Default 84 crossfire performance tip headers!

The exhaust on a crossfire isn't the greatest but better than the 86 TPI with the two extra converters. You can add 30 - 50 hp with a quality exhaust system. You need to start with a good quality long tube headers that will flow into a high flow cat such as random technology cat or a straight pipe. Then into a large rear y pipe and into high flow mufflers or into muffler eliminators.

With all his "tech tips" an 84 engine could reach 400 HP with just a few adjustments.

These tech tips for our 84s are appreciated but have been done for the past 28 years. Not exactly newsbreaking.
