Default 318 dress up 89' w100

I'd like to dress up the 318 in my ram

thinking on going with a elderbrock intake but, should I wait till the truck is a classic and for go the egr option?

I also want to replace the exhaust manifolds whats a good source for that? it will need a 02 sensor. the ones i have now are all rusty.

i dont know how your local laws work, but mine just got changed so that cars can no longer "outlive" thier emissions days. anything newer than 88 MUST pass a test no matter how far into the future. buggers.

anyhow, do yea mean blocking off the egr or doing some fancy reroute? i think that edelbrock intake will give you more juice.

Comparing store brand headers from both,Jegs look like a better quality for the money.

I am contemplating pulling off my stock exhaust manifold and hitting it with some hi temp paint. Give it a fresh look without breaking the bank.

I agree. You can get headers for under $110 and it will sound better
