Copart $1250 2009 Ford P71 Crown Vic Police Car - New Exhaust + Sticker Removal

[@z1catfish]

Improved sound, BUT for $450 I would expected to seen new pipe front to rear, and a 2.5" pipe to allow thjat v8 to breath, would add a deeper sound to it too....

[@mexicanspec]

On Ebay you can get Flowmaster 40s for $70.00 each. That would be $300 for labor. That seems excessive.

[@guruoo]

@@mexicanspec Yeah, that was pricey.

[@derek8147]

Agreed. My local shop did my whole 2.5" stainless steel exhaust with 2 super 10 flowmaster mufflers for $515 total. Red Run Exhaust in Ephrata, PA if you are close. They do amazing work for a great price.

[@peterwall737]

What a great video. . No swearing . No TK . Please keep up the great work and content 😎

[@travisburch6970]

The exhaust sounds great

[@MeDicen_Rocha]

Paint it dark blue like the detective cruisers.

[@knight24757]

Paint it all black and add some tints and strobe lights. Keep it as a daily driver.

[@AH-le3py]

U r the best v logger who does not make 20 videos on fixing a car. Also u spend the most time in copart.

[@6lastresort]

Crown Vics sound way better than I'd ever expect.

[@SirTime10]

That exhaust sounds so good, love that rumble

[@joshgalloner7663]

Randy you read my mind ! That ford tuxedo black an painting it all black is gona be so sweet .keep up the awesome videos n great builds.

[@MrTHEWICHY]

Definitely sound great. I did the same thing on my first Crown Vic: Flowmaster with the Marauder tips (sounds a lot better). I’m thinking do the same on my second LX Sport Crown Vic.

[@fasteddy917]

Nice to be part of something great. Makes the week flow along so much better. Thank you.

[@MelodyOo]

I always used Googone for adhesive removal, never let me down.

[@DerekMc64]

I think if it were my Crown Vic' I would go single colour as the two tone really only works with the full Police signage and lights,,

[@45AMT]

Sounds perfect to me. Not to loud but enough to not sound factory. Those eraser wheels are a real work saver.

[@michaeldrury8071]

Randy just wanted to tell you I served with Spooner in the National Guard and he’s a great person. You really need to come to Altus and do a segment with him when you are done with the car!

[@carlitosway3800]

You need to upgrade the rest of the exhaust system maybe 3" then you'll get that nice sound you been looking for

[@shartne]

The hail dents will be magnified with gloss black paint. Maybe paint it all white.

[@tacticalpilot]

Thanks for doing the before and after on the exhaust. It's hard to find another comparison as detailed as this. Nice job Randy!

[@richardkafka5625]

I'd go all black on the paint. The exhaust sounds good and it will get deeper as you drive the car. Great job as always.

[@racerboy2212]

Great job so far! I’m still interested in having a P71 in my fleet! I need as an advertising car for my AmsOil business. Sticker it up with a graphics kit and use it to bring oil to my customers. The trunk holds at least 20 cases of oil!

[@SpicyTaco699]

Had 2011 p71 imported to the UK got a British registration plate on it now after got to UK standards etc 110k on the clock got it up on the ramps and it looks like its done 110 miles not 110k amazing cars so happy i finally got a American car imported 4.6L V8’s amazing engines

[@bwolper]

Uh, okay. I don't see any reason to change the exhaust, but if it makes you happy, more power to you. I still love your vids. Congratulations on 200k.

[@stephenmusial]

I am with u leave it the way it is

[@robertbuckshorn5311]

Randy if you take a block of wood and a floor jack you should be able to bend the back bumper of the red truck up enough to make it presentable.

[@trbstang]

I think the black and white looks great on it. Keeps the police heritage without the labels.

[@Degeneratesgarage]

I did the same 40 series on my crown Victoria however, I took out the tail pipes and did a turn down right after the muffler. Wasn’t too loud but sounded really nice and gave it that old school muscle sound it needed. And do a secondary cat delete. Those just take up unnecessary horsepower.

