air silencer and mods question??

[acidangel316]

my good friend just bought a '00 GT and we wanted to start modifiying it but before we dump a bunch of cash we want to do all the free stuff. as far as removing the air silencer, where is it and are there any tricks to taking it out?? also, does anyone know any good websites for 4.6 liter mods that show you how to advance the timing and other cool stuff?? i really don't know much about the 4.6's.

thanks, josh
(i have a rather heavily modified '89 GT so i am pretty car smart)
