Some real good material in this thread. Yeah I have been trying to develop a plan, but it seems to be centering around making some affordable power for a few years. Then when I've been working (at a real job lol) for a while and can afford it, I'd like to build a newer better motor from the ground up. But I need something to entertain myself with during the meantime, which also lends credence to the "affordable" performance idea.
But now you guys got me interested in the midpipe. I'm afraid I know very little about them. I am pretty sure I can afford some long tube headers for the car somewhere in the immediate future, so I'm sure I'll need to new midpipe to reflect that. And I've heard that long tube headers are a good way to free up some HP without hurting the gas mileage. Makes sense. But how big around does the new midpipe need to be? I think the stock pipe size is only something like 2.5 inches.... right? So what size midpipe do I need to be looking for? And does the midpipe need to be special to fit the longtube headers?
