  1. I have a set of husky liner in beige for any Edge 2007 to 2009, maybe 2010, i ma not sure. i do not think anything has changed for the 2010. this sale includes, 2 front mats, 1 rearseat mat and the liner for the cargo area. they are in excellent shape. they have been in the garage for over 6 months and it is time to move them. these will hold up to a gallon of fluid without speeling over. read the reviews.

     

    i do not want to ship, so, local sale is preferred. i am in the 91006 area code. Arcadia/pasadena/San Gabrile valley, california.

    if you want them shipped, you are to pick up those charges.

     

    they retail for over $180. , i am letting them go for $85.00

  2. That is low - how are you measuring it?

    I am re-setting the on dash computer everytime i fill up. i also look at the miles i drive and the gallons i put in. there is some differences between the manual method and the computer numbers , but, the numbers are very low. i am going to check my tire pressure also to see if that is the cause.

  3. Typically you do have to remove the intake manifold and sometimes other parts to get at the rear plugs. But you just said in another thread that you only have 20,000 miles - why do you want to replace the spark plugs?

    I am looking for the reasons why my MPG is so low. i am getting 15.5 to 16 at best. i just went up to mammoth (700 miles round trip) and my driving was 95% freeway at 65 mph and all i got was 16.3 mpg. this is low in my mind. i have changed air filter, fuel filter and oil with no improvement on MPG. i am assuming that the spark plugs are the next thing to check out.

     

    My lightning gets over 18 mpg on the freeway. granted i only get 14 mpg on the street, but, this is a big heavy truck with a 5.4 supercharged in it.

     

    regards,

  4. Your ignorance is clearly outweighed by your stupidity. Sirius is light years better than XM. You are obviously too biased to understand why, so I won't go into details at this point. Why do you think Sirius is buying XM??? Why has Sirius gone from 300,000 subscribers 2 years ago to over 8,000,000 subscribers today??

     

    So, if i go with Sirius it is just plug and play. no external display. it will all be through the OEM unit, correct?

     

    which Sirius receiver should i install?

     

    BTW, i have never had either, XM or Sirius. if the merger ever takes place, which i really doubt, i will be happy with any thing better than the obsolete, boring low quality regular radio. regular radio is just aweful.

  5. Last time I checked a loss of backpreasuer would be a good thing, but I've never tweaked a normally aspriated vehicle. AFAIK an engine is an air pump and you want to pump as much air as you can. Back pressure, IMHO, not good.

    there is a delicate balance that must be kept between back pressure and performance. if you have too muck flow (lack of back pressure) you will lose torque and performance in a hurry. if you do not have enough back pressure, then, you choke the air folw and the performance of the vehicle.

     

    i have done many things to my Roush II and Lightning and i have learned that back pressure is one of the many importamt key whenever trying to gain HP.

     

    i am assuming the Gibson and Magnaflow did their homework, but, i assumed that on a catback i installed on my mustang and regreated it. i was able to get the manufacturer to admit that the piping for that application was too big and the exchanged it.

     

    this is why i would like to hear first hand experiences on any of the catback available. i doubt that i or any one will see more than 10 hp gains. but the sound is worth the install if and only if, there is no loss of backpressure.
