Exhaust Upgade Questions
I'm looking to enhance my exhaust system components, I'm thinking of going with TPIS headers with a corsa catback. But I'm still looking, and thinking, and doing research. What have you guys done and what kind of performance gains have you seen, how does it sound, and how bad is the resonance? Thanks

Talking HP, am I better off spending $2000 on heads than $700 headers and $1000 exhaust?
While you have some money, if you havent upgraded to the 95+ timing chain and vented opti, id definitely do that too.

Well for 93 the heads are good, you just need to port them and the intake manifold. Youll eventually have to upgrade the exhaust anyway if you want hp. You might as well do it now, and then save up for digging into the motor someday and then installing some AFR heads.
