A 91 what? Z24? VL? RS? What engine? There is a sticky titled "Where to find mods, please read before asking".

edit- I just read your other post, so its a 3.1

Off hand- there are several places to get gauges. Theres only one "short shifter" out there, but its not actually shorter, and its from a crap company. There is only one set of headers out there, made by the same crap company who makes the shifter, and the cost greatly outweighs the benefits.

you can get some performance things from here--> http://mrzperformance.vstore.ca/index.php/cPath/55_10 also if your wanting to make a short shifter just remove it from the vehicle and get it cut down,i can find you a how-to on the short shifter.Also for the white face gauges try www.blackcatcustom.com they make them for cavaliers.For your header you have to get it custom made, their is a guy on www.v6z24.com his user-name is six_shooter and I was told he makes headers for 2nd gen cavys.For the cat-back well what exactly are you wanting? bigger piping for more flow and a single or dual tip muffler or did you want the dual exhaust setup,like 1 muffler on the left side and 1 muffler on the right side of the car??

you will probably have to get it custom made.And what kind of muffler where you planning on getting?

Make friends with a GOOD (I stress good) local Midas/Meineke/Muffler shop and they can do wonders. The local Meineke (franchised owner-operated) made a custom dual exhaust system for the car. Cut out a section of the right side rear bumper so each side exits two tips for a total of four tips. We used a VX muffler by Goerlich's since the Flowmaster patent expired you can get generic equivalents for reasonable money. You won't need a high end or high flow muffler since most of those are designed to work optimally with V8s. Something with a nice rumble though not too loud.

well he said it is about a 5-10hp gain and 6-10 torque gain.I can't really remember how much he had told me but its something close to that.Your better off to send him a pm and ask him tho.Cause i could be wrong

The factory tubing diameter is 2 1/4", so you're going to want 2 1/2", unless you just want a mandrel bent 2 1/4", which would probably flow more then the 2 1/2" crush bent.
