I just searched on Craigslist.com and what was local to me, and also clicked on the U.S. cities on the right.

If you do get a Cali 85 you can do as Chad did with the Monster Craft pipe. Or look for a intake/exhaust manifold from a 78 or 79 W116 300SD. those 2 years do not have the EGR, and cleans up the look of things w/o capping off things. then w/o the trap you can use a Fed starter w/o being stuck using the Cali $$$ starter. I also use a fed Turbo.

The 85 with a Trap are a dog at higher elevations. after the Trapdectomy they get their balls back.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
