Re: Newbie (Wikid1)

Welcome. If you can cut off your cat. Not a mod but check plugs wires cap rotor. Cut your air lid (FREE). I spent a week on my back with my 85 fixing the exhaust. My buddy took his 89 to a muffler shop and got true duals and tips (no mufflers) for about 150. Wish I had known. Your mufflers are shot or have been replaced. Check front and rear Y pipes for leaks. HAVE FUN! :D
Enjoy the ride and STW

Re: Newbie (Wikid1)

Welcome to the forum.

First thing would be K&N, and cut open the lid. Then throttle body bypass.

Once you are ready to spend money, do some exhaust work.

Welcome! :seeya

I'll follow what everyone else is saying and suggest a K&N air filter, with a cut lid.

Re: Newbie (Wikid1)

Welcome to the forum. Yes, I would definately start with the K&N filter and if you dont know what a (cut lid ) is, ask we'll be glad to help.
