So, you may find yourself wondering... "what should I do next to my 5 speed Probe GT" We all know that you don't care how nice your car looks, and you just want to go faster! That's what we live for in the performance section, to GO FASTER!!!
Intake Section
So, you're thinkin you're all bad ass with your K&N filter on your VAF as your only mod. Why not get yourself a nice cold air intake.... so you do a search and come up with this...

and now you're not sure whether you want HotShot or PRM or AudioXTC or the Prelude or the HKS or the Weapon R or HOME DEPOT!!!! you are so excited and confused and have no clue where to get these things, so you go to http://www.probeparts.com/parts/?cat=00000000 and find out where!
Exhaust Section
Being that you are hardcore, you have an APC muffler. Your friends are making fun of you and they call it your "fart can" You can't really back it up by saying it adds horsepower, because face it, it DOESNT. You will need at least a full catback to do that. Being the good probetalker that you are, you do a search and find this!!!
http://forums.probetalk.com/showthre...atback+exhaust
Damn, you are so excited that you tell all your friends all the brand names that you wanna get, like Borla, BroSpeed, Pacesetter, HKS, Greddy. You could be even more hardcore and go with a custom job at a shop and get whatever size piping that you want, and have them install any shiny chromed out muffler that you bring to them. This will take a little more of your time, and you will have to call around to places (yes, you'll have to use your phone) and you will be able to find any muffler you want at almost any performance online store, or ebay.
once again, you go here http://www.probeparts.com/parts/?cat=00000005 to see where to buy this shiznit from, or you do a search and find the most recent places to buy them from. (amazing how nice the search works huh?)
To accomodate your still kinda quiet exhaust note, you should probably get a test pipe or high flow cat, to further increase your exhaust flow. By searching you find that Jeff Jeske sells test pipes specifically for probes at http://www.jeffjeske.com/ and the you also find that testpipe.com also sells them here.. http://www.testpipe.com/htmlsite/testpipe.asp?item=Ford
You heard that Ben Spada had a stainless steel test pipe, and he got it from sparky93 as seen in this thread http://forums.probetalk.com/showthre...did=1701002851 Dang, so now your exhaust is all set, you are all loud and you can definitely feel the difference right? well probably not, but you can at least pretend
Clutches
Now your stock clutch just isn't cutting it with all your new found "POWER" is it? you feel it start to slip a few times and are getting sick of it. Well, it's time for an aftermarket clutch. We all know how much pgt95 and spada have been arguing back and forth lately about what clutch is better and what clutch has this and that clamping force, and it all seems like mumbo jumbo. well you can witness some arguing here, but in the middle there are some good points
http://forums.probetalk.com/showthre...ormance+clutch
wow that was fun to read, now time to read this one http://forums.probetalk.com/showthre...ghlight=clutch and also do a search for BLUMX6 using the word clutch and you will find lots of nice ones.
So now you can say to your friends, yeah, i got a "racing cltuch" whether it be a clutchmasters, SBC, ACT, Centerforce (don't get that one), Valley Friction (careful with that too) or whatever you choose. I'm sure whatever you wish to choose though, you will go to www.probeparts.com and find the best prices for what you want and where to buy!

Well i hope you haven't gone and installed that clutch before reading this part. You may run into some problems when installing or afterwards, and your tranny's axle seals will be leaking (maybe you ripped one, or whatever) either way, you should replace them to insure no leaks! and wow look at this, i just searched for tranny seals, and this wonderful thread came up
http://forums.probetalk.com/showthre...ight=axle+seal (wow the words are even highlighted, isn't the search function great) Also, this thread has PART NUMBERS!!!
