Sounds like you need to become familiar with all the local junkyards either to find parts or to offer your 94 for sale?

Amazing how some can abuse and ignore a $50,000 car until it becomes worthless not only for resale but as a driving vehicle.

A brand new exhaust with cats and exhausts with precats might cost $6,000 + or a few hundred> $500 at junkyard.

All your bases we have!

Great piece on the news about "skyrocketing" gas prices and interviewing people at the pump. Caught a Frenchman who was saying "This is great! In France it is $12/gal! I love America!"

We're on the tail end of cheap energy, but it is still cheaper here than any other importing 1st world contry.

Get a new exhaust system. Better to get it at an independent muffler shop as it will be cheaper than OEM. A performance shop will be a little more but more customizability

The 94-96 Q exhaust system can be adapted to fit 90-93 by welding a one short ~<6" extension to compensate for the passenger side cat difference in length.

I've run one since 2002 when I replaced my EXPENSIVE rusted out aftermarket performance [loud enough to wake the dead] system.

Expecting a loss in performance I was was disappointed in the stopwatch test, nothing gained or lost by going back to oem except the noise reduction. Quarter mile actually was faster with oem.
