that's some great advice...spend the money to get it running well, before boost. by the way, baadhabit, a friend of mine gave me the mag that your car is in, right after i purchased my is. not bad, sir...your car is pretty *****in'! seeing your car actually gave me a few ideas for mine...thanks!

 

thank you sir. im glad i could inspire.

 

i haven't watched very many videos on youtube with is300's with an exhaust system. But flowmasters on anything below an 8 cylinder is a big no no I do know that, I have heard countless cars that were 4 and 6 cylinders with flowmaster, they didn't really sound ricey to me just sounded like total and complete s***.

 

the HKS exhausts I have found all say axle back, the high power is what ive been looking at or the apexi (dont remember which model) but I want full cat, any suggestions?

 

The HKS Hi Power is an axle back exhaust. The only difference between a full cat back and the axle back is the cat back will of course be from your cats all the way to the rear, however if you just take your old b-pipe and cut the resonator out and weld complete straight pipe in and get the HKS Hi Power it will basically be the same exact thing.

 

I just installed the Borla competition off-road exhaust kit (front cat back at the flanges) from AutoAnything for $1,065 (they had a one time 10% off for joining). IT SOUNDS AWESOME! I had already installed the K & N cold air intake (nice), and sent my ECU to JET for the recurve. I'm guessing I'm at 340hp right now, it hauls a**...

 

any ideas for suspension upgrades?

 

Megan coils are good, personally I don't like a car too low so I have Eibach Sportline springs 1.4" drop. It sits nice and is a big difference from stock. What kind of suspension upgrades are you wanting?

 

Do all your maintance ...Do suspension and brakes.....and save for boost ...loan for car parts is dumb....do intake , header , exhaust maybe cams ...
