My BTG single axle-back exhaust system [B)] had a bad harmonic drone at 3K rpm that, even when adding a resonator, wouldn't go away completely. I finally replaced it with a Mopar 2.5-inch performance dual exhaust system (by Borla) and couldn't be happier.

There are a few things I did to my car that I probably won't do again. On my 01 I added the wind deflector above the sun roof. It looks great with the vent visors but its a real pain to dry under. My hands are too large to fit between the roof and deflector, so the front edge of the moon roof always gets water spotted after a wash.

The other mod is the front tinted windows. I did the front windows to match the backs. It looks great, keeps the car cooler inside, but its a real b*%@% at night to see out of. It was the first time I had front windows done, and swore that it would be the last. When I bought my 06, guess what my first addition was. Front windows tinted to match the back. I got so used to having them on the 01 that driving in the day light was almost blinding. Must be the yellow and silver on the dash. [:I]

My racing discs because I got stuck in a long construction zone during a heavy rainstorm, deep potholes filled with water & I lost 2 of them. Next worst was the Magnaflow muffler on the n/a, drone at highway speeds.
