Re: [Amc-list] New exhaust!

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm trying to stave off the same issue.
We have given our 98 to our oldest son starting next summer.
It needs and exhaust, a paint job and a front bumper cover.
He was looking at a Flowmaster at Advance auto today, I'm quickly told him, NO, you don't want that on a 4cyl!
He at least admits he does not want the typical ricer soup can muffler and does not want it too loud! I figure a stock diameter Dynomax or similar will work out with the cat converter helping to quiet it down.
   The only  perf mods we plan are a header, front pipe and probably a fresh cat. Then an open air filter for the "cool" sucky noise thing.
   It's his first car, so I know I will not get away with telling him to leave the 10 year old 150,000miles car alone. Just trying to get him to not dump a bunch of cash into it or make it undriveable or sound like a piece of crap!
