+1 for the M&K premuffler and 1/1 muffler + Steve Wong chip, that's exactly what I have and it's a great combo; very noticeable power and driveability gain at not much (relative) cost.

For myself, a Steve Wong chip, an M&K premuffler, and M&K one-in-one-out, and a couple of other small items, have kept the upgrade costs cheap, but made the driving more pleasureable. Will I lose a drag race? Sure.

But the other car won't be a 28 year old classic with 155k miles, that fires up, wrestles back when driven, and makes all the great sounds. There's something to be said for well enough alone, and tools for the job.

On the other hand, it's your toy, and you can make it into whatever you want it to be. When it comes time for a rebuild, I might do a 3.4 conversion, if it wouldn't add much to the cost of the rebuild process.
