Every trim piece is gone besides the headliner, door panels, and dash/center counsel. and I'm prolly gonna take the headliner and center counsel out in the spring. the sound deadening is still there tho, I think i'd get too much road noise if i took it out.

and thanks onix, I really love the way my car sounds. part of me wants to ditch the flows since I know there's far better mufflers out there but I'd just miss the sound.

thats about 20lbs of weight in front of ya. you could gut the dash for some hidden weight reduction. also when you remove the headliner there is some insulation stuff thats stuck on the roof you could remove also

Don't worry bro, getting over Flowmasters is easy. I had them once, probably never go back lol.

Everyone has them cause they sound good. Lol. I'd like to change my entire exhaust. Get some long tubes, new midpipe, and either borlas, magnaflows, or corsas. Haven't decided which yet.

I have no idea with this newer tune. It was 339 before and it feels like it pulls a lot better now so I guess around 370 or so. When I get everything for my car all on and get a better dyno tune I'll be sure to post numbers. I've just got a mail order one right now.

I have Magnaflows and love them. They flow much better than the Flowmasters. I have the whole 2.5" cat-back system. PM me when you are ready and I'll give you a link to a place with great prices on the stuff.

I will be using BFG drag radials when I replace my rear tires.