[@jean-marcandjoshua-petsjournal]

You are a good man Randy. Captain Spooner would be proud.

[@jean-marcandjoshua-petsjournal]

You show respect for the service and heart given by the Police Officers. That shows a respectful and well raised person. Thank you.

[@PHONETECKGUY]

Randy, definitely go all black with the paint job. I'm a big crown vic guy and the resale on a full black one is wayyy higher than an "oreo" as we say. Or white one. You wont be upset with the all black look!

[@jrsgarage7211]

Looks 100% better! A+ job Randy!!!

[@timothyharrison8953]

I'm happy you went with some type of muffler. My neighbor has a truck without mufflers. He gets up before I need to. Needless to say I have not needed an alarm clock on the days he starts his truck.

[@jimnielsen4076]

The wires could also have been for emergency lights behind the grill (mounting tabs there) or on the push bumper cross over bar. You're right about the hood. That's what I was taught in '85. Stun & stuff into the backseat. Peer pressure then to rarely handcuff prisoners. You controlled them.

[@kbj12106]

Paint it all black & add "AAR-FAM" Add it to the roof or where you choose, keep the 40's. Use it for an attraction to the new dealership, w/ lights and siren hooked up and keep this one. Do not let go of it as I believe this one is a keeper!

[@leepeebles3960]

I like the exhaust. Can't go wrong with Flowmasters. Sounds great

[@isaakunger2812]

When are you painting the BMW

[@SylasWorld]

Fr

[@Bear_83]

Hell with painting. Just sell it as is

[@jayy.cls6]

Something might be really wrong with it cuz he wants to make a separate video just for it ..

[@jerryzotta4482]

I don't know if anyone mentioned this but it is easy to add cruise control to the crown vic. I'm doing now to mine.

[@maxium4x4]

Heat gun and vinyl are straight forward, for the no damage wanted difficult areas, I use an aircraft grade remover.

[@jaysmith5084]

It's not the mufflers that's holding it back it's the four catalytic converters that Ford uses ! Try and replace the H pipe with a hipo one like for a Mustang GT it will sound awesome 👍

[@AnimeEDM]

i would really do the lapd style black and white. id think that would look beautiful! with the black front and back and a white top and doors!

[@Jjay-tw1yy]

Louder is not always better. Sounds great to me

[@alexmcdougall889]

The Vic looks great after decal removal. I especially like the two-tone black and white top. Looking forward to seeing the new paint job.

[@juliuscullum6596]

I would go back with the original black and white but it's your Rodeo Lol. That back bumper on that truck makes me want to go there and straighten it every time I see it lol.

[@garyriley1617]

I like watching the videos I told my youngest son about copart and he bought a GMC Sierra pick up he and I worked on it . He done most of the work , but it is ready for the road I also saw the video on the give away car good luck and keep on copart

[@joshakaoger69]

Look into "flitz" it will literally polish most things even non auto ...can go from plastic or glass headlights to the actual body on the car it's amazing

[@midnightgambler3718]

The Flowmasters sound ok, I went with Magnaflow on mine, similar result at first, but after 3 years and 35K miles they're a bit louder and throaty now....how about a sinister gun metal gray for the car? Look like a detective mobile..

[@maxim430]

Yes gray

[@SylasWorld]

Yes gray!!

[@gbowne1]

Detective or unmarked car? that could get someone in some trouble. I'd advise against that no matter how cool it is.

[@erikkarlonas180]

Cleetus has one in gray called Chief

[@midnightgambler3718]

@@gbowne1 unmarked P71's come in all colors, relax, it beats black and white all to hell

[@sebastianlarcherdebrito6048]

That eraser wheel did a good job!!

[@rmckelvy15]

Sounds good love that mellow growl

[@rickr442]

eraser wheel melts the vinyl lettering. I'm a striper, have used many of them Good call.

