Yeah. You can put a Flowmaster muffler on it. I have a 60 Series on mine(I have the same year model), it makes it sound great..Other than that you can put on a stupid Short Ram intake....No good really, they work great until your engine gets hot then you might as well just keep your stock intake..I have a K&N stock replacement filter. It works great and is more responsive and a bit better gas mileage..You can put on an aftermarket header. But the only header really out there for a Sunfire is a Pacesetter and those rust out in no time..So just keep looking. Start out by telling me what you'd want to do to your car...

What performance improvements are gained with an underdrive pulley? Are there any makers of performance chips out there? How about suspension upgrades like larger sway bars, and strut braces? I see there are CAI products but how about a custom ram air system? Cosmetically speaking has anyone tinted their windows. What are the widest tires you can use with 17" wheels? Would they be 215's? I just got my 98 Sunfire last week and am happy with it so far.

I don't have dual exhaust. Like I said I have a 60 Series Delta Flow muffler. Its deep. Not REALLY loud but quite noticable. Go the flowmastermufflers.com They have sound clips of each muffler they make. The 60 Series sound clip is of a 60 Series on a Dodge Neon. But you'll have an idea of what it will sound like. If you think thats too quiet. Get a 40 Series Delta Flow. It says its for large engines. But you can have it on a four banger. A 40 is loud. The 40 Series D.F. loud but has a deeper tone. So its all up to your preference. But the 60 Series is the best way to go!

Yeah, Superchips does make a chip for the J-Body. But I havent heard anything about them.. There are cheap strut bars on E-bay. But I advise to you all. Get ONLY a REAR strut bar. Dont get a FRONT. The point of a strut bar is to stiffen up the struts; make them flex equally. FWD cars push through corners(understeer), so if you put a front strut bar on. you will make the car push wayyy to much. So only get a rear and it will make it more neutral in handling. I recommend the Flowmaster mufflers. A throttle body spacer would be a good bet. But you cant buy any, so you'll needa custom one..
