New sig quote!

No offense to mooby, I just think it's funny.

Wow what a debate over the cat. It is sure that the cat have prove their sell over the years about reduce gas, and maybe mooby got some new point to the subject!. But the fact is that you want a car that go fast you have no choice to remove that "stopping performance part".......but on old car! the new one need the cat .......Believe me i know a lot of person with civic and eagle talon (mistsubishi eclipse) and they all run like low 12, high 11.....and i never see one of this car with a catalityc converter........we even remove all the exausht when we go to drag!...........(sure that later i will buy a daily driver and i will keep the cat)

so i'm also removing my cat on my SHO, sorry mufflerman i'll let the toyota echo do is job about the cat and global warning....anyway look at the name they give to this car , they put it on the planet for that purpose!!!!

GOOD TIMES!!! I got my KYB-GR2s today so all I gotta do now is get some new bolts and what not and my car's going down this weekend.

I think the KYB Gr-2's might be part of my birthday present...gotta talk to my parents... I can just tell them it...preventative maintenance...

wow i would love having parent like yours

Right now CATs are so well designed that you are maybe loosing 5-7Hp maximum even with stocks and probably around 3-5Hp with a high-flow cat. Keep your CATs, the feds, and keep our lungs happy.

JedHeads right. Especially with a turbo (don't know about supers), without CATs the turbo will spool up faster whereas with CATs the turbo has to push against the CATs which will lengthen spool time and lower maximum turbine speed. Longer spool time means boost comes on later and lower max turbine speed means less maximum boost. In reality though on the street, the frequency of you hitting max boost compared to typical driving will be rarely (ok, for most ). But on the track that's another story where it's max boost all the way and anything less is 2nd place.

Also, as far the KYBs go, anyone know where the cheapest it would be to get new suspension bushings and strut mounts, and possibly a tie rod or spring insulator/support?

nice i might be working like 70 hours a week in a couple days so ill be making lots of money and im gonna try an buy the wagon
if this happens i might be cutting the cats off too.... and modifying the y-pipe so that it flows better, might keep the cats though, ill see
btw mufflerman, i might be doing that myself with a custom cat back....wanted to do true duals from the front but i took a look under the car and it seems really complicated to squeeze em in so ill probably start from the y-pipe with 2 1/2" or 2 1/4" and split into 2" or 2 1/4"duals (thinkin of not having mufflers... just aftermarket resonator and resonator tips)

now getting to the point, since theres gonna be a eastern canada meet in ottawa, if i dont have the exhaust done by then mind giving me a hand??
oh and one more thing, u got a machine shop??? wanna get roller rockers in a couple months if everything works out and a head planning so i was wondering if you can help me out with that (probably gonna do some port and polish too if i do all of that)

What to possably do to my '94 GL Vulcan, a wish list i'd say:

1. Performance: Somewhat rebuild engine and tranny while port/polish the heads, manifolds, whatever ported/polished. Then get an Flowmaster Delta 50 SI/SO with a dual polished tip and a custom burned Bamachip. She may not be much faster but at least open up more at the point where it won't dog out. Should expect around 15-20 gain from all this HAHA!!!

2. Suspension: New struts, springs, 24/26 swaybar combo with better endlinks, better brakes but they do fine for now.

3. Wheels: I like those 2003-04 Mustang V6 chrome-plated wheels but dunno.

4. Audio: Amp my speakers and the sub.

5. Redo the interior somewhat like the ceiling.

These are possable unless trading her in.
