I just got a 1991 S13 and need to build on the platform. I was going to have a crower cam installed and DC headers, but after talking to a dude who knows a LOT more about mods than I (not hard to do, but he rocked his out) was told that if I got a cam and headers, there would be little improvement because its still breathing through a stock exhaust. I was trying to do upgrades in a stepwise manner, cam and headers, then coilovers next year, body kit etc, ... But I can do without the cam for now if it is true about needing a larger diameter exhaust. I might just go for headers, a ram air, and new exhaust. Does this sound right to you, because I am going to order your exhaust anyway...just was hoping to wait another 6months or so since the exhaust is still fine and I could pay for mods in stages. Does this sound true about his suggestion to put the cam install off and go with exhaust instead for now with the headers and ram? What diamter would you recommend? I dont mind either 2.5 or 3" (stock KA for now) and plan to upgrade at least headers, ram air, for now and eventually the cam upgrade as well. Thanks in advance for your recommendation and expertise.
