Installed a set of Flowmaster shorty headers and NGK plugs in the ole girl today. No noticeable difference at idle but man, when you open her up on the road. BIG difference. Did not need the plugs but while I was in there, why not.


You can tell by the photos how much the factory ones really choke them down.

yes sounds great looks great to , an you lose even more power with the cats ,mine its totally unrestricted power ,though I am sure it helps alot if you ever get a chance to do true duals years down the road ,will feel like 50hp ,the state you live in is what matters like with mine I only got away with true duals couse its 95 an older ,if it was an 96 or newer I would have had to stay with y pipe cats ,what guys are doing now are the kind you can open an close to the track or road an allows so much more air to the engine ,yes when I did mine like night an day,thats another thing you can do with your car though cost I think is a lot when there open louder an feel the hp,yes I like NGK to makes the best plugs I still got the same set since my build ,i can tell you don't like the same as everyone elce an gave you car its own look ,that has been my thought all along to ,so much more you can do down the road to like a super charger or turbo,if your like me I like to think outside the box .seen 2016 ss other day was dirty spots an mud all over it parked at a bar room , something I never allow to happen with mine if so not for long

Thanks. Yep. Like to be a little different. Just like the cold air intake. I have a K&N on my 93 Z but decided to do a little differently on this one. Used some 4 inch silicone turbo tube for the 90 bend and a spectre air filter. And I can not stand a dirty car. I mean it is one thing to have daily driver stuff on it. But to be dirty is to be lazy..............

yes clutter is one thing ,my friends often tell me how clean I keep my cars ,or try I have not drove my 95 in the rain in 2 years too so I have not had to wash it yet the lack of rain I did not get stuck in it yet just use wax cleaner or damp towal an those fiber towals too work great a few times a year I wash all my polishing cloths in the washer ,those 376 engines are so popular an there making great hp too ,I think about a 2010 to 13 one day ss for sure ,your 93 could be set up easyer then my 95 ,couse the transmision still had a kick down cable for an oldshcool engine

Doing a lot of road construction very close and infront of my home. Duuuuuuuuuuuusssssstyyyyyy to say the least. So I got the girl a new car cover. not the GM one . A step up from it as it actually keeps the water out.

looks great i used to park mine with a cover under a gazeibo ,an would wash it alot ,now haveing a metal garage for my 95 helps alot ,so i have dust cover ,the garage i had a metal one built to north east codes ,long story short the $5500.00 garage cost me $3100.00,where your at it probley does not need to be as strong ,its 18x20x10 with a 9 foot door ,though i wanted a 24x24 standard ,its nice to have one ,it keeps alot of crap out ,An keeping alot of wax on the car to bead off fast helps too,you should be able to get a nice one for 3k down there as mine need to be able to hold 150 pounds per sq foot of snow,an mine has not seen rain in near 3 years

I can get one for $1700. But I am thinking of just building my own. Nothing fancy. Concrete will be the biggest expense. About $1300
