Hey now 150 horses is more than enough to get in some trouble. It's not so much the horsepower, but the 260 lb-ft that gets ya.

Looks like you have a good lookin car and it's in good shape.
In your cardomain it says you want to get a set of steelies. Are you talkin about a 16" set from a 98-02 Vic so you can upgrade to 98+ front brakes? If not, then I think you should just clean the turbines and keep them since they look great on the car, but you can do whatever you want it's your car.
And about upgrading to dual exhaust, you definetly want to do that. I remember how poorly the stock single exhaust flowed on my old 88. If you're gonna keep the engine stock, the factory 2" system is fine and you can get the parts from a junkyard or order them from a company like Walker. If you plan on modding the engine like doing a HO conversion, you'll want a 2.25" or 2.5" system.
Good luck with everything and have fun with your car. You won't regret buying it.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)
