Racing Beat Twin Presilencer Exhaust system. Best, but not cheapest.

K&N Filter, homemade cold air intake, remove all emissions related equipment.


Start there.

CHEAPEST?
Ask Jeff20B about his do-it-yourself direct-fire ignition. About $5 I think. . .
go to www.mazspeed.com,
then ultra garage,
then Q&A racing,
then racing ignition questions,
its under there somewhere. about 140 replies.
i can't get mazspeed to come up on my computer otherwise I'd post a link.
