if you go too large you will lose low end torque.

Pacesetter makes some great headers if your on a budget, other then that I have no comments on their cat backs.

2.5 is plenty big enough for a 4cyl.

never owned a pacesetter catback, almost bought one, but lots of ppl on the neon forums say they are garbage.. rust out quick, and sound like ass.. so i didnt get one..

you only need 3inch piping if your gonna go turbo. 3" on a NA car is too big

Mine lasted two years before the muffler rusted/wore out on the bottom.

...then again, it did scrape on the edge of the garage floor every time I drove it into or out of the garage.....

I now have a Flowmaster muffler.

Ya pacesetter is junk. cheap price= cheap product...

3" is too big for a N/A 4 cyl car. 2.5" would be ok though. Im running 2.25 and have 0 problems with loseing power.

k, first thing... you want a decent exhuast setup, check out summitracing.com
look for the dynomax 17739 dual out muffler... it goes for 58 shipped, then take it to a muffler shop have them weld it up, w/ tips.. might cost you 120$ total including the price of the muffler... (this is the setup i was goin to use, but i found a neon r/t dual exhaust cheaper).. i can link you to pics of it on a neon, looks sick as ****, and sounds hella deep, not ricer crap etc.. as for your car, go to the muffler shop before you buy anything and ask them what they can fit under there...
ask them about that type of muffler, its a camaro type muffler...., you dont need a full catback, unless your doin serious mods, intake, headers, p&p, etc etc, your stock piping is fine for a mostly stock, midly modified car..,.,.

part 2.. ACK!!!!! stay away from pepboys for wheels, or at least take an accurate digital scale with you when you go, and see how much those peices of carved iron weigh... those things are cheap for a reason.. you might be able to get 4 wheels for 200$, but they may weigh 20lbs+ a peice, when your stock wheels may way 15lbs or less.. and the tire added to that ads weight of course too, so the heavier it is, the slower you will be, cuz your car has to push that sucker to get you to go... i was gonna get wheels, was gonna spend 400$-ish (which is cheap in the wheel world), until i found out that my stock alloys are pretty light, at 14lbs a peice...

sorry for the lengthly post, but this is the performance section, so adding heavy shoes to your car, will slow you down... but dbl check, see if you can find out the weight of the wheels at pepboys before you buy, and see if you can find out the weight of yours right now....

Yeah I haven't heard much good about Pacesetter. For wheels check out Tirerack.com Also I know a guy that runs a store twiztedozone.com and while he doesn't have much on his site right now if you give him a call he can get you about anything you want and has some deals on wheels.
