I went with TPIS for my L98 and it seemed to be a good fit and #8 plug seems to be easy to get to

Did you buy the headers only or with x-pipe ?

I have Exotic Muscle... have had them for three years. They are ceramic coated inside and out. No problems with installation. Have been good to me on my '94. I bought the extension tubes from Merl at EM plus the cats.

It is about the same as the 91 except the emissions fittings are different. They didn't understand why it isn't on their website but they do carry it. As a matter of fact, in 4 weeks a new batch will be there. Give them a call. I did

Some guys have claimed the OBX sold on ebay have worked well.

Spoke recently with someone who bought them for his ZR1 and said they are not a knock off of SW they are in fact them sold under the name.

how true who knows.

When I bought, I bought the WHOLE Deal. Headers with no Air, no EGR, bought the Xpipe and the exhaust. Also have no Cats, No Mufflers. Now when you bought the system from Melrose back then they where using Random Tech to fab up the exhaust now there where some fit problems and since then they have recomend that you can get the rest of the exhaust fabed up locally. they are a GREAT Vendor to work with. now the question is is my system LOUD? Well I had a we had rather extensive head and intake modifications along with roller rockers and cam, not to mention custom intake with a 58TBI unit. Well with the top down you can cruise thru town and the highway and can carry a conversation and listen to the radio, until you punch the go fast peddle then ALL H%#$ Breaks loose the tires will slip and you can get the rear end to come around. My wife likes driving it!

Have Fun wro87

On the dyno they got it up to 165MPH and then we were running a little lean so had to kick up the fuel pump pressure showed over 425fp of tourq and over 325hp at the rear wheels!
