I finally convinced my dad to not sell my neon and let me keep it.the clutch is going to be replaced in like 3 weeks.the muffler is rusting and im looking to replace it.probably gonna need a catback.im basically looking for something cheap but i dont want the loud anoying fartcan.so if anyone has suggestions let me no.other then that i might do a thing here and there but nothing serious.possible future plans, Short throw shifter, used wheels(15" or 16"), radio mast and antenna, and ebay intake for shits and giggles.well if u have any suggestions on what kinds of parts to look for let me no.i realize its a neon and its just gonna be a daily.but i just have a problem leaving cars stock…cant help it ---

Advance Auto is having a sale on the dynomax muffler for the neon. 70 bucks! and the piping catback is 67 bucks! There’s aslp a nice gain for SOHC neon’s with a DOHC muffler, less restrictive. ---

yeah, 67 is for both pipes and 70 for the muffler. I only bought the pipes and install my own muffler but, I might go buy the muffler now that it’s on sale. ---

There’s aslp a nice gain for SOHC neon’s with a DOHC muffler, less restrictive. good deal! the catback 2.5 dynomax piping is what I have. But i have a longtube header, glasspack in the tunnel, and a camaro dual tip magnaflow muffler. Sounds good and has a nice gain. If you wanted to have a little fun i would suggest a SOHC longtube header, that dynomax pipe, and a muffler of your choice, adding a glasspack or resonator would be for you to decide, (it does cut down ALOT of rasp) then go get a magnum intake mani from a 2000+ magnum engine neon, then add a CAI. you’ll feel a difference > [@I just had to send the best email](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-just-had-to-send-the-best-email/30823/19): > > its a 98 SOHC.i dont think a SRT-4 catback would fit on it.

booger bushings are about the best I’ve used. I’ve tried others and they dont feel much different from stock, but the booger bushings you can definitely feel a difference. ---
