BIG UPS to TieBird for making it possible!

Got some oil leak issues that will be taken care of but all is need to do is to switch all of my suspension parts over and MAYBE some lowering Springs. Damn i must be getting OLD 'cause i am actually thinking about upgrading the exhaust but i think i want it a little quieter.a little less rumble. i would like SOME tone but not as much as the Magnaflow exhaust had. i have to do the exhaust system anyways so the car will have 2.5in piping from the Dp back with just the rear muffler but a quierter muffler. Any ideas?


Also ihave to replace the hood and the hinges apparently some knucklehead did not secure/close the hood and started driving.

Hey man, where you live down there? I was down around De Paul this weekend partying. Drove around for 2 hours finding the place and then parking. Accidentally spent $20 on an EL ticket, too. Guess they don't give change.

Yo thanks for all of the compliments people! i really appreciate it! the 92 745T will be missed :( i was the 2nd owner with all of the po recordAfter talking alot of $hit 'bout red cars blah, blah, it is starting to really grow on me. it does stand a little and i have not even washed it yet. still got some things to do. just sent off the title for transfer and $h!t. This time i WILL HAve FULL COVERAGE Ins.


in a few of weeks ill will be back in Wi to put all of my suspension parts on this car which is IPD sways,lower cherry brace, All of the front polys,mbc and boose ;) gauge. still trying to source this oil leak but from the looks it seems to be minor.

exhaust = always borla. 1,000,000 mile warranty is hard to beat. They're pretty quiet, only get loud when you get on the gas.

Nice dude,

I'm curious as to what a 40 series flowmaster would sound like on a turbo redblock.

like crap

mostly because there would be a chorus of your own weeping after realizing you wasted money on a flowmaster :-P

I like the baffle muffler i have on my 940
it keeps the volume low enough as to not wake up the entire town when i get in the car at 6:15am to go to school/work
but its still loud enough that someone knows it when i get into it

i have a glasspack and no first muff/resonator on my n/a and its really pissin me off.

i remember the car being a bit more torquy on the bottom end with the original stock set up too

going to a little quieter baffled muff could help tho, as he mentioned above that he was thinking of going quieter.

like ****!

redbrick had one on his 242 and it sounded like an old peice of doo doo and he switched it to magnaflow XL series straight through and it sounds/performs much better!

on '92 745T ihad 2.5 from dp back with hi flow cat and magnaflow muffler and i think is sounds good but after getting this new wagon, i think iam going to go back to a resonator. what im looking for is something that is quiet while idleing or city driving but once i step in it ill get nice deep tone.

i will basically get the same thing as the 92 745T but with a resonator. i do like the magnaflow mufflers but somebody mentioned borla exhaust.

still shopping around to see if i can get a better deal than 500 bones
