I read the posts in the forum about the exhaust. It was suggested to use Apexi WSII, but it seems that they dont make one for my car. I have difficulty finding an exhaust to fit my car except for the following:
So I have found an RS-R Exmag for $549 (+40 ship), is that a "good" price?
Also on ebay is a Tanabe T4029Z, complete catback system, for $440 +90 ship.

The alternative is to have a relatively stock muffler installed for about $250.

I do NOT want a loud system, but some performance would be nice.

I may also need to rebuild as it is nearing 200k, so I am wondering about staying stock, or building it up some.

Any help, suggestions, or references rebuilding a 92 GSR (1.7L) would be appreciated.
Thanks

yeah, any off-the-shelf catback is going to be around 500-600 bucks.

if a rebuild is around the corner, I would wait on the exhaust.

how do you know you need one? I would check things like oil consumption, cylinder compression, cylinder leakdown, etc and go from there.

RSR ExMag will be the quietest bolt-on cat-back you will find.

I highly recommend a Helms manual if you're thinking about rebuilding. It makes everything easier.

Thank you for the suggestions.
I am judging by oil consumption that she needs a rebuild. It leaks some oil from the gaskets too. Also assuming that since mileage is climbing to 200k I am assuming things like timing belt should be replaced soon.

Does the helms manual have like a list of things you should replace on a rebuild?
I have seen a few rebuild kits (gaskets) on ebay. But will probably need water pump, and timing belt. I am not sure about other things such as valves, head, block.
I mean, since I would have it all torn down shouldn't I just run the gambit?

Where is a good source for the Helms manual?

Anybody been this route? How much might I expect to spend?
Then there is the question: Do I change cam, add header, mods, that kind of thing?


Thanks for the help.

It can be found for less if you search.



Does the Vibrant Axle Back Exhaust packing material blow out?

I like to hear from those who have had this exhaust for a while.
