Default Help from SN95 owners!

Hey all, well I picked up my (new to me) 94 GT today! I drove it home about 73 miles and it is an awesome car! I have had an 88, 89, 91 and now this 94 and it is by far the nicest one of the 4. Great looks, very clean, a lot of power, who could ask for more. I will post pics tomorrow morning.

Onto my questions: I want to do a few little mods here in the next couple weeks including a whole new exhaust system. I will be going with BBK shorty headers (or summit brand depending), an X-pipe with high flow cats (in CA, must stay smog legal), and a cat back. I have used the Flowmasters in the past, but this time I would like to go with something else, does anyone have any suggestions???

I am also going to be upgrading the intake system with a MAF and TB, what size works best for the SN95's? I was thinking 73mm C&L MAF, and a 65mm TB. This is going to be my daily driver for years to come, so I want to keep the mods to a minimum.

1.7 Roller rockersare also going to be added when I replace the valve seals/push rods, etc.

Next thing will be gears, nothing big, but am wondering what is the best highway/street gear for an SN95 to boost the accelleration a LITTLE bit. I don't want to go with 4.10's so I am referring to either 3.55's - 3.73's.

I also want a nice set of wheels, but I don't know which to go with. Sorry this is so long but I have a lot of questions! TIA~

3.73's

and saleens trust me.

what color is it

It is called Opal Silver or something like that. It is silver with a blue pearl almost. It's really nice looking.

I was thinking 3.73's as well..

Saleen's look awesome on your 97, how much do they run price wise??

Also, I want the exhaust to sound good, but I don't want it to be as loud as my old 40 series Flows on my 91. Are there any good mufflers (magnaflow, mac, etc.) that sound good but not LOUD? I am hoping that the cats help with this as well, as none of my Fox's had any cats, they were all O/R midpipes.

Really? That's good to know thanks.. Anyone have any recommendations for the exhaust, as well as a Throttle body? What is the stock throttle body size?
