Man, how could I forget the whistle tips!?!? It takes the car to a whole new level.

 

And you thought automotive innovation only came from Detroit.

 

Steve I ran the S types on my Boss with the Magnaflow o/r X pipe and it WAS AMAAAZING sounding!! But now I need something a little more toned down with the blower...SWAP time!! Pm'd you again today

 

Well, if you aren't using your H-pipe setup, I'm definitely interested! Let me know what you think.

 

Steve I am keeping the stock H pipe as it going to worth $$$ down the road as guy replace/ sell them. I want to keep it to sell with the car...Thanks though!

 

WOOHOOO! 500 Posts!!! LOL

 

Bah! I thought I had a lead on one.

 

FWIW, a buddy of mine is the R&D mgr of a major exhaust manufacturer. I'm gonna be taking my car(Boss) into them within the next couple weeks for them to play with it and see if they can come up with something better and cost effective. After having to hold up the snorkels while I pulled out the disks, I can already tell there's major room for improvement as far as weight. Those things are freaking boat anchors. If they can make a better/lighter side-exit, and find there a market for it, they'll put it into production.

These ^^ guys have the Boss H-Pipe for $216.89+shipping

Part # comes up as CR3Z*5246*A when I look up the H-pipe / 5246-base part # on a Boss VIN in HVBOM

 

You need a few more things besides that part number to find it. I know most of the parts are CR3Z-####, but I don't know the full part number for many of them.

Some of the part numbers I pulled from Ford are:
-CR3Z5246A [H-pipe]
-5220 [side pipes](left and right)
-CR3Z5H294A [spacer]
-5B226B [gasket]
-CR3Z5C226A [gasket]
-17C438 [grommet]

There are also a few that are probably not necessary, such as nuts, bolts, and restrictor plates. I left those off. If someone can help me piece together the full part numbers for the remaining pieces, I'd appreciate it.

 

What is the part number for the whistle tip kit?

 

Using the link provided earlier in the thread for the exploded view, when I look up the same Boss VIN I looked up earlier, I get:

 

1AWYEEEEGANGSTAZWOOWOO

 

The "17C431" grommet full part # comes up as 5C3Z-17C431-AA

5H294 Spacer: CR3Z-5H294-A

 

Gabe, thanks for the info! Much appreciated.

 

WHERE DOES ***** MAGNET GO???

 

You're welcome dude ... glad I could help.

(kinda hoping this thread could get cleaned up of all the nonsense posts )

 

After the info Gabe provided, I was able to put together a parts list, and the total cost is around $720 without the nuts and bolts. If you take the restrictors out, it's about $20 less.

 

that's not...terrible in price.

 

It's a lot when you consider what it is. It boils down to Ford service parts cost a small fortune for absolutely no reason.
