Just Bought A 2005 Dodge Neon SXT
Hey everyone. I just bought an '05 SXT for $12,000 from Carmax. It only has 16,000 miles on it! It's silver. Anyways, I got a few questions.
1) I assume those are 15-in. wheels? I am looking to buy a set of rims. What would the junkyard pay for my old rims once I get the new ones?
2) What exactly is the purpose of an upgraded exhaust system? How hard are these to install?
3) Does it damage my car when I rev it in P? What about when I'm in N?
4) Does this car have some sort of ultra sound system? The bass sounds so good, I don't even know if I'm going to need to buy those subwoofers.
5) What is the 0-60 on this?
6) How hard would it be to put a bumper on it? Something like http://static.zoovy.com/img/stage3mo...ia_kit_red.jpg (except on the Neon, of course) would look awesome.
7) Any suggestions you have?

RE: Just Bought A 2005 Dodge Neon SXT
I don't know all the answers to your question.. but I know a few
An upgraded exhaust system would increase your car by a few horsepower depending on how much you're modifying your exhaust... ex. catback, header, or just muffler. Also, some of them would give you a deeper rumble depending on the type of exhaust you get. If you upgrade your exhaust, you should upgrade your intake also... otherwise the intake would be restricted no matter how much you modify your exhaust. Some exhaust are bolt on while others require modification such as welding, etc. Unless you're getting a bolt on... otherwise be prepared to spend some money at the muffler store to have them install it. Although it's better to weld everything rather than bolt on.
When your rev in P it won't damage the engine because the ecu would come in when you reaches about 4,000rpm. In N, you could reach the redline and thus yes dont' let it go past the redline.
Um... i didn't think the bass was all that good... I upgraded the rear and front speakers and got a better sounding system from it. I used to have a 300w sub but it was blown... so I just live without one now... and the car's lighter
Putting a bumper on your car isn't that hard. If it's made specifically for the neon (direct bolt on/match) then it's easy... basically 3 screws underneath (inside the fender and a little hard to reach) on each side and some plastic put in clips in the front middle top. If you're just getting the lip kit then you'll need to do some drilling. Good luck on it

His is the mopar lip kit and they are the most popular kit on here and pretty cheap and easy to put on . I can but one for 140 now they are going down where I live comes with front lip and r/t sides and rear bumper and cut outs for a dual exhaust. A nice dual exhaust would be a magnaflow or borla or even a srt exhaust with glasspack. For the sound system I would get 4ways and a amp and a nice headunit.
