I personally wouldn't pay $850 -1000 for an extra 10 hp! Stock Ti's sound mellow until you get in the gas hard and then they have a nice growl. Stealthy...

McTullis,
Mid America and Ecklers Corvettes, to name a few, sell the rear brake ducts in two versions. 1) - a stick-on fake vent, 2) - the real deal which requires cutting.

Yeah, I have to agree with the money vs. Hp on the catback issue. I just can't see it either and I am liking the way the Ti sounds.

I'd look at the LGMs with the stock Ti's. I see you already have the heads, if you didn't I would suggest the AFR 205s. Anyhow, sounds like a nice car. White is cool because it is so rare...

McTullis, The ducts came in and they are not the whole thing. Just the outside scoop. Thought I would let you know, sorry.

Go with the Vara Ram intake.
Go with AFR Mongoose heads.
Don't do the hotchkiss swaybars - Spend a little more and get the larger showroom stock racing sway bars. You can find them at www.ecklers.com
