Engine Tech / Electric Fan Questions
i bought a basically new 16 inch electric fan with all the wires and toggle off one off my buddys for my truck but have been debating on putting it on or not

the way i plan on hooking it up is direct wiring from it to battery to toggle or i may hook up an inline fuse havent decided everyone i kno havent used inline fuses and theyve been running them for 5 or 6 yrs

is this 16 inch fan enough for my 5.8 efi?
will it make any hp, acc. or torque differences?
is it worth putting on, a friend said hed do it for free
thanks in advance

Engine Tech / Exhaust Question
im usually a true dual man
but i just bought this truck and dont feel like changing the exhaust right now

its a 1992 ford f150 4x4
5.8 with a single in dual out flowmaster
i love the tone of itbut i want it to be abit louder

it still has the cats on it and we have no emissions testing where i live would it be louder if i had the cats taken off and a pipe put in its place?
