[hammer down bronco]

i have a 94 bronco with a 5.8 i am wondering if i can slap on one of the k&n filters like this http://www.autozone.com/autozone/catalog/parts/partsProduct.jsp?displayName=Air+Filter+-+Performance&itemId=1567-0&navValue=16801567&parentId=68-0&productId=93367&fromString=&itemIdentifier=93367_165757_0_&filterByKeyWord=&categoryNValue=&isSearchByPartNumber=&categoryDisplayName=Performance&store=5295&skuDescription=K&fromWhere=&searchText=&_requestid=790534 to my existing intake tubes? another question is what is the diameter of pipe comming out of the catalitic converters and into the muffler? and my last question is do i need the spindle nut conversion kit if i want to switch from auto locking hubs to warn or super winch manual locking hubs? thanks in advance if you can answer my questions

on my truck, it was 2.25 for the exhaust tubes.

I have flowmaster 40 series and love it.

I have warn hubs, they are so much better than the autos!

==============

The K&N does away w/the "cold" air intake tubing that runs from da Filter Box to top of radiator... not so "hot" an idea..

I like this better, using Ford Motorcraft Air Filter and changing it yearly or when after running thru the dust bowl/getting it soaked in floods..etc.;

Air Tube & Box Insulation pics in a 94 5.0; Ken used Reflectix Insulation, avail @ Lowes. etc. ST16025 - 16" x 25 feet. miesk5 Note; Ken installed the K&N® & removed da cold air intake tube that runs to the top of the radiator; but he could have installed the intake tube section later.

You'll need the Conversion Kit ONLY if you have the 3 ***** Cover on the auto hubs.

see my site for installation Links http://www.broncolinks.com/index.php?index=107

especially, 5 ***** to Warn® & Bearing Replacement w/ Bearing Locknut Torque Settings in a 90;

Look at the diagrams, intall & operating info by Warn®

and,after you get the manual Hubs of any Brand and ready to Torque....

Wheel Bearing Locknut Torque Settings for 80-96 MANUAL HUBS, NOT Factory Auto Hubs; Ford Pickups and Bronco; "...Using a lockout spanner (ford # T59T-1197-B or equivalent get or borrow at a parts store) and a torque wrench, tighten the inner bearing adjusting nut to 50 foot pounds while rotating the wheel back and forth and seating the bearing. Back off the adjusting nut approximately 45 degrees. Assemble the lock washer by turning the inner lockout to align the pin with the nearest hole in the lock washer. To lock it, install the outer lock nut and tighten it to 150 foot pounds. Grab the top of the tire with one hand and the bottom of the tire with the other. Move the tire in and out on the spindle. End play should be less than .006 – inch.).." Thanks to 90beater (Topher, Chris)!!!!

so when i order my muffler i should get a 2.25 inlet? cause i want to be able to blolt it right on

yo, RIGHT! DON'T need that conv kit for 5 allen ***** cover ...so you save $$$~~~ yeah!

The OD of the muffler inlet (from Cat Converter) is 2.50"

I had to replace the muffler clamp about a month ago because the rust on it loosened it up.. on catalyic converter side of da muffler; I got a 3A Racing Stainless Steel 2.5" clamp from Advance Auto - so in about 14 years from now I can get it off easily; but since it's made in China, the thAng will prob rust out in 3 weeks..lol

When yo do put the new clamp on, and if the Muffler Hanger is still good ; make sure someone is with you to watch da angle of the tailpipe so it does stay in a slightly downward slope - so moisture can dripout instead of pooling up. If you need the muffler clamp, Adv Auto carries it along w/ the grommets; all made by Walker.

Yeah cats are still there. The exhaust guy offerd to hollow em out, but I said no as I still have emmisions tests. And with 317k miles on my motor.. it did well stock for 20yrs..don't want to alter fords setup and maybe reduce my motors life..

You could cut the back cat off and attach a 3" pipe to Flowmaster and 3" tailpipe.
