Do away with catalytic converter if you still have it on vehicle,i know its illegal but its cheapest and fastest way to gain horse power with mufflers you have.Just have to find a shop willing to cut it off for you lol

most shops wont. you could always cut it off yourself and then have a shop weld in a straight pipe?

but on these cars the Cat isnt that restrictive. and if you dont have a programer to tune out the rear O2 code you will be dealing with an SES light all the time... also if you have emissions this wont work either.

it has been said the stock 2.25" exhaust can support up to 300 HP to the ground. if your NA there is gain to be had with a well designed system... deff nothing bigger then 2.5"

the best bang for buck would be like said remove the Ubend and maybe buy a new down pipe from ZZPerformance.com wbodystore.com 3800performance.com intense-racing.com any one of these will have it if you have the 3800. if you dont have a 3800 your options are limited as is the ease of getting more power.


by the way... the radar always gets a false alarm at that intersection. walgreens doors trip it. but the police radar is a diff band and has a diff tone... but my autobot does fight with the decepticon S10 in my parking lot on occasion.
