Best way to spend $600
I have another 600 or so (preferably less) to spend from now, till the end of summer.
I already have/ordered:
Injen CAI
Eibach Rear sway
Sportlines
Shiftplus
Projectors
What would be a good way to spend another 600? I get my license August 28, and I want to build on my car from now, until then...
I'm considering buying a DC exhaust.... I donno how it really sounds and I don't want my car to be too loud/ricey...
Another thing I'm considering is a full ss/tc shock/strut package from CED
OR the 2.4 intake mani
OR shorty header from ZZP
Or any combo of them, but it'l gott equal less than 600....
Fucckkk budgeting.
Any ideas?

get the 2.4 manifold and a tune at the NJ tuner bash thats gonna be coming up. its end up running you about 500 together AND if you want you can pick up a 2.4 throttle body as well and still be under 600$

I was thinking about getting a Tsudo exhaust... Theyre really cheap so I'm worrying about their quality, and how loud and ricey they may sound...

Anyone seen/heard those? I'm considering getting one with the magnaflow muffler... so thats like 360 shipped, and I have enough for a 2.4 IM, and maybe some nightshade for my tails haha.

The quality is good, and the sound is not ricey at all!! I have the tsudo cat-back and I love it!! Its not too loud but its not too quiet either. I think its the best exhaust for the money.

Already have an intake... and seems pointless to tune now, I'll tune after a few more mods.
I'm really considering it as a possibility... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Tsudo...QQcmdZViewItem
That one is what everyone is talking about right?
I just realized its another 70 for a resonator... I think I'm gonna go tsudo.
Is it a bad idea to get a header before an exhaust? Or to get a 2.4 manifold before working on any exhaust..
Because my next purchase is gonna be either:
2.4 IM
Tsudo Exhaust
ZZP Shorty Header
or SS/tc struts to go with my sportlines...
I donno if its bad to get one thing before the other...

maybe not - but unless he's tracking the car all the time (which i don't even think can be done at some tracks around here, have to be 18), the greater risk of "lose your license for showing off on the street mod" probably hurts just as much as the 1000 over stock redline does.
