actually, fyi .... no exhaust will cost you more performance than it will gain you. You need a certain amount of back pressure to make torque. sure you may see a horse or 2 with no exhaust, but with the greater loss in torque..... your car would probly be slower....

Are you serious!?!?!?! I've NEVER seen a Saturn with ANY mods done to it...just not done here in Colorado I guess! lol Why would you WANT to mod a Saturn? I wouldn't!

Rep Power: 0 A lot of things didnt fit on my car and a lot of mods done arent as popular as honda's. Saturn is a very neglected brand but there was plenty I did to make it stand out.
The rear sidemarkers were simply red reflectors that I put a set of front clear sidemarkers on (cut and sealed to fit) then added a set of Varad LEDs to them to make them light up. Never saw another Saturn in my area with that.
The wheels were stock Saturn alloys, 15's from a 96-99 (2nd gen) SL2. Saturn alloys are known for light weight these tipped the scale at a hair below 15lbs.
The intake was custom mounted by me since they did not make a direct fit intake for a pre 1995 SOHC Saturn. We had TBI, while the others after went with multi-port (MPFI). The intake was made for a 91-99 DOHC but I got it to fit quite nicely and if you look on Injen's website, the picture of the Saturn intake is from my car. (here it is)
The strobes I made fit into the stock high beam housing, I gutted a 9005 high beam bulb, and used the plastic base to hold the strobe with some silicone so it would be stock and able to be reset if needed without extra holes. I wired them to the high beam switch to take away from adding more switches inside the car. The neons were wired to a switch that I put in the ashtray, I used a dremel to put a lil hole for the switch and done.
There was a bunch of other stuff done but Im sure you get the idea.

I knew someone would mention the shifter pic, that was pre short shift, here is a pic with the shifter installed

Rep Power: 0 Everytime I get into my car a different idea pops into my head.
I would totally get some ideas goin. I was considered the lighting specialist over there cause of all the combinations I had to get a good output up front and inside.
Right now Im workin on trying to find a REAL replacement dash kit, not some tape on stuff. I know I can pickup the stereo and HVAC area plate from a Civic Si. I gotta look into this one cause I dont want to paint again.
The gauges I may leave stock and change the background color at night, since they look good in the day. That may be a good winter project.
Ill keep ya up on ideas if I get them.
