ey darrin i was wonderin do those universal kind of mufflers sound nice on our cars, i was goin to get a ct exhaust but i got the springs and cai instead. The ehxuast is a little pricey for a 16 year old right?

For drag racing, gate shifting is faster than SS simply because you can control the 1-2 shift.

In anything other than drag racing, SS is better - you get more control (if you floor it in D3, the car might downshift. If you floor it in 3rd using SS it won't do crap). I use SS all the time.
