This guy is very humble. His work looked great and I thought it was exceptionally creative and the end result of course was a beautiful exhaust sound. Great job!
Love it, just bought one of these lizards from a 94 year old lady, absolutely mint condition, 35k original miles, garaged AZ Lincoln Continental. I plan on making some power.
Very much similar to what we did on the exhaust on our 90 Eldorado, sounds like a muscle car yet drives like a dream with the 4.5 liter v8,dual exhaust, liked the Video
I have a Lincoln Town Car signature which is very similar to your vehicle and have been thinking about upgrading the exhaust system thanks for the insight. she sounds beautiful
I did the same for my 2001 Lincoln Continental and I love it Actually this video was the reason I bought the Car and flow master 40s 2yrs ago but I must say you definitely have to have some money to upkeep car I’m probably almost in total after paying for car I’ve spent about 6,000 total new engine, new front struts, control arm etc...
the engine gets to the shop tomorrow.. so soon. ya car is dope🔥 jus 2 questions.. are those 22 or 24s? and i have 40s jus didn’t put on yet. did u do muffler delete or 40s?
@@inhaleel9244 22s chrome It’s perfect fit on car just had to do a lot of front end strut work before putting them on still have to get better shocks front and back though ...flowmaster 40s with muffler delete make sure you change those idler pulleys that’s important I just changed radiator and water pump and just I added note when you put them 40s on you’ll see that you’ll have to bleed coolant a lot more so go and order bleeder screw cause once you take it off you’ll need to replace it or else you’ll just have a hole there save you time with this info
god man i remember mine so freaking fast ..lol never did anything with the exhaust but damn dude ...just like that ...wish it wasnt front wheel drive though cause of working on it. always tripped out on the upside down gauge cluster going into a mirror. lol was really cool. had to leave it in grassvalley california cause 4 plugs had water on them and 341,000 miles ...didnt think dragging it to Tennessee was smart...that and the wife . ha ha
I like it. Not too obnoxiously loud but loud enough to make it sound mean. Perfect fit for this car I think. PS: I have a 99 Conti and I surprise people all the time on the road. For it's time frame, it's got decent power, built at a time when most cars barely had over 150 hp.
I recommend removing the silencer box in the bumper to get slightly more rumble and slightly better airflow. Only downside is it can lead to more dirt in the air filter.
You were smart to go with the MagnaFlows -- better mufflers for a lot less money !! 2" x 21" MagnaFlows on The 95 MERC -- 24 HP over stock, with Walker H-Pipe and Tailpipes.
I have a 2004 town car, I did the same thing but remove the converter, I put 40's on it also. it does sound pretty good, but I think you have a bit more rumble with the cat gone.
Where can I get a rear bumper with outlets for the pipes? Mine is a duel exhaust system from factory but doesn’t have any openings for the tail pipes at all.
Just went to the muffler shop today and got a quote for 3rd cat and resonator delete. Gonna put “Super 44’s” on mine with chrome tips. Thought about str8 piping, but it sounds a little raspy to me. After the exhaust, I’m going to chip it to unlock what Lincoln did to Continental’s to restrict the car’s potential.
Lincoln under power the engine because the front wheel tranny was to weak for the engine to begin with. Doing that you will have more power but the transmission would need to be replaced or rebuilt sooner. Also the Torque converters seem to go out at higher mileage like 200,000 and higher compared to other cars so if you understand the risks than it should not be that much of a deal breaker.
Sounds...killer. A chick friend of mine recently expressed an interest in trading her 99LC for my 97 grand Cherokee. Crap..if she didn't change her mind. Ima get one a these things one day and do exactly the same thing to it.
I hate cats, too -- always meowing all over the place and chasing away our pet mice. We keep dumping them in the desert, but they always find their way back. It's f**king disgusting !! As for those catalytic converters -- they are NOT restrictive -- unless they have become clogged by stupid people doing stupid shit, thinking that they're gonna "make more power" with a "cat delete".
i decided to use glass packs, i didnt get the cat out yet but i will soon and ill probably get super 40s too bc i want it to be louder in the high rpms and the glasspacks only sound good from like 1-3500
Always change my resonators to glasspacks. If you don't wont rasp or flappy sound then and want deeper hollow sound then glasspack it. But it's a preference no wrong or right. Sounds good
I have a 02 Lincoln Continental sedan. Same color but different rims. What are we looking at as price to do the same you did with the one you did work on
Love what you did with it. Does it drone on the highway? I put the same setup on a 5.0 F150 and a 4.6 2v Town Car, it sounds amazing on the 5.0 but the 2v sounds like shit. Had glasspacks on a Marauder that sounded good and was debating which way to go. I'll be duplicating your setup 👍
I was wondering if anyone had heard that the 4.6 needs the cat to run properly, I have been told by a few people that eliminating the cats would lead to major engine failure,, due to the computer not sensing enough heat or back pressure, or something like that.. hoping someone knows if this is true or not.
