I'm new and have been all over reading this forum trying to take everything in. I don't know much about what I'm doing so these may be newbish questions.

I haven't done anything to my car besides an air intake. I was wanting to get an exhaust next and later on a turbo at some point. Is this a bad idea to go in this order or could I get a custom exhaust that will fit the parts I get later for a turbo? I have an 06 Auto btw. After I get everything installed do I get it tuned?

Any recommendations on this and parts? I want to end up loud and not that high pitched squeal but a nice deep muscle sound.

 

the answer to all you questions are all around you, hell you even hit the nail on the head in your first sentence.

 

I'd go with a nice exhaust for now.

Check out youtube for a sound you like.

One step at a time.

 

id go exhaust... it will blow a bit of funds and will push ur turbo idea further into the future. if u really want a turbo car upgrade to a TC.

 

This thread is full of amazing advice, why you ask? We drive yellow cars, and that makes us smarter then everyone else.

You got lucky OP. Nice timing.

 

indeed

 

this!

hahaha lol

 

So if I get an exhaust would you suggest that I get a new header too or wait and get that with a turbo later?

I don't think I'm going to be getting a turbo any time soon. So for now would this work good with a custom exhaust?

if youre going to turbo personally id wait on the header and downpipe cause all that you would buy for your car now you most likely cant use with a turbo set up

 

Alright. Thanks for all the help.

 

if your going turbo, dont waste your money on anything besides a catback. just save up and buy the zzp turbo kit.

 

X2 wish i did this... kinda want FI but i have spent so much on the car already ... wish i just pooled all the money i spent and id have a killer setup by now...
