Can I get a performance chip for my 93 Shadow? my guesses are no LOL, but I thought I'd ask. And do you guys know of any exhaust kits for Shadows, like that come with muffler, piping and all that good stuff, maybe Borla or Magnaflow? thanks.

convert to a turbo motor and you have all the performance you ever wanted.

You could buy turbo exhaust system and modify the end to bolt on to your exhaust housing.

Jegs and Summit Racing sell a bolt on muffler and intermediate pipe for the Shadow, thats what i got on my Shadow. It only set me back about 100 bucks (thats including shipping). Summit Racing Exhaust and the Jegs Exhaust

And also you can make your own "Ram Air" just go here.

I currently un-turboing my sundance. I need a car that gets better mpg. I will have 2 other cars that will feed the need for speed like my 360 arrow and my mid 13s charger. Currently is a 2.5 turbo with an auto. It got a intercooler in the front and garret turbo instead of the stock mistubushi turbo.

The stock air box in a rescriction in the system.
So you can put a vent or hood scoop and run this setup.

Well if you went with Speedy's intake it would definantly get rid of the restriction, but if you didnt make a scoop or something like that you would only be sucking hot air. But with the Ram Air and you get rid of the all the restrictive stuff in the airbox it would be a pretty good power gain also. But if you went with Speedy's design you would also have to vent the crankcase with a filter.

Which would be bad since you not sucking in oil vapor into it. Just run two filter from the ricer section of parts store. My hood got a stock vent from my charger that had laying around and I just cut it in. I should take some photos of how I did it. As for the filter box mod. The top is the orignal and the bottom I just cut the area around the base to be a little bigger than the filter threw some paint on it and use the stock hold downs. I had my turboed since Jan. of this year. Going back to stock. Btw the intake show been ported and have two gasket for a spacer. Also going to run the 2.5 trottle body on a 2.2 just incase the injectors are bigger than the one that in there or not I don't it is.

You can kinda see it in this photo of the vent.

Christmas is comeing up, so I'am gonna tell the parents about some stuff I want. Things I could think of are new fog lamps, I need one more winter tire, I got the other 3 for free!! brand new too (thats the good thing about a friend who works at Canadian Tire) and a K&N drop in filter, just wondering about that, which is better? drop in? or cone??. Also just hinted around about maybe getting some speakers to replace the stock ones, and I need a new mic for my cb LOL.

Any other ideas about what I should suggest? I want some more stuff to dress her up a bit better mainly. Oh, and I was thinking of getting some clear front signal light lenses.