Well, the engineers that designed these systems know what is correct and what gives maximum performance under all conditions -- which the BEST reason for NOT removing the cats at all. Besides, not all of the cats are of the same design. Early General Motors and Toyota vehicles used the "pan-type" cats, which were inferior to the hi-flow cats on FOMOCO vehicles since the early '70s. Spoiled babies make a lot of noise in order to get attention -- they grow up to become fools that break Federal Laws in order to make more noise and break local anti-noise ordinances, too.
this is not true, 4 stroke engines dont need back pressure to run. the whole idea of the exhaust system is to get exhaust gasses out of the engine as fast and efficiently as possible, back pressure will create resistance and thus is a bad thing. i dont see why the heat of the exhaust system will make the engine run differently and the o2 sensors dont detect the heat of the exhaust anyways so it wouldnt matter. the only issue is that removing the catalytic converter will cause a check engine light due to the increased emissions and the computer might mess up the air fuel ratio to compensate which will affect the engines performance (although this has nothing to do with heat or back pressure so i dont know where they got that from) but as long as you leave the first 2 catalytic converters alone and only remove the 3rd one (which doesnt have any o2 sensors on the 9th generation continental) there wont be any codes or air fuel ratio issues.
I got a 2000 continental and I really wish it would have came from Florida or Texas but it came from Iowa being 23 years old there's only rust on the back two wheel wells somehow which I'm just going to get cut off
+Mitchell Phillips No you can't bypass the MAF, without that your engine will not run. The MAF should unscrew out of the housing it's in, then just make a fitting that it will fit in on whatever CAI you go with. K&N or someone else may even make a custom setup just for the Continental.
AT Idaho freeway speeds (80+), those 2 1/2 " FlowMasters will drone like crazy !! Better to get a pair of 2" x 21" MagnaFlow Glasspax -- powerful mellow tone, with NO DRONING !
John Gonzalez Yeah that would have been great but like I mentioned a few times in the video I didn't have access to a pipe bender so I did the best I could with what I had to work with...
2.5 inch exhaust pipe is too large for the 4.6 liter engine -- 2" is max pipe size for duals on this rig, due to loss of scavenging action of the 2.5" pipe size..
Sebastian szylkowski Absolutely! Because the town cars had the slow single overhead cam 4.6 and the continentals had the much better dual overhead cam 4.6 that they put in the cobra mustangs
Nope no tuner... I would like to try one out as well but I'd almost be afraid to use one after breaking the the transmission housing on two different transmissions with everything stock. Lol
@@Marinerk09 Honestly all I've done performance wise is a better flowing air filter and the exhaust work in this video. I would still like to do more but like I've said I'm a bit gun shy because of the transmission issues I've had. The Taurus transmissions they put in these Lincolns are definitely the weak link as far as I'm concerned...
The catalytic converters as used by FOMOCO, will flow as much air as a piece of straight pipe that is the same diameter as the converter's inlet-outlet ends. In other words, there is NO RESTRICTION in a NEW cat converter. Chopping off the 3rd cat on the Lincoln made it LIGHTER, but no more powerful. The SOUND is way cool, but those FlowMasters have an inlet-outlet size that is TOO LARGE for the pipe size of the Lincoln. Anything over 2 inches (outside diameter) is too big for the 4.6 liter engine. Too large of a pipe/muffler size will cause a low-end torque loss and an overall loss of fuel economy due to lack of "scavenging" of the exhaust gasses.
LOL could of save a bunch of cash and time. Just cut off cat and mufflers left resonator on it basically straight open pipe that cleans up sound without adding restriction of blow masters and would of sounded just as good if not better.
2:31 And basically what they look for when you scrap catalytic converters, btw I'm not a catalytic converter thief, I'm a scrapper who gets catalytic converters from people every once in a while that have gone bad
As is the case with a lot of bolt-on performance parts...why would you want to mess with the factory's system? Why? Because you can if you feel you want to. See also Fast & Furious series of movies and the entire street racing industry. Why does someone seek 1000bhp from a 4-cylinder engine? Why not get all the performance out of a car? This car has a 4.6 L V-8. When I slam down the throttle pedal on mine, it moves in and out of traffic when it needs to.

Seems so odd to see a luxury slow cruser sound like a mean beast.
beebop shopbop my 93 town car was louder removed the resonator and factory mufflers and used flowmaster super 44s
7 second 0 to60 15 quarter
I think it’s a perfect balance it wouldn’t sound appropriate if it was to sporty.
Besides the better sound, does it increase acceleration/horsepower at all?
You would probably get a slight horsepower increase (5-10) due to decreased back pressure.
Can't wait to put 40's on my 95 Continental going to sound like it should... and it only got 73k original miles
Magnaflow!
Take those off and get you some single chambered 2-1/4 inch Thrush Rattlers or 409 stainless Super 10 mufflers. You welcome!
Get rid of the y. Run each manifold to its own muffler..... Them super 40's will report then......
what would you need to fix for this lincoln to idle at zero and sound calm??
Cleaning ur m.a.f.s
New plugs and msg coilpaks
did you get a chck engine light with deleting the cats?
Nope, I only deleted the 3rd cat which is downstream from all the O2 sensors.
To be honest I'd of just knocked of the cat and the two rear mufflers and left the resonator on would of sounded mean for a lot less $$

Yes because they plug into OBD2 which monitors the sensors on the 2nd cat.
Hahaha... Anti hot rot device!
Continental 4.6 engines were better than the town car 4.6
