Exhaust Or Springs? Need Input

Okay, here's the deal. I have the stage 2 kit and K & N intake and a full infinity sound system. What mod should I do next: Eibach sportline or GMPP Performance exhaust?

How big of a difference does the exhaust make when I've already got the stage 2 and intake? Will I be able to feel the power or just hear the sound?

You'll just probably hear the sound.................It's sooooo nice!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't help reving now!!!! It will add some gains just not enough for you to really feel it but they are there.

I forgot to say..............I'm stage 2 with the extruded and honed manifold and performance cat-back with a straight tip!!!!!!

It sounds much better than expected!!!!! It's the best sound out of a 4-banger I've heard. Go to Crateenginedepot's site.....they have a sound clip of the touring and performance and the OEM exhaust!!!!!

Thanks for the help guys!

Yeah, I've went to it before and listened to them. It's hard to tell without listening to them in person. I was wanting to make sure because the speakers that I have on my computer may make it sound funny.

Just my doin' my duty!!!

It sounds even better than those clips btw. You just can't get the sound from all the angles by listening to those clips but it gives you a clear difference between the three of them.

thats my thinking...if you had a 2.2, id say lower, but since the ss is already lower, then go exhaust n get the springs later...besides, the springs are a lot cheaper, you can get those next

Agreed. The 2.2's are sky high to begin with, so I would have said to get springs... But since you have a SS, go with the exhaust now, but still do springs later. They're a very nice touch.

is there any diff. between how much power you get with touring and performance? If not, why does the touring cost $100 more than performance. because I was gonna go for the touring.
