1g exaust

[nced_12]

I have a 94 Talon ES and I was wondering if it would be worth putting an after market exaust on. Since its not turbo I know it wouldn't do much to add hp but I guess I just want a little more exaust sound. I hate that angry bee sound so what type of exaust should I get, or if I should even put the money into it. I want to turbo my car asap but there is always that whole money thing :rolleyes:

Probably you cheapest option is to sell your car and buy another 1g with turbo. You would probably be able to break about even. There are a ton of things that you have to do to turbo a non-turbo, and I don't think it would be worth it. It's really expensive and a headache from what I've heard.


As far as your exhaust, less backpressure is always a good thing.:) The cheapest way to have a larger exhaust is to go to a muffler shop and have them build you one. Bud's Muffler in Denver hooked my up with my 3" exhaust.:D

Good luck!

Well, I have the same car. Don't know if you've done yours yet but I think it was worth the price. I bought my cat-back system with Magnaflow muffler. I didn't have an intake when I first did mine so I probably only gain maybe 5 HP. After getting my intake I probably got another 2-3 HP. I have a 2.25 system and it made a pretty big difference on the high-end. Where it used to kind of die-off at 5k-6k RPM it now pulls good upto about 7-8K (speedo goes to 9K).
The Magnaflow has a great deep and throaty sound to it like a mustang which is cool.
I also went to Buds muffler shop to have it installed. They did a great job and stand behind their work. My total cost was about 600 w/ the install. It's just a first step towards your mods. I hope to do a Header and downpipe to complete my system.
I also bought a performance chip off ebay that changes the A/F and makes it deliver more fuel but I'm scared to hook that up since it wants to tap into the IAT sensor wire and I don't know where that is on my talon. I think it's in a wire loom right by my MAF. Let us know!
