    Hey everyone! I'm new here and relatively new to the whole supercharged 3800 business... Shes quick, but i got beat by a new jeep the other day and decided it was time to consider some mods. Ive been looking into what i can do for performance and i can find all kinds of stuff for GTPs and Monte Carlos but NOTHING for Rivieras! Just hoping someone can help me out with places to look or tell what i can make fit! Thanks a lot!

    Everything that fits a GP, Bonneville, Impala, Regal, Park Avenue etc motor/transmission will fit your Riv.

    Only thing you need to consider is if it's a 96, then the trans is a 4T60 instead of a 65. Many headers have clearance issues with where the 96 connector is located.

    Drop a set of drag bags in the rear end and you'll stop having so much weight transfer.

    Thanks guys i checked out that riv website and there is a lot of good stuff on there! And my riv is a 97, so that means no issues with headers? Are the pacesetter ones on wbodystore worth buying?

    you either want the speed daddy knock offs from ebay or a good set from ZZP or Wbody store. I got the knock offs and they need to much fabrication/modification to make them good. They dont seal with the stock clamps (mine didnt want to seal with band clamps), the flex pipe sucks, and theres a ubend that will now be the lowest part of the car unless you get an exhaust shop to fix it. But around here no one can weld stainless so its not gonna happen. If i had to do it over id get ZZP's or Wbodystore's even though they are way more expensive.
