I have a 1994 Toyota Celica St (1.8 liter). With 170K on the clock I have decided to make it a casual driver/auto-X car - possibly a track day or two.
I added a cold air intake and want to do something cheap but effective from the cat back. Not much out there aftermarket and not sure I want to spend mega $$ on a car this age. Just want to improve the flow and the sound. Since I need to drive it from point A to B, I need to keep the emissions intact.
Any suggestions on what I could have done? I am not skilled mechanically so I would need to find a shop (preferably not a chain like Meineke that quotes $350 and states: "It won't be faster, just noisier.").
I am in the Pittsburgh area if anyone knows of a shop that is better at fabricating than they are at wallet-rapeing...
7AGE-20Valve. Oh yeah. Those rock.
Oh, cheap and easy on the exhaust Well, find a small no-name muffler shop and go talk to them. Tell them you want mandrel bends, and if they don't have them, you'll supply them yourself. Go for a 2-1/4" system with whatever muffler you want. JC Whitney sells mandrel bends in J sections of whatever diameter you want pretty cheap. Get one or two of those and that should do it for all the bends you'll need.
Our intent on our 1983 Supra is to buy/scavenge the mandrel bent pipe and weld it up ourselves