[@markcollins5026]

Man, I hope that was cop exhaust you put on !

[@tylerzeile9679]

I was able to change both headlights and both corner lights for 60 bucks from Rockauto to give it a cleaner look and to see at night as well just a suggestion I have a 2011 CVPI

[@carterthemechanic9955]

When you going to do another video on that car that's in the garage

[@id776]

I think it sounds more than great Its not loud but the sound is lovely

[@montyholland3357]

Love the rims on old red. Those flowmasters sounds so soooo much better than straight pipes. Excellent choice. They've got a Brush you can use to pull that off also. Just put it on your drill

[@F6HemiCharger]

A drill and an eraser wheel are the best. Love them.

[@waynegouin939]

Hi Randy. I like all black. Detective, under cover look. Id lose the bull bar too. Junkyard mags. Cold air kit.

[@curtscafe9497]

I think you should paint it black and have 75 painted on the roof

[@bradbozarth1822]

I think it sounds great, not too loud not too quiet, but you could always go louder :)

[@brian5o]

Wow, the Crown Vic turned out great! It looks so much better without the stickers on it and the Flowmasters sound awesome. If you'd like the exhaust to be a little louder, I'd suggest deleting a set of the cats or two. I used to own a Mustang SSP, the police package Mustang and it actually had 3 sets of cats on the H-pipe. I imagine your car has something similar and if you remove a set or two of them, it'll definitely make it louder. I can't wait to see this car after paint.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Please promise me you’ll keep the wheels

[@waxxdout]

He’s leaving the dents cuz cost to remove 😂 Ain’t fooling no one

[@BadBrad23]

No, He wants to go original as prob slammed dudes head in the hood.... Keep the petina....

[@waxxdout]

BadBrad23 Na u can tell he don’t wAna pay to fix it look at the red f150 what’s the excuse he wana keep it original as well?

[@waxxdout]

ApexSun exactly my point he don’t wana spend 100$ plus the paint fee flus the roof dent removal fee.

[@brandonredman9843]

waxxdout lol right

[@waxxdout]

ApexSun he would replace the hood exactly. And it’s obvious he’s not trying to waste that type of money pointless

[@cash8199]

She's coming along Randy! 👍🏾my opinion is you should paint it all black with the chrome exhaust tips.

[@bigninja2]

I think the decals will show under the repaint. It will take a thin coat of Bondo and primer to hide it.

[@real_apmoney]

The exhaust is still strapped, cut off 2 of the cats and the resonators and go full straight pipe, good thing is that it won’t throw any engine lights

[@ProducerLare]

Randy, as I mentioned in the previous video.. just go straight pipes from the cats back! Don’t bother with cherry bombs. TRUST ME... Aforementioned, I had a P71 & did this (after I also bought cherry bombs to put on it but after speaking with my exhaust guy, he said don’t even bother with the bombs). It was plenty loud & sounded _mean!_

[@dynamodbld4814]

Randy, Like your idea; go old school with some glass packs - cherry bombs.

[@kevinhitchcock7062]

How about turbo mufflers.

[@wes11bravo]

If you are looking to keep the original spirit of this car as a service vehicle, with the intention of putting the unit number and flags back on, definitely keep the Shamu format. I've seen P71s that were fixed up so nicely that you could barely tell it was ever a cop car.

[@johnrichard1970]

I like the sound of the exhaust. Love your vids.

[@ATGray-uw3xr]

Need to open the exhaust up after the muffler. And marauder tips would make a difference.

[@Jddvs]

The color should depend on the original color in the door jams, under hood, and deck lid. If they are the same color, that’s the color to use. They should be one color if the police paint scheme was applied after delivery. If you are lucky all will be the same and it will save you a bundle at MACO.

