Starting to get EXCITED!!!

[Hambone85GT]

Hey guys, I will be going to pick up my 85 gt in a couple of weeks and i want to start making a list of some mods to look for for it. Now i have noticed that most sites i have been looking at mostly show parts for 87 and up, not so much for the 85-86.... All I'm planning on doing to this car is maybe 3.73 gears, a cam and exhaust and headers. If anyone has any ideas for me or suggestions that would be great!

If it's still stock exhaust, grab a 86+ double hump crossmember and convert to true dual ezhaust.

You'll need headers, h-pipe, cat back and misc hangers.

if you're looking for gears, you'll need to look at 7.5" gears, or swap rear ends

how hard are those crossmembers to find?

 

[Hambone85GT]

I found a crossmember, is that all i need to do the conversion to true dual, as long as i buy a exhaust for an 86gt? Sorry guys still pretty new to this whole thing...

yeah, you just need the crossmember and of course the midpipe to do the conversion. swap out the 7.5" rear for an 8.8" also.

so will this eliminate my cats? or do i need another? Also do i need to worry about mixing brands between headers and h-pipe? I did find a flowmaster catback system that i was going to put on my 90 lx, but that probly wouldn't work on my car right? jsut buy headers, H-pipe, crossmember, and tips? Sorry guys but i need this spelt out i'm not too bright.

the cat back will work then you'll just need to find a mid pip such as an off-road hpipe, catted h-pipe, x-pipe...ect.

itll make alot more sense once you get under the car
