    Sounds cool! A cheap way to improve the anchors would be some good Bendix brake pads. For cold air (depending on the setup) you may have to keep the air box and stick a new panel filter in it.

    Cool

    Just try'n to save u afew bucks here !
    Alot of guys race out and get a big exhust and muffler fitted to there n/a 3.0L.........save the money, and use it to buy a K&N panel. Stock exhust system is 2 1/4 inch....dont touch ! Instead of replacing the mufflers, just replace the rear muffler with 2 1/2 inch pipe.! Sounds shit-hot, not too loud, and more money for other stuff.
    For cold air, use 3 inch pipe for a custom job! Straight down through the bottom of the air box, then point it straight towards the bumperbar!

    Good Luck !!!

    K&N will cost about $115 for a panel style.

    The exhust system is stock, except for the missing rear muffler ( after diff ), which has been replaced with pipe.

    Wouldnt know the diference, till u give it a rev, and she burbbles alittle on the way down. Not loud, just nice.!

    thanks ay. im sorry that im a bit of a dead beat haha, so can i do this my self or what? does the rear muffler bolt on or what? do you have to get extra piping and weld it on.

    They were factory rejects, they were still all good, just had the rubber moulding coming in a little tiny bit more then normal.
