I would say go for the mid pipe, but get ones with high flow cats on it. My friends 99 has off-road midpipe and it sounds like hes got an exhaust leak at low rpm.

depends what u want... if u get the shift kit... you will LOVE shifting... its so much more fun and makes driving your car much more enjoyable, as if its not already a blast to drive... now a midpipe will give u noticable power and ull love that too, either way youre a winner... just depends... are u happy with the power of your car at the moment... if so get the shift kit and get the midpipe next, if u feel u dont have enough power right now, get the mid pipe and then get the short shift kit next... your call

Go on ebay, you might be able to get both for $200. I got my tri-axe for $80, not sure what mid-pipes are going for....

I'd love to see where you can get a catted mid-pipe under 200 Krafty. Ain'tgonnahappen.


Anyways, get the shifter. If you drive like me and like missing 3rd gear, you'll be glad you spent the money on the shifter rather than your exhaust.

yea thats what i was going to say...most midpipes are around almost $400 now its kind of ridiculous how adding 2 cats to a pipe cost like $200 more then a regular one.
