$39.99 plus tax for the filter andfrom then on, $10 plus tax for the
cleaning/oiling kit?
Should I get one for my 2001 Cruiser or should I save my money? I was
told that if you put more air in, you gotta change computer mixture
settings and exhaust to get "more air" out.
Of course Auto Zone sez I should get 2-3 more mpg.

On this particular day of this month, in the Year Of The Golden Pig, Pete
E. Kruzer did state:

I put an offroad version (all that was available) on my 3.5l Intrepid R/T,
and changed nothing at all computer-wise; it is, however, mated with a
straightened-out exhaust system and a MagnaFlow, which is a
straight-through muffler that really cuts down on backpressure.

Works like a dream; metrage (mileage) went up, but moreso, a lot more
power. I mean a lot, too.

Go for it! It's dirt cheap, and it works, which these days is miraculous!

BTW, avoid the 'Tornado' thing; they break easily and get sucked into the
engine.....

Yes, there's a bitch that replies to me, kinda telling me the
problem's with the Canadian Shaw's personnel. But prescience pays off and
long as you violate the groups charter, or just Usenet's common decency,
I'll be there to report you. You being a traitor is a especial incentive.

by about 2-4 mpg. It was getting around 18-20 and now never dips
below 20 and sometimes gets as high as 24, all on regular gas. It is
the 180hp turbo model.

Just be aware that the K&N is not as good at filtering dirt out as a
quality paper filter. It's OK to use it, just be aware of the facts and
make an informed decision (know what you are giving up).

Bill,
While I have you on the email, is there anyway to retrofit a
FluidDrive transmission to a standard three speed with overdrive? I
have a 1940 Chrysler Royal with the three speed and would like to get
a FluidDrive. I am disabled now and it is very difficult to keep
pushing the clutch down all the time.

Remember, I don't want to modify the exhaust or anything else. You
did. Should I still get one??

I would; you can always easily pull it if it doesn't do what you want it
to.

As for the exhaust mods, all I really did was 'remove the curves,' and I
think that affected the HP and torque more than it did mileage.

Anyway, bonne chance! (good luck!)

And let us know what transpires!
