Take out resonator from the air box and put in a K&N filter.

Strip out the trunk and all the sound deadening from the car.

Take off washer fluid, power steering, and AC.

Take off the Catalytic converter and have wide open exhaust.

Take off the sunroof and it's motor and replace it with a plug.

It has an intake on it... The cat is already gone... It was making an annoying "cooling off" ticking noise when I would cut the car off. Thanks for the other suggestions but I think Im gonna stick with the sunroof and all the sound deadning stuff! Thanks though!

He said free. That's pretty free I think. Except in CA where they give you a ticket.

ditch the spare tire and jack, its not like you will ever need it , drive with a 1/4 tank of fuel to make your car lighter. i do it cause im poor unhinge your doors and saran wrap yourself in the car to save approx 110 lbs dont eat anything and pinch a loaf to save a pound or 2. trust me guy, nothing is free unless you want to pull **** from your car.

the best '"free" mod is to improve your driving skills, intakes, headers, exhaust arent that significant

Only 2 of those are free, and they only decrease the usability and quietness of your car. The loss in weight is hardly worth all the extra trouble.

i've seen people do it...granted they were rednecks though

Also when you take off the reasonator (sounds like you already have) make sure you cap off the vaccuum lines, my gas mileage went up a lot (had it disconnected but not capped). After capping them (they make little vaccuum line seals/caps whatever) reset your ECU, shut off the radio AC and anything else that works the alternator, start the car and let it idle for 5 minutes, shut it off and you're good to go.

back home they started having four banger races. Motor couldn't be more than like a 2.4 I think it was and no turbo/SC/NOS. Strip everything outta the POS, windows, weld the doors, harness, seat, etc. Then to keep people honest they'd auction off the winners car, you couldn't get more than $1000 for it. Sounds fun if you ask me...all the better if they went off road.

I am curious as to why you did all of that just because you took a resonator off. I had mine chopped off too. Is there something else I should've done after I took it off and replaced it with straightpipe?
