Exactly what I have....x-pipe, chips and no cats.

I live 10 minutes away from the border of a state that has no emissions laws. 10 minutes away from paradise?

Most of us cats will need cats.

Mr Big Dave, with all that happy happy go fast stuff, won't you find it difficult behaving while breaking in your rebuilt engine?

Peace.

X-Over and RMB and the lunchbox intake manifold of the 85 or 86...get ready for some noise

becuase it's going to be LOUD

Uhhhhhh NO not exactly

...I can assure you that WILL NOT be the case he X-Over is a tuned exhaust. There is more to than just taking a few specs to a muff shop and saying..."Dude, build this!" But you can take it to any muff-shop and get what you pay for.

Dave, on the EM's (early models or pre-S4 years) a muff-shop will charges about $20.00 to cut off your muffler and add in some pipe in the rear and... "WALLA" instant RMB!

I you don't like it (which I doubt will be the case becuase the 85 and 86 years sound simply narly with the RMB alone and the best of all years IMHO). Unfortunately, no HP gains but it sounds awesome. Tap the pedal a little at the traffic light and it will scare the hell out of ricers that wanna race...makes their little peters shrivel up to the size of a cocktail weenie!
