after a few days of thinking, i decided to go with my next mod...20% tint all the way around. after thats done im thinking a new muffler and an AEM short ram intake. any pointers as to why i should or shouldnt purchase these mods.?

tint isnt really a "mod" imho...but its good to have in the summer

what size diameter piping are you going to go with on the exhaust? Goin custom piping I assume?

i havent decided on the diameter of piping yet. i was gonna talk to my buddy and see what he did. i prolly wont put a new muffler on til after the winter due to lack of money.

you keep saying "muffler" I do hope that youre just saying that and meaning full catback exhaust. Just a muffler is totally pointless

nah i mean muffler. dont have the dough for a full cat back. prolly should save and get the whole shibang.

*pdiggitydogg* · 09-29-2003, 12:35 PM

yes...save for the "whole shibang". Custom piping from a decent shop (NOT midas/mineke/tuffy/etc) would only run you a couple hundred.

online shop that does piping for cheap, several sizes and materials for the pickings, good quality as well...just need a muffler, which they also sell. Id do them before I ever thought about goin to midas

cool. thanks for talkin to me about it, i'll look into the custom. thats all custom for the whole system?

*pdiggitydogg* · 09-29-2003, 02:29 PM

right, catback custom.

I would seriously invest in a resonator for it as well. That typical "fart" or "buzz" sound that you hear from lots of exhausts comes from not having a resonator and/or cat converter. though resonators do cost more money (what doesnt?) they're a worth-while investment for the daily driven vehicle.

whats the difference between Resonator and a resonator tip?

plus what exactly do they do?

cost is pretty high for something i know nothing on.

thanks ben

resonator is just what it sounds like...its a resonance tube within the exhaust bpipe. Makes exhausts mellow and smooth sounding rather than annoying and buzzy

resonator tips...well thats the same thing, but at the end of the muffler (oval/stock style usually)
