Thumbs up 2/3 New Exhaust Coming Soon

time to get new polished ceramic unequal length shorties and new spintech pro-street cat back for the 94. I've no idea how long those equal length headers have been on but they're pre-coating except paint type and full of pinholes, not to mention a biotch putting in fresh plugs and wires!! the cat back has been fixed a bunch of times in the last 2 years, reweld hangers, pipes etc. and has been on the car new 6 years ago when I bought it. the h-pipe with cats is staying for now. hopefully all the parts will be in this week!

p.s. the car now has 232,500 daily driven miles on it and is still running strong. never had a valve cover or timing cover off yet ..... knock on wood!

New parts rock!

I have new headers coming this week too.

Those 302's can last pretty long. I didn't remove my valve covers or front cover until about 220,000 miles -- and that was to do an H/C/I swap.

Spintech.

Sounds like a nice setup. You'll love the sound.

I don't think I have heard a Spintech setup on a 5.0.
