UHHH....is this a BAD thing, or a ''good'' thing?

[madking411]

well, yeah.....thats why im tryin to be really careful about what i buy from the generalstores...ESPECIALLY because of the car i have too, it seems like when anybody talks about modding them THE FIRST thing they think of is puttin on one of those super-bulky, overdone body kits with the giant wing on the back, and then installin those 50 inch subs in the back, and then puttin strobes and neons allllllll over the car....Yep....its the Pontiac Sunfire/Chevy Cavalier. I'm tryin to stay as far away from THOSE kinds of mods as i can.

^^ Yet you are putting on tacky bolt on foglights and a universal muffler. The panel filter is the only intelligent thing you're putting on your car. The muffler is pretty useless without larger piping flowing through it.

I'm not to sure what you can do for performance on those cars but look into headers and chips, not a Pepboys muffler. Your car wont be that fast even after intake, header, exhaust, and a chip so you might want to focus on some handling or braking.

After many commments i finally see a good one.. .the rest are fucking ricer comments. +1 for you... and HIDs are illegal my ass..

You miss the point WA, HIDs are not illegal to be used if they are used in HID equipped headlights, or properly use. But they are illegal to be used in headlights that are not designed to be used for HIDs, like halogen headlights. This topic has been covered so many times already in other forums like HIDPLANET.COM. Halogen headlight reflectors are designed to scatter a lot of light because halogen is weak. But when you put HID in halogen headlights and HIDs are much much stronger than standard halogen, guess what will happen? The result is a ton of glares with no cut off. That is why most HID equipped headlights come with either projectors or the HID reflectors with sharp cut off to limit where the light can go. The cut offs usually look like this ___/---- ___/----. It limits the light from going beyond the horizontal cut off line and left side for incoming traffic. Any how the hell my advice telling him to do retrofit is a fucking ricer comment? You are an ignorant! And why do you think so many people nowaday do retrofit even tho retrofit costs them 5 or 6 times more than just a regular HID kit into stock headlight (~$600 vs $150)?

People should learn more about HIDs so they could properly use them!

well, im not gonna get the lights....i changed my mind...im gonna get the strut tower bar....And, plus, my car has an auto trans, so i can't pump TOO much power into it, or i'll blow it...Also, the shop that installed the muffler also told me that i have a small leak in the cast-iron headers where it meets the downpipe...I was thinkin about gettin em to weld me a set of custom headers, a set that matches the size of the larger muffler...(2.25")I was wonderin, about how much will that *cost? It should be less than the name-brand headers that cost hundreds of dollars right?

*If anyone knows the shop, MagicMufflers, thats the shop where im planning to have all the work done....just tryin to see if i could get a better estimate if anyone on here has had work done there before, and has a good idea of the possible price...

And, there's plenty of performance upgrades for the sunfire...just depends where you look online...

edit: Oh, and i installed the universal muffler because i knew it wasn't going to be TOO loud and because it looks stock....if i wanted some extra noise, and pay about 5 times more, i woulda just gotten a dragger-style muffler...
but whatever...i guess i'll hafta get one of THOSE later on, huh?

Magic Muffler near Nopi on Buford Hwy? Me and my friends got things done a lot of times there. They did good job for fairly cheap. Whatever you need to be done, talk to the owner at the counter, he will take care everything.

yep, thats the place . The owner knows me WELL...i've been talkin to him for years, but before i always wanted him to weld up for me custom mini-motorbike frames, but he didn't want to...I figured I owe it to him, after buggin him for YEARS to build minibike frames, to give him some real business by gettin my CAR's exhaust system built there....
