Have around $4k to spend, what mods to get???
So after almost selling my car a while back and then deciding against it, I am finally at the point where I want to put some mods on it AGAIN.
Previous Mods: i had the Joe Z exhaust and intake and thought the car sounded awesome.
Current state: all stock, daily driven around town (hardly sees any freeway action and not tracked). I think the car already has a good amount of power, but definitely needs MOAR LOUD!!!!.
1). I was thinking about getting the H&S exhaust that was announced, but still don't know when that will be available or how the build quality will be (I know the Joe Z is like **** for all the mechanics that have seen it).
OR
2). Joe Z exhaust/intake & PPE Headers with HFC (cant deal with the gas smell as I drive with windows down most of the time).
OR
4). Something else. I am open to suggestions.

Does your $4k budget include labor? If not, I highly recommend the PPE Dual Mode Exhaust and Headers.
You want loud? In "race mode" the valves are opened, it basically exits straight through the bottom outlet like a straight pipe! Freaking loud and badass!
Then flip the switch to "wife mode" and vacuum operated control valves close the bottom exit and exhaust is routed through cambers similar to factory, car goes back to almost stock sounding.
Figure about roughly $3000 for the exhaust+high flow cats, another $1500 or so for the PPE headers and you're a little over budget but sooo worth it.
Look into the RR Racing tune down the line for an extra 15-20whp up top but with a big kick in the midrange.

H&S Exhaust!!! I'll get you that pricing by hopefully Monday! You know you want MOAR LOUD! You'll still have enough for headers too.

Pricing I know will be around the $2k mark (give or take). Do you know when the exhaust will actually be available if you get people willing to pay on Monday after the price details on official. I know its really on H&S to produce and ship it out (which will take some time since its coming from the UK). Damn it where was I when patience was being handed out. lol

Have to agree with RSXiMUS. The new PPE dual mode exhaust is incredible. The sound , the craftsmanship and performance is top notch. Matched with the PPE headers I can guarantee you will never rethink your decision.
