Im here to help anyway I can sorry I could not help over on your thread about stock springs with new struts. 22 had to ruin that so just ignore 22 and ones like him. Just make sure they are in good condtion if you reuse your stock springs.

lol, it's all good. He makes me laugh more than he makes me angry. I'm reusing the stock springs, but only because I'm on a budget. Thanks again for all your input. =]

Just besure to check to see how good they are 1st before putting on your new struts is all Im trying to say other than that if they are ok and not rusted or wore out at all than you should be good for yrs.

Thanks for the welcoming. Basically I want to squeeze some more power out of the stock motor. Nothing too crazy, just looking for more performance. I bought the car a little over a month ago and it came with a 3 year warranty (surprisingly) so I will probably do a motor swap once that expires.

What performance parts would you suggest? As of right now I only have a K&N filter and Megan racing springs.

If you have warrenty you should wait until that expires must have very low miles on yours. Anything you do engine wise might ruin the warrenty and you really dont want to do that so I would suggest waiting . I did not do engine mods until just last yr. When I got my sxt new back in 04 all I did was a drop in k&n like you have and a r/t exhaust. Yu should look into doing an exhaust for now.

Ok I was thinking that as well. I bought it with 69k on it and the dealership wanted to give me a warranty on it so I wasn't going to compain.

As far as exhaust goes I wanted to be my next mod. Do you have any suggestions on a good exhaust system? I want it to sound more on the deeper side and have dual exit because I like the look. I've heard mixed things about exhaust all over the internet so I figured i'd ask you since you have the same model

Well theres the r/t exhaust which gives a deep sound and not loud and theres the srt stock exhaust which is cheaper than any to get and theres the magnaflow all dual.

How much would the r/t cost me and where could I acquire one? I'll probably have to get it off of someone used right?
