Bill,

Definitely understand your view on the 305, but either now would allow for larger engine choices (or modifications) in the future, or even power adders without robbing too much power. If one is going to upgrade in the future, why buy the same part twice?

Thanks WBT. I was gonna say that. Even with a mild 350 that might be over kill

Anything but the flowmaster. My friend has one on his tpi 305 and it sounds terrible. Magnaflow is nice and medium, Borla is nice because its adjustable but expensive and Hooker is quiet under normal loads and sounds like a racecar when you push it. Hooker is the cheapest of the 3 if you are still on a tight budget.

this thread could not come at much better time. even thought greenformula92 and I have different animals here, I to have been in the hunt for a good exhaust system as well. I'm leaning on the borla side with my 97' project and kooks headers -true duel setup on my 02' project. greenformula92 I like where you went with it, the first time you did ...you went for doing it right.

Thank you sir. I did a lot of research for the cat-back, I knew I wanted the emission headers because I want it to pass inspection and it has to go through the sniffer. I chose the cat just by process of elimation. Its a Direct replacement but is 3 inch diameter in and out. The Borla was just one of those things where I have wanted it on previous cars but didn't want to send the money but I finally have a car worth spending the $765.00 on. I was going to do the runners as well in this round of upgrades but the borla sucked up the extra money for that

Greenformula are you going to drop the motor to install the headers? Also think about getting the protective boots for the plug wires, you will notice the wires will almost rest on the headers. You will have no room for working, but the headers do just, and stress just fit in nicely.

The headers are shorties so they will almost drop right in. I have the protective boots for.the wires and I also bought wires with 90* boots.

Greenformula sounds like its going to breath a lot healthier. My car should be done later in the week providing nothing more breaks. I live right in manahawkin now, would love to hear what you got there.
