I'm an FD guy and have a 93', but I really like this. Nice and clean inside and out. Looks great. What kind of power does this setup make?

I didnt see on your list of mods to do is an FMOC. You gotta ditch the stock behive and get a front mount oil cooler off of either a 2nd gen, an gsl-se or any pre 82 mazda rotary. IMO this should be done first or second. other than that HAWT ride. how does she drive?

My Carter is not loud at all. I used rubber washers. You could use a piece cut from an old radiator hose; it's the same stuff.

Looks good and sounds good but you you do at least the exhaust asap because without the exhaust you are not getting alot of power.

i will definitely do the exhaust system just need some money and more time for it, But from my understanding the R.E headers make a little more power then the Racing beats. correct? Can anyone give me some choices for good cats ?

I have the old RE headers on my widebody. They are claimed to flow better than the RE and looking at the design difference, I tend to agree. The dual outlet uses the same flange and gasket as the RB system, except it's mounted upside down. You can complete the rest of the exhaust with RB parts, simply cut off and flip one of the dual outlet flange, unless you have the RE pre-silencer. You will need to make an adjustment for length.

thanks torchioid, for the info . I was wondering if the RB flange will bolt right up but you answered my question. Well i still would love to have some info on some cats looking to hear some comparison on some products
