look at the beginning of the 1st forum, about 5 threads down you'll see something called the FAQ page... lots of info there.

Oh, and welcome

If you live in a state without emmission testing, a Racing Beat header and presilencer fitted in place of the stock exhaust manifold and cats will free up some power. Those 2 items will set you back around $450-500 alone.
The stock cats are fairly restrictive. Simply removing them, and going with a straight pipe in their place helps quite a bit.

Also, if you are going the non emissions friendly route. Don't forget to try saving up for a nice weber or something. I will never stop promoting webers on these rotarys ever since I got mine working lol.
