Question guys, and this is just a fun one.....
Which would I get more power from?
A TBICHIPS.com chip for my car
OR
A new muffler, yes, just a new muffler. Dynomax, flowmaster, something.
Just curious guys, got some extra cash,
thanks for the input,
Dylan.  _________________

If you still have LO3 exhaust manifolds the mufler may not help. Will sound better though. I can't say with the chip though, I'm just a redneck with a carburated car.  |

Chips not burned for your car = a shot in the dark...
Save a wee bit more for some headers... |

I agreed 100% with Ian.
Get Headers, and a Catback on that LO3. Forget the chip. |

no point in doing ANYTHING to a prom unless it is being done to your prom specifically (exeption= a factory prom update... it happens)
headers for sure.... then if you do more mods later you will see better gains since your engine won't have a quark in it's ass anymore....
QUESTION: would it have realy cost gm that much to add an axtra 6" of steel and make a "Y" pipe instead of a "T" pipe.
ANSWER: irrelivent, cost overwrites performance; as well as:
vehicle integrity (if they did there job in the first palce there would be no aftermarket for SFCs)
treating our employees right (they don't even get a discount anymore)
servicing our allready existing customers (charging $50 for a factory invoice, refusing to perform SAFTEY recalls)
design (T-Tops.)
common sense (2004R behind a 350HP TTA ?!?)
GM sucks... no wonder they are going down the drain....
wow.. i need to get off of my soapbox.... put the rant down and back away...  _________________ 86' firebird (Junked in 2015). 88' GTA (sold in 2020).
