First couple mods to my car

So i just sold one of my Gold Coins for 405.00 bucks on ebay so i think i am going to be ordering the Megan Racing Cat back exhaust and doing the airbox mod w/ either an AEM or K&N Air filter. Couple questions for you

1) Anyone else have the megan racing exhaust? what do you think of it?
2) I am stock right now, how much whp will this add about?
3) will i notice a difference?

The megan catback is a pretty good exhaust. Has a nice deep tone to it. some people say its too loud. Just make sure you bend back the heat shield so it doesnt touch the piping cause it makes a nasty rattling noise if it touches.

I absolutely love my megan, its nice and deep at idle, but when you step on it you better not need to hear anything else. I love it and definitely felt a difference once I put it on. And yes, make sure you bend that heat shield back some, itll rattle. Dont expect to get the exhaust right away either, I think the megan is still on back order. Ive also got the AEM dryflow with a shorty ram intake. Itll put out a little more power but the major thing is the supercharger whine. Itll sound good and give you some lookers. Good luck with everything.

The airbox mod is a joke.... it's a sound mod!

/rant!


The megan exhaust is actually quite good, but really loud! Has a nice deep tone to it!
