Body/Appearance/Interior / 87-88 Ground Effects ! ! !
Tuff position your in. I feel for ya. Body kits can really be cool and the chance to do a custom one would be neat. My car is an 88 xr7 that my friend and I redid 6 years ago. It would be neat to see what the person can make for our cars. I don't have the extra cash right now. PLEASE don't give up. I wish you good luck.

Engine Tech / Help with lers for stock 88 cougar xr7?
Quote from: mjbtbrd;280295
You may want to consider ditching the stock manifolds and Y pipe in favor of some stock stang headers and an H pipe in addition to the lers.


A few years ago my friend gave me a set of stock mustang headers. Originally we were going to do the exhaust using the mustang headers and he was going to help me with the rest of the exhaust. He has performed all kinds of cool mods to his cars (tbirds and mustangs). We had also talked about doing the HO upgrade as well. A few years ago he moved away. I would love to do several things to my cougar. My son will be turning 3 years old next month and he is the most important person in my life. Its awesome that everyone has been posting info to help me out. For now I'm going to try to keep things simple since I have to pay a garage to do the work. Maybe when my son gets older I'll be able to try putting the mustang headers and doing a complete exhaust. 
THANKS FOR ALL THE ADVICE

Engine Tech / Help with lers for stock 88 cougar xr7?
After owning my 88 cougar xr7 since 89 I would like to change my lers. The exhaust system is all stock. I would like to use lers that will give it a little sound without being crazy (to loud). My son is 3 and likes to ride along. I have to get them installed at a local garage since I can't do it myself. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Can anyone recommend lers for my car? Thanks

Past Cat Jam Threads / Matt's 88 cougar xr7 that had a bad fuel pump
My fuel pump went bad going home Saturday night. I was 7 miles into PA on RT 80. My cougar is the 88 red xr7. A state trooper gave my friend and his wife and I a ride to a diner. A towing company towed my car to their yard which was a few miles from the place it broke down. I plan to go out one day this week with my f-150 to tow it home. It was rough thing to have happen since I live 250 miles from the spot it broke down. Cat Jam was a great time even though my car broke down. Someone in one of the previous posts asked which car was mine. I tried to post a url but recieved the following message.

User Rides / The 'new' Cat, now with real pics
I have a red 88 xr7 and have always loved the white ones. I don't  see many white ones anymore. It seems red and black 88's are more common in my area. Your car is awesome
