diameter pipes, it will have to be custom bent.

Good luck with your car!

[jcoyne01307]

i have a 98 grand marquis, how much did your flowmasters cost for this cause i was looking to put some on mine too lol that sounds really good they're 40's right?

[tainted111]

you know much about this car? i just bought a 1993, and i have tons of questions.

[DJByronDThaYoungDJ]

which flowmaster kit is that you got on here.cuz i got a 97 Mercury Grand Marquis to and i want it to sound like this?

[Gordonfan24]

Just Flowmaster 40 Series. Not the best flowing mufflers, but I like the sound for now. :)

[DJByronDThaYoungDJ]

oh ok

[DJByronDThaYoungDJ]

oh ok

[towncar16]

thats what i wanna do to my 97 towncar put a flowmaster kit on it lol

[Gordonfan24]

Go for it, man. You won't be disappointed! :)

[towncar16]

i know i wont to i think im getting them this summer or in janaury idk but i want them so bad lol

[FordFanatic59]

sounds amazing...too bad it looks like a granny car! haha jk

[MP81Kyle]

Sounds excellent for that 4.6L

[thingk89]

thats what mine sounded like to until driving it hard for a while now it crackles a lot more

[edwardcanfly]

dude, that sounds sweet
