I have a 97GT and I am planning to cut the mufflers on the stock system, are there any downside, or affect, and is it legal? I also have a question about gears. I bought the car 3months and i dont know what gears the car have now. Does anyone know. In 70MPH it goes to about 2100RPM, in 80MPH it goes to about 2300RPM. Its a 5speed. Is that normal. and if i get a 3:73gears what will the rpm be at when at those speeds?

Thanks for the replies, i know its a lot of questions.
