I have since then collected all my exhaust components...
Recently the Brown Santa has brought me a 2.5" Mandrel tail pipe, a Magnaflow Magnapak, a high flow Magnaflow Cat, and an APN Header.
I am excited about performance when you combine this with the intake and injectors.

With the material being $10+/yard and you need 3 yards and the adhesive at $20/ can and you need at least 2 I decided to use a professional when mine needed done since I didn't want to fight with it all day. Looking back I don't know if it was worth $150 but it's still looking great and has the thick foam sound deadening material.

What did you use to get the chromed part of your turbines so clean?
Pics on page 1 looked like they where being done in white but on page 2 it looked more polished.
My 91 have turbines and they were so bad we almost went black with them but decided to try to clean them first. Started with Brillo pads, a very broad flat head screw driver and naval jelly. Hours spent so far but still a long way to go on the fronts. Your spokes look super clean, love the whole wheel concept in general.

I've got the Rear OME Dual Rate Leaf Springs (CS033RB) rated at 2.75 lift that you are looking at and they sit right at 3.0 inches in the rear with stock shackles after 18k miles of driving. I'm very happy with the OME springs that I got but if you are looking for 4" of lift why not look at (CS033RA) which are rated at 3.5 inches of lift?

I used a multi-step process.
Started with a soft brass wire wheel....then went to a fine grit flap wheel and sanded....then coarse steel wool, followed by fine steel wool. Once all that was done, I used Mothers Mag polish to make them shine....then washed them, painted, and cleared. I think it looks great. So much work I have still only done 1.....lol
Thanks

Wow DO WORK SON!!!!
Looking damn good. Those rims are a thing of beauty now.
Does that header work with the stock downpipe? My header is of coarse cracked so I have been looking for something that bolts into the existing exhaust. The rest is in decent condition.
