Default 2001 Pearl White Dodge Stratus Coupe

Since the Coupes are lacking love in the member's rides area, I figured I'd post up!

Like stated in the title, its a 2001 Dodge Stratus Coupe SE, Pearl white in color.
Its a 4 cyl 5 spd. Since its the coupe, it has the Mitsubishi chassis and powerplant.
I bought it in May 2006, so I have had it just over 3 years, and I still love it. It has come quite a way since then, check it out:

Sure is! I visited my parents last Thanksgiving (They live in Irwin) and met up with a fellow 2g member.

This is when I was working on making the pipe: This is without a muffler or pipe at all.

For a 4cyl, it sounds pretty good, and really isnt very loud. I still have the catalytic converters and resonators in place

im not familiar witht he 4 cyl exhaust setup. in this video, how close to the engine are you without piping? do you essentially just have straight pipes now?

i have a y-pipe, then a long resonated mid pipe, then a rear section that includes the muffler. if i remove my rear section, the car is quieter than it is with the rear section...

All I did was remove the muffler. Right at the rear axle there is a flange, and I unbolted it, and put my straight pipe on.

This is one for the V6 a 2g'r did, and mine looks identical.

I paid like $35 for the piping, made a flange for free with the help of a coworker, and got the tip for free.

Default Springs

Hey I have an 02 Stratus Coupe SE 4cyl, do you know what the part number is for the Eibach Sportline Springs you used? I was trying to find some that would fit my car but the website said that the Eibachs were made for the 6cyl coupe. Did you have to do any modifications to make them fit your car? Thanks.
