If you want to save gas just stick with the cat-back. You'll still get more power if you do a little more but your gas mileage will start to decrease if you increase scavenging too much. With a V6 you would be safe with a 2.5" cat-back exhaust and a real aftermarket muffler (no fart cans or...

It isn't. The Ford Fusion won car of the year, the Chevy did not. Ford didn't need to take government money because they had a smaller loss in the recession, Chevy did take the money because of their losses. Ford Fusion got 7.8/10 from Edmunds and is a consumer top rated vehicle, Chevrolet...

Your alternator can more than compensate for the stock radio, that can't possibly affect your mpg. But he is right on the fuel treatment, maybe get your fuel filter replaced, and check your spark plugs. If you want a slight mpg increase get a drop in K&N filter, MSD ignition coils, maybe some...

So no amplifier? You can wire it in to your rear speakers, but you won't be drawing enough power to work the subwoofer, in fact you might damage it not running enough power. The safest scenario for that audio would be unhooking your two rear speakers and hooking up your sub to the left or right...

If you really ran 25 lbs of boost through a stock engine, it's done. Just get rid of that car because you won't get any money you put into it from this point on back out of it. Even 10 lbs of boost on a stock engine is a bad idea, especially a 90's Chrysler engine... yikes

Capacitors. They basically stabilize the power going to the amplifier and make it easier on your battery. They aren't really necessary on systems below 1500W, or any system that doesn't require a higher output alternator.

It really depends on the buyer... You could fetch $20k for it from one person but $5k from someone else. I'm not sure if there's a very large demand for that sort of project, but you might be able to find a collector who wants it for a substantial amount.

Don't get anything until you're out of the military. There's no point in buying a car for $18k if you won't be able to drive it until it's worth $14k

If you do it a lot, it is possible to cause damage. But hey, think of it as incentive to learn faster!
