        • NO MEANS FOR THREAD JACKING!!! just a quick question
          what you think about a Stock SaturnSky Redline exhaust on my SL2?
          would it make a Difference? it 2.5" piping. im looking more for a Deep hollow sound.
          i only ask about the sky exhaust because i have one here laying around.i figured youd know since you look like you know what your doing with your saturn.....thought id get some thoughts/opinions befor anything......NO MEANS FOR THREAD JACKING!!!! thanks

            No worries haha. You'd be better off to get a 2.5" cat back exhaust off of eBay, it'd be way way less work. Also I'm not sure if you'd be able to fit it or make it work without cutting it up into like 100 peices. From what I've seen the 2.5" exhausts do sound a bit deeper

              I am between a small system or just upgrade the stock speakers to keep the weight down. Now you made the decision much harder >
              Haha do it! You know you want to thanks

              • Well I've been needing a capacitor for some time now and kinda have been putting it off cause they cost a lot and, well, they're ugly. Anyways got browsing on Kijiji and found a clif designs cap for virtually the same price as one of the ugly 2 farad things that look like an ugly red bull can. Oh and it's 10 farads .

                It's way overkill but what the heck, might get a larger system down the road..

                So I decided I wasn't really feeling the face plate on it, so that got ripped off.


                Got some lexan and built a cover for it.

                Now you can see it's sexy guts

                Still need to fix up some of the paint on it, then it'll get put in the car

                          Fronts are 16x7, 35 offset 195/45r16. Rears are 16x8, 32 offset 205/40r16. Both of those have a 19mm adapter on them tho.

                              I would just get an OBX catback, they're cheap and they're just a reverse engineered Thermal. The material isn't quite as nice, but they fit good and they sound alight, not too loud IMO. They sound even better with a turbo in front of them though
                              94 Saturn SW2 - T3s60 7psi, slammed, daily driven
                              94 Saturn SC2 - T3/T4, 13.4 @107 mph, built motor coming soon

                                That's true. Especially the turbo part!

                                Well I guess it's time I let the cat out of the bag. Was able to pick up a bunch of shifts while going to school, and, well.... I've bought some stuff lol.

                                First of, got a new sub from a pawn shop for 40 bucks. Says it can handle 1600 watts, guess we'll find out lol. Lot larger then the old one.


                                Also started building a box for it. The back will house the cap and some wirring. It's 3 cubic feet and tuned to about 30hz so you feel it instead of just hear it.


                                Also I am waiting for my new 1200 watt amp to arrive


                                And tonight I'm gonna be buying these

                                They are the exact same as my front wheels so I will have six matching wheels. and because certain people think matching wheels are so damn cool I'm gonna add a second axle to the back and run all six!

                                But in all seriousness I need to figure out a colour for them.
