In todays video my 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis gets an upgrade on its restrictive restrictive single factory exhaust. I change out my oem mercury single factory exhaust system to oem factory dual exhaust form an older mercury grand marquis (I believe an 02 or 03). I also had the shop remove or delete the 2 rear catalytic converters for better flow and sound. I Love it. the car feels like it woke up, it feels lighter on its feet, and has a nicer sound and not loud rumble to it. You can perform the same upgrade on the Ford Crown Victoria, and I'm pretty sure on the Lincoln Town Car. . You can achieve this DIY project with some simple tools and parts, I believe in you! Learn the process and save a ton of money. We tackle this with the help of my daughter. She loves to be in my videos and loves to help any time I work on the car.

Fantastic vid. I just bought a 2011 Grand Marquis with 76k miles and this definitely looks worthwhile as I want to keep mine quiet. I don't know anyone who would help me with the catalyst delete so I would need to figure something out for that route. These are fantastic cars and definite keepers.

@LoveWhatYouDrive 6 месяцев назад

Congrats on the new Merc. Mine had 77k when i got it. If I knew how to weld I would have done the work myself. But from the factory a single exhaust is 224 hp, with the factory dual exhaust option it’s 239 hp a 25 horsepower increase. So I figured $40 bucks on Facebook market place was well spent for factory upgrade. And the car delete I do t think hurt anything as more flow for a v8 is good…definitely keepers

@michaellytis4757 Год назад

I didn’t think there’d be such a big difference between stock mufflers and a rear car delete! Sounds good! If you’re thinking high flow but still quiet, Borla pro XS or the Magnaflows are theoretically the highest flowing due to being straight thru mufflers but still remain tame with the sound. I’d recommend going with the 24 inch case or the 18 inch case as the 14s are very noticeable on the outside although very little drone on the inside. Borla is generally a little quieter than Magnaflow.

@LoveWhatYouDrive Год назад

Thanks for stopping by! I also wasn’t aware that such a change can be so good and beneficial! Thanks for the advice on the muffler setup, I’ll look into it 👍🏼

@kenimel1383 Год назад

Nice video! Those tailpipes have the resonators in them, so it quiets things down a little more. Would be interesting to see what it looks like underneath. I used the Xlerator mufflers when we did the exhaust on mine, sounds almost like yours does now. I bought a set of AP chambered mufflers to change them out for little more growl. Always looking forward to your next video! Thanks

@LoveWhatYouDrive Год назад

Thanks for your time, I am planing to to get some aftermarket mufflers to add to the stock pipes. I like the quiet and low sounding exhaust but with more flow. I like how @ru-vid.com did his first setup on the grandma-rquis. We’ll see where this all goes and what will come next!

@Pantherforlife Год назад

It was best to have them do it regardless of price. They had the lift and tools, you would of bin cursing for hours doing it yourself. Like the upgrade and sound. Brand new OEM stainless steel dual exhaust ain't cheap. This was a win win for you.

@LoveWhatYouDrive Год назад

I totally agree with you, not sure why I thought I can do it but at this point of my life, I’m ready to try out anything and if it works that’s awesome and if it doesn’t then get help. But definitely better for them to do it then dragging it out to a couple of days project and asking my brother-in-law for his welding machine in and then asking him to weld it!

@al-mubdizahir8704 6 месяцев назад

gotta love the kids man. i bought a 2000 ford crown victoria police interceptor with the rear cats stolen. about 105k miles. i know it will breath better but that dam check engine light is on. i want to just replace the stock mufflers with some upgraded ones and be done with it but im not sure if it will run like it should with only two of the four cats. any advice?

@LoveWhatYouDrive 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the support. So the two rear cats don’t have O2 sensors coming up to them even if they were stolen that shouldn’t be the check engine light. The two front is where the O2 sensors run up to. I never had any issues after removing the cats, maybe you need to change your O2 sensors, anything beyond the O2 sensors and the two cats should not affect the check engine, light or the drivability of the vehicle, if anything it should just improve some of the flow and whatever you decide to do with sound, which ever muffler you want to put on, I just stuck with the OEM Because my family comes with me, my kids and my wife and I like it to be quiet. Good luck

@giomartinez420 Год назад

any chance u can make a how to vid on replaceing bumper chrome trim 😅?

