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

Not yet, funding for upgrades has been cut off so i used the parts i already bought for a quasi-dual system. I'm having issues with the car that i want to get sorted out before i put any more money into it....

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.
