Im glad to join the group here. I'm from stilwell KS and I have acquired a '96 mystique. Im a young guy, and looking to do some cheap mods. I've already popped in a Xplod system and a few little extras. I'm new to a lot of this stuff, and a little confused. I really want to improve the sound of my exhaust note, and i hear that removing the resonator is cheap and effective. How much difference does it make? I want it to be noticeable, but not sounding like a harley. I also hear that when the engine is not warm, it "rasps". Is this bad at all? I appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

Install of the KKM is a piece of cake. If you were to order one and have it by the 27th, if you can come, we can help/ do it for you in a matter of minutes.
Just let us know so we can have some tools with.
