Have you checked out FWD Performacen or TU? We have many different vendors. It all depends on what you want. I don't know if any of them carry a full exhast system, but they should have all the parts you need. What are your goals?

i am looking to replace rusted out parts(i.e. exhaust) right now.
i am familiar with all our vendors,but nobody sells minivan specific parts.
just didnt know what would fit.
im looking to go mild.
exhaust is 1st and a must.
thanks...ryan

I went down to my local muffler shop and had them hack off my exhaust from the cat-back. I then had them bend up and install 2.5" piping with no muffler exiting in the stock location. People really looked twice when I gassed it. It was also fully legal to run with no muffler, as the turbo acts as a muffler.

FWD makes a mini system but you don't need it. Order up a bunch of mandrel bent 90's and 45's in 2.5 or 3 inch and have the muffler shop put it together. I made mine from scratch and took me a few hours but I took my time. I even built my own 3 inch DP.

Engine parts, same as cars, tranny parts, same as cars. The only difference on vans is the axles are longer and it uses different brakes up to 90, then there the same as cars. What else you need to know?

Also, this is very important, if your going for performance, the gains you get with a car DO NOT equal the same with a van. If you get .5 with a car, figure .2 with a van. Knowing this will save you lots of frustration.
