Re: TAP Mods for URQ

[Robert Parker <parker.robert@towerautomotive.com>]

Joel,

I have an 84 URQ which is in need of an exahust system... What of the
original exaust do you have...  I know I need at least from the cat back
including the rear muffler on back...

Q1.  Is it an original or replacment on your car?  What year etc...

Listers... Is it better to use aftermarket exhaust system's, junk yard
salvage old ones, or pay the big bucks for an original...  My car is all
original, but in need of a lot of work at this point...

Thanks,


Robert Parker
