if you want better sound and not have drone or a note that sounds like ****, putting in a different resonator on it will make a difference.

besides and aftermarket muffler, the only thing you could probably get away with is just running a resonator.....like SRT-4's do.

Yeap, we all go through the same thing. Quit school and start working! Haha I'm kidding. Another way to look at it is once something goes, i.e. exhaust rots or you need shocks or springs, replace it as you need it....and get a credit card. Student rates are pretty good haha, that's probably not a good idea either.

Exhausts are very tricky. I've seen way too many friends go through 3 or more setups until they finally say **** it.....my opinion is change the resonator, put on a magnaflow muffler and hope it sounds decent....just my two cents.

dunno what that's all about.....but yeah it usually happens when you want to upgrade or replace on item, you end up having to do another, and another.......
