Need some advice

Well before going in for my first tune (Hatrickstu is my tuner :P) I have a list of items I plan on having before i got have my car tuned

2.9 pulley/Hub
OTT H/E
Stu Mod
Fujita Intake
Dual Pass mod
60's injectors
Devils Own Meth Injection kit.


Now he suggested I have at least a catback before I go get a tune. Which sorta sucks because that's an extra 600 bucks I wasn't planning on having. Not that I don't mind having a new exhaust but I haven't found an exhaust that i like and really I've seen other people running a close set like this with stock catback. My question is is there something else I can invest in so I can actually run the setup above without paying 6-700 bucks?

Not that im second quessing hatrickstu at all just wanted to grab a second opinion from everyone.

My question is.. you realize there are more catbacks than just the one for 600 bucks?

I paid 250 brand new for mine.

you dont need an exhaust to run that set up. 2.9 is not that aggressive. and if you do decide to get some exhaust work done later on, it won't have much of an effect on your tune...

Yea i agree that's why im wanting to take his advice because he knows what he doing but if i can get away with spending that extra money right now and give me something to upgrade future wise i would rather do that. and the reason i said 600 is that stu suggested the hahn catback.

either that or the vibrant one....look on the classfieds section someone usually seeling one. hahn one is great because it does not give u the typical drone that other exhausts do

You dont need to pay 600 bucks..

Just have this welded together at a muffler shop after you install it with the clamps.. and have a resonator welded in for sound...
