Thats a good shot of the cat 3" pipe.
It looks very similar to the cat & 3" pipe that was on my 95 VIN W CPI, except mine was slightly different bends for AWD.
I can say that it is a LOT bigger than the same parts from my 87 TBI VIN Z vans.

Thanks for the photos and videos. I'm going to crawl under mine and have another look-see.

Re: 200hp V6
Welcome maestro. Just showing what yours would sound like in various stages of build.
Doyoulikeitthere. See My van just a oddball. It is huge exhaust compared to the 90 van which was parts correct engine and exhaust. Otherwise it was a identical color and interior van. I used it to fix my last total. The one before this one I fixing now. I was new to vans way back and really confused why mine had all this stuff it shouldn't. But it does and I am very grateful somebody on the line did it.

That exhaust is correct for your year 1994.
Nothing odd at all.

Re: 200hp V6
As for why the HP numbers dropped off while using the same basic parts, I can only notice that it pretty much came around with OBDII Managment.LiftedAWDAstro wrote:I just have to. Sorry but your 94 does not have a 97 subframe unless it was swapped out. If your mom bought it new in 94 how did it get a 97 frame? There are differences as well such as you have a linkage from the shifter coming through the firewall to the tranny and your ABS module is mounted near the battery. On a 97 neither of these is true.chevymaher wrote:My frame is the same as a 97
Wow Dean, That ChevyMaher never ceases to amaze me with his (lol) well educated input, based on facts and proof..
Bye the way people, don't try to prove him wrong , over on "that other site" or he will cry like a baby, delete your proof from the board, and boot you off the site.
I just found out first hand. =D>
