Hey couple questions, did you notice any improvement from the SRI mod that F20A recommended? I've got the exact same one and am wondering whether I should try shortening it.

Also did you install that ebay headerback system? Did you have any difficulties with it? I am also just starting out and am trying to get a gauge on how difficult it would be lol, thanks!

[Timothy Watson]

Yea it definitely helped I would do it again in a heartbeat, plus look at how much better it made the engine bay look. Also, yea me and a buddy did most of the exhaust when it was raining at night... (I couldn't wait to get started, and he is a truly great friend.) It's not to bad, but the few things I've run into, is
1. Ebay exhaust comes with a test pipe (no cat) Really need a cat...
2. one pipe the s-shaped one was a bit to long take it to a shop when you get it on, and let them shorten what needs to be shortened (It'll be a lot neater)
3. Cheap Ebay exhaust will always have that annoying Coffee can on crack sound

My suggestion is to have a muffler shop fab up a 2.5" cat-back with a decent muffler. I've gotten mine to sound decent but would have been a lot less of a headache, and a lot less money if I had done it this way to begin with. And you can still always upgrade from there later...

Side note-I see your from VA anywhere close to Harrisonburg?

Sweet, I'll try that SRI mod. Thanks for the advice, if I can get the funds together I'm hoping to get the DC Sports header which doesn't have the built in "test pipe".

Yeah, I'm in Fairfax, couple hours or so.

Thanks again!

nice start there tim, and welcome to the site! Not sure if you have done it or not, but one thing i would suggest, is just some basic maintenance such as new timing belt, plugs, wires, and, if the wallet allows, water pump and oil pump. You'll free up some power and help the longevity of your engine as well. hope you enjoy it sir

Glad I can help a friend

[Timothy Watson]

Thank you WVcb7, It has new distributor cap, rotor button, spark plugs and wires. planning timing belt, and water pump soon. Along with oil pan gasket (it needs it, right now 1st priority) Just replaced rear wheel cylinders today bleed all brakes, it helped it alot though I still need new rotors, pads, drums, and shoes (also soon.)

And F20A thank you for the idea it is working so well.

To all other thank you, and I'll keep updating.

If you can/want.. try and clean the bay up. I can tell lookin in the pics its dusty. A pressure can work just for the surface, but don't b afraid to use a wet rag... idk sir tim, if u r a cb fan or its just a car to you... if you are passionate about the car, she will b a happy car!

May sound funny but u will feel it if she's happy or not.yyyyyyyyyyy well I'm a cb fan I love them.

When you clean it. Just don't clean it to get the dirt off. Clean it and make sweat love to it. Cb7's love that affection!

He's working on making CB Kids. LMAO. Huh! Uh! Oh! Yeah!!! It's in!. Lol.

2nd Cb on its way.

I got another cb7. Im going to have pictures soon, but it's a 92 as well really cool color too. This one is a manual (has a few transmission problems), the body and interior or fairly clean... I got it for $320. I'm a bit disappointed though, it threw the timing belt during my second day of ownership.
