need ideas

well if its as annoying as you say, im not to sure. would u be able to snap a pic or two of it? and i take it its louder than stock? ill see how my next pay check is and tell you if i will buy it or not, if not.. maybe you'll still have it in 2 weeks?

im thinking of getting my cat cut out and doing the custom intake to get some hp increase.. along with a muffler. im almost thinking i want a quiet muffler.

heh, if you want quiet this muffler is not for you...personally I love the deep low rumble of it. its just in a certain rpm range at a particular throttle opening its just TOO loud. Like I said, Im too old (42) for that kind of noise. Its not like Im some tuner kid trying to attract attention. I bought it for the free flow nature of it...not realizing just how loud that free flow would be. lol

yeah I'll try to snap some pics of it this week, but I got alot on my plate right now. Gotta get my targa bar done before Saturday, then cruising to Portland for a meet, and I just grabbed a parts car off Ebay for 25 bucks (yeah, you read that right) that I will need to get up here to Corvallis, and I got a guy coming over to possibly take my 88 turbo shell off me. Might be a week before I can ge back to ya on that.

So of the mods I mentioned in the OP, has anyone had any experience with those? Im particularly interested in what a 1 piece driveshaft would do for me.

well if it has a low rumble to it, im in

because i really hate that really high pitch noise from those "fart cans" like.. cherry bombs and such, any idea if i could find a sound clip of it? if you want to hold it, ill buy it in two weeks.

I'll try to get a sound clip made up of it, I have a digital video cam I can use.

ive read you arent really looking for performance, so id have to say... not really sure, most the things i wanna do to mine is performance... how about shaved door handles? light weight flywheel? lighter rims? im not so sure those are undre 200 but thats i can think of.

if you didnt care what kind of mod id say tackle the whole exhaust w/ headers and dp. you could also take out all the unnecassary things in the engine bay: charcaol canister, emissions, etcs. can also replace all the hoses and gas lines, how about new brake lines?
