Thanks man. Me and my friend finally figured it out. It sucked getting it out. Weird design.

I need help getting my stock double din headunit out of my protege. I have an 02 DX. I got the center dash trim piece off, but I can't figure out how to remove the CD player. I can see two screws toward the lower rear of the unit that look like they might be holding it on, but I don't see any...

So if I want to get a header and keep the rest of my exhaust stock, how much will it change the sound of my car? I want my car to stay fairly quiet b/c I have to drive long distances a lot and loud exhaust gets old after a while. Also does anyone have the Ebay Tsudo header. I doubt its as good...

I ran mine through the plastic piece in the firewall on the driver's side. The piece pops out with a little effort then you can drill through it and put it back in and run your wire. I might be able to post pics tomorrow.

Adding these 3 items, the header and muffler in particular, lets exhaust flow more freely through the cars exhaust system. This causes a loss of back pressure. Because of the lack of back pressure you will...

I have an 02 protege and haven't had a single mechanical problem with it since I got it (knock on wood). This is the most mechanically sound car I've owned, including my Honda Civic and my Toyota Celica. I'd say if you want a reliable car go for either a protege or a VW jetta, if you want a fast...

I'll try to post some tomorrow. Have to get batteries for my cam. (whitepro)

Just wanted to say hello to everybody. I've had my 02 Protege DX for about 6 months now, but I just started to do stuff to fix it up. This is my 5th car and customizing is a passion of mine. Hopefully I'll be able to help ppl here and give back some to the community. Thanx, sub (band2)
