for the intake, 91-95 legends will fit. order according to tcs / non-tcs. Exhaust has to be custom.

Most likely that's for the non-TCS models.

Remember, you gotta pay to play. If you can't, this isn't the game for you.

i no i gotta pay to play but im just looking for resonable price im not rich.

and mine is a the non tcs so that would fit them and would that even be good on my car would i notice the improve ment and i got some seafoam today and im wanting to do that today how much of a improve ment does it really make
my tl is 97 and has 215k on it but i just has a oil leak out of the seal on the pan. and the fog lights keep turning on and off on there own.

what would be the best mods to start out on that wont hurt my pocket that much. for i can get started.

a cat back won't yield much gains in performance, you will get some more sound. but $250 for it isnt bad including all parts and labor. Are you from norcal? You used hella in your original post.

magnaflow only makes 2.25 in. inlets for mufflers if I'm not mistaken. The proven highest overall gain would be 2.5 in. inlet. I would suggest looking for something with 2.5 inlet. Check out dynamax. They're reasonably priced and are deep.

Legend exhausts can be modded to fit if you have a good shop to help you.

You need to get a coolant flush, our engines do run hot and a lot of owners neglect doing this.

Also, make sure the engine fans are working. They'll probably stay on for 10 or 15 minutes after you shut off the engine, this is normal.

I've been getting 30+ MPG, doing 80-120 around SoCal. Ease onto the throttle and you'll see improvement.

Take everything out for the intake and you should see a 3-5 mpg increase with the intake over time.

For the wheels, look for s2000 wheels, prelude wheels, 2G type-s wheels, or 3G wheels.
