Getting new exhaust have questions March 22, 2009, 09:27:22 PM I have a 88 TC and looking to get a new exhaust but have a few questions. Is there any power gain over a single to duel exhaust on the 2.3 turbos? I would like to stick with duels but if I can can a few more hp I will go with a single. I plain on getting a full Stinger system.Thanks,Craig Quote Selected

Took 5 hours for the exhaust guy to tuck it and fit it properly. Quote Selected
