When I had my engine rebuilt (bought it that way), I had mine desnorkled as well as the resonator box removed. The wrench filled in the hole as well as smothed the filler so it was clean. I don't know what the car was before, but it does sound sweet now. The one upgrade I did that seems to make it better was the Sprint booster. The throttle respons is great and what I have noticed with two tanks of gas is an improvement in my gas milege. Close to 4 MPG/CDN better! I leave it in the sport mode.