[@chazlabreck]

Nice job ...My sons 2011 interceptor just got rear ended and spun out at 70mpg and busted up. Him and his Gal are fine but that could have been bad..that car is a solid car man,,they are lucky....guy hit and ran too...cops got tags but my sons really bummed , he loved that car.. they are getting up there in price now too... parts a cheap still but man what a shame..

[@anthonygonzalez352]

Definitely solid black

[@johnulrich5572]

The cop car sounds good. Loud pipes just piss people off especially neighbors. Googone is the best way to do it without messing up the finish. I use it all the time.

[@jean-marcandjoshua-petsjournal]

All black is going to be scary. It sounds awesome.

[@DOFPHOTOS]

I’ve had like 5 of these best exhaust is a secondary cat delete and 2 1/2 inch x-pipe with the long red cherrybombs with side exits in front of the tires

[@Djwally13]

It sounds just fine! Has a little growl to it now. 😁👍

[@TXREDVR6]

I paid 250 for 2.5in pipeing with Magnaflow mufflers on my 2004 crown Vic. But if you wonna sound a bit louder chop the secondary cat’s and run 2.5in pipeing with x pipe and run some tips out back like a Mercury Marauder not the turn downs what the Vic comes with.

[@stephenhorbatiuk2811]

Randy , nice throaty sound. Just the right amount. Cheers

[@drewbenefield2001]

My man Randy!!

[@BobPegram]

I like the sound, don't go louder, the extra bass sound is good.

[@njukangsynclaire4057]

I don't watch your videos often but I love the way you laugh😁... makes me laugh also

[@dworsak79]

Car looks great Randy! Can't wait to see it finished! Keep up the great work!

[@saddoncarrs6963]

Randy, the new mufflers sound great, any louder would be, well.......immature. Painting the car black sounds good - hopefully the door jams are already that color. I'd get rid of the grill guard for pedestrian safety and probably the spot light, just because it looks a bit silly.

[@mh488]

Glad to see it moving forward.

[@jasontengan3215]

Ford Torreador red like a detective cruiser, had an 07 myself in that red, enjoy your videos man!

[@clittle580]

If you put that eraser wheel at an angle, it will work better. As opposed to straight on.

[@peterkwok9608]

Love those Crown Victoria Police interceptor 👍👍👍♨️♨️♨️♨️. 🚔🚔🚔🚔. They are work horses 👍👍

[@ianturner6954]

Lookin good randy handy lil wheel that!

[@sberryscake]

nice job. in the beginning, you said you would not name the former owner. then at the end you did. i hope they dont get mad. it really looks good and i think all black would look beautiful. i am wondering though... are you going to bend back the push bumper? have you tried? if you get couple of boards. one on the top of the bent part, and one on each pole, and put a jack in between them i bet it will straighten out. maybe a little help from a sledge on the top of the board. and interesting note... stock exhaust was fine, but new exhaust is POURING water out of the pipes. no water at all with stock.

[@jonhouck7254]

Love the Ford crawn Victoria awesome car

[@paulrodrigues9603]

You really need to use 2 hands and keep pulling into the heated vinyl. Don't let it snap off keep it going.

[@joelaurieri9065]

Leave it 2 tone tuxedo black and white .. good look and plays homage to the car

[@tony_25or6to4]

The hood dent was from when the cop was doing his Starsky and Hutch impression.

[@jjlutsch4089]

You can use brake parts cleaner to get all those stickers off but be careful it will eat the paint

I hope that You will get all Yout strengh and knowledge and get the Passat fixed soon. Waitting a video on that REBUILD ;)

[@universantos]

What about using some rubbing compound with the wheel to take off the stickers

[@toshayonguard4253]

Maga flow sounds more throaty.....or you can leave the flow masters on and put in a pair of electric cutout’s buddy’s put them on throttle switch so when you punch it they open to open headers for a beasty roar 🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Truckguy2007]

Tuxedo black has a little metallic in it. Should look good.

[@JVaughn344]
