I'm looking tp try to squeeze a few extra miles out of every gallon of over-priced gasoline I put into my car. And from reading a few posts the boards and talking to a few members at the Tail of the Dragon 2005 meet ( :D which I was the only automatic representing there this year :D ) , I'm think exaust and intake will be the better first step to take. Any suggestion obn type of exaust to get? I don't want one the will make ear drums bleed and something fairly easy to install, maybe even a self install option. The intake I want to go for is the Racing Beat intake with the cold air ram add on. I saw one on a MT and it was a very clean look to it and he did claim a few extra city mpg on his.

why not go with racing beat exhaust.... seems pretty nice... not too loud but loud enough to hear it.
just learned its about 10 lbs heavier than stock though

Wink Try Racing Beat REVi and Cold Air Duct

I installed both Racing Beat's REVi intake and their cold air duct 3 weeks ago. Charlie at Mazcare in Atlanta did the install. I haven't had a chance to check the mileage as I was rear ended and the car is in th eshop.

However, I really enoy the combination of a slight mid range performance boost and the sound (only noticeable when accelerating). I'm also adding the Racing Beat exhaust. I'll post in a coupole of weeks when I get my car back!
