KEI069 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 1.5 inch pipe is to small. If your trying to gain a little power you really need 1.75 inch pipe with a good straight through sports muffler and resonator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snot35 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Depends what sort of carb you've got. If it's the original then you're pretty limited, if it's a weber or similar, take it to a dyno shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
