Help me finalize my build plans
*Update 5 Jun
OK ladies and gentleman, I'm planning on building up my car to showcar quality. I plan on going with a smooth, simple, and flowing style instead of loud. Everything will be dark red, glossy black, or polished aluminum.
So this is what I'm looking at doing for the add ons. I would like some opinions, other options, etc. Stuff in Bold is already installed. Stuff in red I need a brand or help with.
Any suggestions in this area are greatly appreciated.

Yea, 3" exhaust is way to big for my target build level. And if my target shoots up sometime in the future, I can just put what I got on the wife's balt.
As for the Stiffy and TTR mount, are you sure that both can't be mounted? I'll go with just the TTR mount then, but it would seem that they shouldn't interfere with each other. And I know there are several people running mounts and the Stiffy. Plus I believe they each counter a different type of engine throw.
Can we get an answer from TTR?

Right now I'm still in a toss up. It sorta comes down to "Cheap/Loud/Quality, pick two" and I'm already dumping money on all the other stuff, but some of the audio I want is anything but cheap.
For example, I'm looking at the Infill G4 w/ toys (XM, Nav, Car Diagnostics, rear view camera) as my head unit. Thats a $3k fully loaded computer system, looking at a pretty penny before we even get to amps and speakers.
Most likely I'll go with four 6.75" component speakers up front, four more ether 6.75" or 6x9" in the rear, two 4-channel amps to power them, a pair of JVC CS-BB2's under the front seats for some mid-low bass, and a pair of 10" subs in the drunk.
I'm thinking of using the Kenwood KFC-XW1000f subs (hey man, you know I like Kenwood), which are low profile carbon fiber subs, and mounting them each in a custom glass box in the sides of the trunk. The three amps on a custom rack mounted to the larger of the back seat panels.
