That is a typical loose connection in my view. Always use compound and torque the nut with a star washer behind it. And never use one of those nuts with the washers that swivel. Use a standard nut with a star washer. That connection got plenty hot from resistance. My money is on a loose nut!!!
I would agree totally loose connection , the thing is that is a factory connection that I never really touched , in hindsight I certainly should have ...lol
If anyone is using a 3G with the 90 degree adapter on it *PLEASE* do a periodic check on your connections . I was sitting in a parking lot last night idling with my A/C on and noticed a funny smell . I opened my hood and the plastic on the adapter was actually on fire. I put the fire out and "rednecked" the car so I was able to get home .
I have a voltmeter and the car was charging in range when this happened . I am very thankful that this happened while I was parked rather than while driving or it could have been catastrophic.
Apparently my connecter got loose or dirty...or both. I went to the JY and got a new alternator without the 90 degree thing so I shouldn't have any more problems. But I wanted to post this so no one else has any trouble .
I wonder how a scoop from an early '80'sMustang would look...one of the larger, rear facing GT scoops. Of course, turned around so it'd look "right".. :)
It would look like this :) (not intended as a hijack )
If you want to show off dyno numbers then yeah go for 2 1/4 or 2.5" exhaust.
If you want it to accelerate or run quicker at the track, then go bigger. Going from stock 2 1/4 to 3" exhaust will drop hp peak numbers on a dyno, but will run faster at the track, even faster after a tune.
God I hate posts like this ... this is not true ,, if the COMBINATION is correct it is ..but just bolting a huge exhaust on a stock motor will NOT make it perform better , either on a dyno OR the track The whole package has to work together
