Ok, so yesterday I went to a local exahust shop to ask if they could bend me some 3" tubing for my intake... turns out that that pipe is waay to hard to work with, would be to expensive to do..
Ok, well we then got talking about the exahust... I told him my idea of taking out the resonator and muffler, and putting a single in, dual out muffler where the original one was [sideways in the middle]
He told me that he couldnt really do that, because he couldnt see how to route the 2nd pipe. we talked a little more and he came up with this idea:
keep the resonator [turbo style muffler on end] and replace the muffler [in the middle] with a glass pack. 1 - this is CA smog legal 2 - this only costs about $90 3 - he claims it will give me 7-12 horse and 2-3 mpg... take away the BS factor, and its prob 4-6 horse, and 1-2mpg... but still... for $90!
I think i will do this... it will give it a very cool sound, hopefully scaled down version of a muscle car... also it keeps the stock look [the resonator stays] so sleeper status is kept!!
Ok guys.. opinions? should I? stupid idea?
It sounds like a pretty cool deal if you ask me. for $90 how can i go wrong?
