Personally, I dont know why I got it. Saw it on a mustang and kind of got attached! I cannot picture my car without one, but thats just me. Some cars just look terrible with them. Mine might look terrible to someone else......but its not their car. ------------------ Nick Jones http://www.angelfire.com/sk2/saturn361998 'tour gl Mods: Aesthetic: White racing stripe reflectors taken out blue bulbs everywhere no badges limo tint on all five windows Performance: KKM Intake Duel 2 1/4" cat-back exhaust new res superchip (on the way) 17" DTM white on Dunlop sports Stereo: Sony mobile deck 12" Fosgate 800W amp all speakers in doors replaced Future Mods: Zetec turbocharger White face gauges

i can't imagine a viper without them  nick, i'm sorry, but that is one of the biggest ricer's i've ever seen. but i won't critique your car, because i'm sure somebody could ***** about my car too once i modify it (and once i own it).

Yeah, my car does not look like that now, I will take some newer pic's and post them. IT'S NOT A RICER I SWARE!! Anyways, I was being sponsored by a company over here and my theory is, if they will pay for all my mods, I will put whatever ugly stickers they want on there as long as it helps my car go faster (the mods not the stickers hehehe) Hey Terry, it actually adds about 7.287 hp!! No torque though, because I didnt connect it to my nitrous (just kidding) See-ya ------------------ Nick Jones http://www.angelfire.com/sk2/saturn361998 'tour gl Mods: Aesthetic: White racing stripe reflectors taken out blue bulbs everywhere no badges limo tint on all five windows Performance: KKM Intake Duel 2 1/4" cat-back exhaust new res superchip (on the way) 17" DTM white on Dunlop sports Stereo: Sony mobile deck 12" Fosgate 800W amp all speakers in doors replaced Future Mods: Zetec turbocharger White face gauges

OH MY GOD.....SORRY. It's excellent, the sound is great, loss of backpressure.....not a lot. As far as mpg goes, I used to get about 320 for the whole tank, no its about 314 on average. But everything else works good on the exhaust. I didnt go with a name brand mufflers either...Borla, etc. Just got custom 2.25" piping and thermal exhausts, and Motorsport Dynamics did the rest. I will try and post some sounds on my site as soon as possible, if you want to hear them now just email me at - saturn_k1@hotmail.com ------------------ Nick Jones http://www.angelfire.com/sk2/saturn36 1998 'tour gl Mods: Aesthetic: White racing stripe reflectors taken out blue bulbs everywhere no badges limo tint on all five windows Performance: KKM Intake Duel 2 1/4" cat-back exhaust new res superchip (on the way) 17" DTM white on Dunlop sports Stereo: Sony mobile deck 12" Fosgate 800W amp all speakers in doors replaced Future Mods: Zetec turbocharger White face gauges "LOVE, PEACE AND CHICKEN GREASE!"
