Oh yea, and I removed the hatch wiper blade...it looks so much better...didn't use it anyway...just had to go to lowes to get a 1/4 inch plastic hole plug for .70 cents...was really easy all around to do...well, getting the wiper motor off was a pain in the ass...I think I just kept rotating it and pulling It..but glad I did it

Lol we use ours lol so I can't take it off. (A lot of dirt and washes it a lot). But I bet it looks sweet!

I want to know what else I can do to my car, to incrase performance for around $150 or less?

[jonelledge]

I'd deffeantly do the intake. I have a ram air. Its 30-40 bucks. High flow exhaust. Not sure but I might try looking up sonething on the ignition system. I had a msd on my 350 when I had it. Made a diffrence on that v8 but I'm but I'm not sure on thes 4cylindersor what they make. I knoe there is not much you can do unless yoyr ready to spend money. And yet then it would mainly lead to headers(have to custom order them from another counrty I believe) and you can bore the block over. But I don't think your gonna gain that much. On this motor. Deffeany don't get a computer chip they don't work period lol. But if u don't use the back seat you can remove that to lighten it up a bit. But ots not really worth taking it out. Even though its simple to remove.

I did a cold air intake this weekend and it is awesome.

[jonelledge]

Sweet! Any exhaust?

[Beneficiall]

Nothing name brand, if that's what you mean. I cut the exhaust off at the cat converter and took muffler off completely. I then got some metal tubing and a fart can and brought exhaust out of driver side just before rear tire..I think it looks pretty cool and sounds alright too. Next on the short list is mud flaps..I have material...but I don't want them to look cheap...then again..if I can find a pattern offline...wouldn't hurt for the time being. Yea..I need to find a pattern somewhere.live looked before but was unsuccessful...I guess if I can't find one..I'll buy a uni from autozone and copy it..then return it..

Anyone know how this wrap stuff adheres to the pipe for my cold air set up? I absolutely have no idea..it can't. Be heated to stay on, I wouldn't think because what would hold it in place initially?

Also, I'm trying to take my headrests out..there is another thread that mentions it, but not how to do it...hoping for help

To remove the back headrests, you have to:

1. Unlatch the seat and fold forward.
2. Press the button to release the headrest and pull on it.

Do you mean unlatch as if I was to remove the seats? I'm not sure how to do that..wouldn't I need to disconnect all the cables underneath at least and then also figure out how to unlatch them? Also, if I unlatched it, and folded it forwforward...wouldnt
It face the headrests facing done, thereby not being able to remove them? I do appreciate the info though? Id read another forum post about how to remove them and follwed that method and pulled like an mfer but it was to no avail. Any further information you could provide would be great
