I plan on putting a 2.9L Whipple on it. As for the idea of a turbo, never. I hate the sound of exhaust through turbos.

What? You don't like the sound of a real whistling turbo?



I drove one of the last ones in Korea before the LMTV phased them out.

most of the ones that sound stupid, get rid of the muffler. they make serious power and if tuned properly you retain the fuel economy of stock

I love the way the exhaust sounds now. It has long tube headers, no cats, and a single muffler. I don't want it to change.

Here we have had a very stringent Air Car program. The first thing they did was use an under body mirror to ensure you had cats. They even tested your gas cap for pressurization.
I am happy to announce that they have determined with all the newer cars on the road, this program will end Dec31. I am sure many will make mods soon here!

In rural ny it'* not super bad, most of the shops I go to just plug it in. If the car passes the dmv computer, you are good. Which just checks the mil and monitor status
