I'd be willing to bet the stock exhaust mitigates any gains the ypipe and headers provide.

It's not going anywhere any time soon, that for sale add was placed out of spite...i won't get what i want for the car so it's not leaving the stable....
But a 12 sec festiva will be in the works in a couple months. Total cost on the project will be around 2k.
12.7

Seeing as no one has gotten a Contour into the 12s for $2000, I say go for it. It's a good way to learn a lot and have fun and it's still cost effective. How is that silly or in poor taste?
Find me a Festiva (or a Neon) that runs 12.7 for $2000, and after a couple runs, heck yeah, that might grow on me.

The lower down the automotive food chain you go, the greater the fast car is. A fast festiva poopbox is awesome. An even faster geo metro is more than amazing.
I would love a 12 sec festiva! Somebody build me one.
