Arrow Ok... so here is my wanted mod list

So I have been deciding what to add to the car first... well the 1st step which I still am having some minor problems on is getting my mom to back off and let me mod the car in peace

But I am thinking of going 1st with L-Tuned Shock/Springs which would set me back around $485 bucks and maybe $300 for installation from a shop?

Then maybe do we a bigger exhaust for more sound

What do you guys think? The new shocks/springs would be on my current 16's and which exhaust should i go for and how much will they run me? Probably more since its dual right

Party On

Ltuned sounds like a good setup.

SEARCH for the exhaust. Tons of info here on prices and the differences between exhausts. Blitz nur spec, HKS, Tanabe, Carson Tuned, Prices will range from $500 or so on up. You could check the classifieds and may get a sweet deal on some that are used

I have the HKS and love it. DMan63 has it also. It has a great sound to it and looks sick in the openings because they angle outward just a bit. If you add the SRT intake and ECU then the exhaust note becomes a little higher but not much

Hey man,

I just ordered some Magnaflows today for $181 shipped for a set of two 14829's - awesome price and they sound great. Had them on my SC400 and loved them. If you are working on a budget it is a cheap alternative until you can afford some HKS.

Thanks and now I have both items from the list coming. Next which will take some time is upgrading rim size to 18's or very slim chance 19's.