@LoveWhatYouDrive Год назад

Hey thanks for stopping by! It is in my plan to do so when I fix the huge crack, hopefully in near future! But, guy told me you can get chrome trim at auto zone that’s one inch wide and it’s pretty easy to switch out! But I like the idea and maybe sooner than later I’ll do it!

@melvinharris7859 Год назад

I replaced the stuff on the bumpers of my 07 Marquis, it was pretty easy, the old stuff is held on with adhesive just pry the trim off with a trim removal tool, and the new trim sticks on. There are holes at the end of the "indentation" in the bumper where the trim goes, and the trim sorta tucks into the holes, you'll notice it if you look at the trim on the car. This is useful because it means you don't have to trim the new stuff perfectly straight or to the exact right length, close enough and you should be good.

@LoveWhatYouDrive Год назад

@@melvinharris7859 yes true, it’s pretty easy to change, I’m just waiting til I attack the whole bumper, and the big thing is to get old glue and adhesive off as much as you can so new stuff has good clean surface to stick on! Thanks for tips!

@GrandMarquisLS09 Год назад

Im curious, how much was it to get it tuned for the dual exhaust system? Did they even need to do that?

@LoveWhatYouDrive Год назад

Hey thanks for coming by, we did not get a tune after the install. I don’t think there was that much of a increase or change for a tune.

@DannyNY Год назад

Did you put resonators on? Would putting resonators on make it more quiet?

@LoveWhatYouDrive Год назад

The resonators are towards the car end of the exhaust. I didn’t remove them or put them on they came stock. But I am curious to see how much more sound they will add if I remove them and run a straight pipe out!

@DannyNY Год назад

@@LoveWhatYouDrive it would be louder without the Resonators?

Spark plugs had not been blown, I did change the plugs when I got the car. Original plugs were really gapped wrong and after getting OEM FORD plugs I gapped them the right way the car was really working well and idling smooth..made a big difference.

No worries. They are just another set os mufflers. It doesn't make it way louder. Not like putting Flowmasters or something similar. But it Def gives you a little more tone. I'm glad my 03 Police Interceptor doesn't have them. Life is funny sometimes isn't it? Lol.

@@GrandPitoVic ye it is funny how it all just works out! But I appreciate it, I like a small sound without having a crazy loud drone and flow master sound, after all it’s still my cruiser, I don’t do burnouts on it or drift it, and I don’t race it!

@GrandPitoVic Год назад

Me either, she is my baby. I always said I would own one once I saw the first interceptor in 1998 with the blacked out chrome. I bought mine from the Miami Police Auction. Feb 16' and I paid $675 with 91k miles on her. She now has 170k. I'm working on doing a engine swap to a 4.6l 3 valve. A little more power and the 2 valve computer will run the engine as long as you lock out the cam phasers. I just replaced the whole interior to black from a junkyard Vic. Someone had the seats redone and new carpet put in and I guess the tranny or engine went and the junked it. They wanted $800 to recover my front 2 seats. I got the whole interior including door panels and trim pieces all for $350. She looks new on the inside now. I really don't like mine loud either. I don't like drone from aftermarket mufflers.

@LoveWhatYouDrive Год назад

Oh man you are getting some steak deals! Where is the 4.6 3v out of? And you are doing all this work yourself? I wouldn’t mind a clean black interior on my mercury, but I kind a like the white leather. I think light colors are kind of classy. But in the future, we will see I got my mercury for free from a good friend. We all need good friends like that.

@juansabal9995 Год назад

What’s the diameter of those exhaust?

@LoveWhatYouDrive Год назад

Thanks for watching! It is 2 inch stock pipe! I kept it OEM because the steel that they use is very good and sturdy. I heard it from other guys they bought aftermarket exhaust systems through rock auto and other manufacturers and it would rust and rot really quick. Future plan is to get some high flow mufflers to get it a little bit better sounding .
