Hey mate,
Welcome to fordmods. There is a sticky at the top of this forum with just about everything you need to know for modding your e-series. But for ease of reading, ill give you a few tips. 2.5" Mandrel bent catback with a set of headers/extractors should set you up nicely. Prices range, if you ebay it you could probably get sorted for around $500. Window tint (although not your power/note option) is a good one, can make a huge difference to the look and will also help with the temp inside the car over summer. Air intake upgrade, a few of the boys here could give you more info but there is big gains to be had from this area. Longer term with a little more cash, get some diff gears and suspension upgrades with a good set of rims and you'll have a nice looking e series. Post a pic up. Cheers, Dodd |

read the sticky's at the top.
A problem with gas systems is they have very restrictive intake systems. I don't think this can be helped though unless you run dual mixers or gas injection ($$$). Someone who actually runs/knows more about it can probs give you tips on using gas. As for spending money, shop around for exhaust. Headers/cat/catback shouldn't cost more than a grand, I got my pacemaker 4480's, metallic cat and 2.5in system sorted for less than $900 although fitted it myself. Any headers should do as long as they don't have press bends. After this get your diff gears changed, or a cam.

sounds good as what other people have said, 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust with highflow metal cat and Pacemaker 4480 extractors. You will gain 15-20rwkw from that exhaust system. Id go down to Ford and grab an XR6T snorkle for a bit more throttle response aswell, they are usualy $30-40
Good luck with it.

the best and most afective mod i did was the 5spd conversion it costed me about $400 dollars and went a s**t loads better noticed alot more than exhaust and extractors which costed me $780

Hey mate and welcome,
If i was you i would shop around and get extractors, hi flow cat and a 2.5" exhaust system. As said before this shouldnt cost you more then 1000, how good are you with the tools and all that, ie can u do some work yourself??? Also from memory E series cars with duel fuel cant get the Pacie 4480 extractors, you will need to get the 4499's which i have on my old ED XR6. Just as good really. From memory they are better for the auto's, susposed to give better mid range..... Then get a air intake, this shouldnt cost much, Max $150 i would say.... After that you would prob be better off saving your cash again and getting prob diff gears. Hope this helps, and post some pics
