crown victoria high performance ideas

I have a 95 p71 vic, and I have flowmaster super 44s on it with the second converter hollowed out, it id still whisper quiet. I am looking at headers for 96 and up mustangs, they seem like they would fit with the corresponding h or x pipe. Any info on this would be great. Has anyone done this to their vic, or know if these mods will work without too much modification to the rest of the existing exhaust?? I just want some exhaust note, dont wanna be extremely loud or obnoxiois.

P71s DO have different heads, AND programming. Do some research before u look like a fool posting whatever comes to the top of ur bald head. Drive a p71, then a civillian vic, and tell me u dont feel a difference. I work on these cars every day, its my job, maybe if u didnt live behind a keyboard, u would learn something

I'm looking at some of the old posting in this thread and laughing at all the mis-information here. The Crown Vic since 1992 has been almost the same in civilian models as police models. The only differences were in the programming of the PCM different shift points, higher idle speeds, and higher top end. The P71 used better tires for longer high speed use, HEAVY DUTY suspension parts for minor off-road excursions, and primarily for longer service lives. Additional cooling for power steering and oil was added, and a high fan speed for the radiator. The PI heads were introduced in ALL 4.6L and 5.4L engines in 1999 after Ford put them in the Mustangs. Now there were some Special Pursuit models offered with a modified programmed PCM, but you will never find them at any auction. Ford will detune these engines before they can be auctioned off (part of the contract with Ford).

I have been purchasing CVPI's for over 20 years. Where are these tuned cars and the de-programming contracts? I have never seen any of those in any contract.

I have a friend who worked for the Ford Regional office who told me about these Special Pursuit vehicles. They were very few made, and had to be brought to the Ford dealer occasionally for maintenance. It was at this point were they were re-programmed. It was written as a special recall on these particular vehicle. They all had to be filled with premium gasoline.
Which vehicles? He didn't know. All he knew was that these were special timing programs Ford was trying out on some of the Crown Vics.

Assuming you are talking about a 4.6L Crown Vic / Town Car, there is no such thing as a "Police Intercepter" engine. The police cars use the same engine as the civilian units but have dual-exhaust, bigger sway bars, different springs, etc. The 2006+ Police cars have the Marauder airbox which gives a few more HP (250 vs. 239) but the engine itself is the same as the civilian unit.
As was mentioned, if money is not a consideration then you could consider supercharging your car. At least one company offers SC kits for most 4.6L Crown Vics...

I have no experience with their products but others who do have good things to say about their products.
