52125, Cheap upgrades..
Posted by Drewcool2, May-29-03 03:54 PM
After a new intake, what are some other easy and somewhat inexpensive things that someone can do themself?

And if the muffler were to be replaced, would there still be a lot of restriction in the Cat and exhaust manifold? Or is most restriction in muffler?

Thanks

Underdrive pulley. AF/X is recommended. Look in the "things seen before" catagory and there's a ton of stuff. If you don't mind some vibration, motor and tranny mount inserts. Look into short shifter or if you are auto; final drive mod.

Which one did you get?

I got the polished 4-1 and think I notice a tad more but mainly I think it looks great. Well if you like the "burn't / driven hard" look. }(
It turned from the nice chrome look into gold within minutes, & now is getting purpleish. I knew it was going to do that because my 2stroke ATC pipe has been doing that for years now, makes it look tuff!!!
