Default dohc w/ sohc muffler?

so i go to school in SF 4 days a week then i go home

and i have already seen quite a few neons with DOHC engines with the SOHC muffler

i saw one in my town last weekend or hte weekend before

whats up with that?

did dodge/chrysler rip power out of some of the DOHC neons?

ive seen quite a few neons you would think SHOULD be DOHC, power buldge hood sport coupe, with a SOHC motor
or just exhaust shops putting cheap mufflers on cuz they see neon and dont know theres a difference

Remember the neons that got the free upgrade to a DOHC engine...I don't know if they also got the DOHC muffler as well. So maybe that's it.

they all have the DOHC hoods

they might have SOHC in them with the hood but i see that as a waste...


i want a free DOHC

but then i wouldnt have matching tq and hp
and wouldnt be able to build it up cheaper

dohc doesnt cost that horribly much more to build then a sohc....depending on what your planning on building
