I'd totally enter this into the 24 hours of Lemons....
Plus it'd be a fun little car to just thrash at the edge of redline, working those 40 horses for all their worth

Put a VTAK in that *****!
You should, if you got enough money, to maybe to a nice engine swap or build that engine up. Would be like a really nice restore type of thing imo. |

yea maybe,but im a "fast car" guy and this just doesnt cut it.But i dont have a job yet so this will have to do for now.
And a few problems with doing a swap is that the engine bay is small and there is also money,but i just dont think that this car is worth it.

No offense but that muffler is going to sounds like crap, and probably look worse.
Is that all your doing is a muffler? You're going to see no horsepower advantages with just that, you need to do a full exhaust. Header, slightly bigger piping all the way to the muffler, and I wouldn't use that thing. It's your car, do what you want.. but trust me, that muffler will gain you nothing other than the sounds of a thousand ****ed off weed wackers. |

well what would you suggest????? a broken muffler or the new one???
and there are no full exhaust mods for this car.The car is getting new spark plugs,spark plug wires,air filter,etc. And if it is obnoxiously loud then i can always sell it.

Well you can always do it the hard way. Which is do a custom exhaust. For example, custom headers and bigger piping and then you can get a MUCH better aftermarket exhaust. Cherrybomb, Magnaflow...

learn to weld on this thing. if you mess up, you'll know it was just a freebie.
i think a custom exhaust would be cool. if you know how, and you make it, then you might be able to bump it to 150 horses.
