My mod list is in my siggy. I'm not fast, and I dont look to bad.
I have enough now for either mod. Lowering springs, or exhaust.
When I say exhaust I mean. DP (2.5-No Cat)+Ubend Delete + 2.5 pipe + 30 Series Flowmasters(or other brand)+SLPtips
or lowering springs.

or Lowering springs.

I want my car to look good, but then I want my car to make a sound. Its too quiet.

Here is a pic of the car so you can see I need a drop. And A video of a take off, so you can hear the car now and help me make my decision

ps - if anyone wants to shrink the picture, please feel free to do so

I vote lowering springs and spend the little money to have your resonator removed.

That way, you have a decent sounding stock exhaust systems... LOWERED, lol.

lowered FTW!!! i love how my car looks lowered. its just what it needed. lowering also improves acceleration and cornering. i noticed a decent difference after i did mine. my exhaust didnt get much louder with the high flow cat and DP. sounds a little better but nothing incredible. i personally think its more bang for the buck.

I almost want the same setup for my exhaust and wondering how much better would it sound. Also just wondering why you want the 30 series Flowmasters? I want to get the Super 44 series for my GP.

I'd say exhaust first unless you've got different wheels on it than lower it first.

I'm with CraiGTP. I love my GP lowered, even though it's only an inch, it handles so much better and feels better than my gf's GP. And she has her Resonator removed and her exhaust is louder than stock and has a good rumble to it.

So... thanks to a friend. I'm not doing either.

I'm doing top swap!!! WOOT WOOT.

The only thing I need are the L67 Heads.
I think I got everything to start the project.

does anyone have a list of items I need. So I can check it off.
I'm not getting the SS M90 Kit from ZZP.

OH, and does anyone know what I need to change on the PCM?

Thanks.
