What the hell were you thinking?  How do you buy Nissan stuff from a DohcCivic guy?
Either way.  Bomb mufflers are crap.  You now have 2 inch exhaust and a fart pipe hanging off it.
A K&N filter will help, but the stock intake TUBING is extremely restrictive, and if you want any power at all, you should replace that with a mandrel bent tube, like Injen makes, to decrease air turbulence.  
I would pitch everything into the canal behind my house.  You could just sell it if thats what you wanna do.
But either way... illegal dumping or salvaging and reselling, get rid of it, and do things right.

If you keep that stuff...
Have a muffler shop MANDREL bend some larger, 2.25 or 2.5 inch exhaust to decrease the number of bends in the stock pipe, and get rid of those crush bends.  This will extract more power from that bomb.  Then see if they can make some 3" intake tubing.. That should be pretty cheap.  Get an
ECU upgrade and a header (NOT A PACESETTER&#33<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

You can buy some good things from ebay, but you have to know what you want and wait for it to be posted for auction.  Go to this link:  http://home.att.net/~MabuhayCarlos/
Carlos has done alot of research on 240sx with SOHC engines.  You should get some good ideas there.

What happens when you buy stuff from dohccivic guy: You get a 240 with civic performance and sounds... I don't think that's what you want <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
