I want a good exhaust that isn't too loud I love the sound of the engine any suggestions?
Sweet. I've got the TurboXS full exhaust and i love it. I think it sounds the best and its cheaper in price than any of the others. It's very loud though, so probably not what your looking for. However, if you just keep your stock cat on and just have the catback im sure it wouldn't be too loud. Atleast thats what i've heard. But the racing beat headers and catback would sound nice Whichever one you go with make sure to post a vid of it!

What wheels and finish are those? And could you get a side view of them please

I'm looking for new wheels and I can't decide if black or a bit lighter finish would look the best.

the heck with it i went back and put $900 out for the cat back borla, ill take your advice on keeping the stock cat for now we'll see how things go. i got another issue though, i bought springs off rotaryfx and they actually raised my car instead of the .5 inch drop it talked about.. so i'm pretty embarrased its like driving a monster truck around so no videos for now, but this weekend ill put on the borla and ill take some before and after vids of it.

over $300. i asked them why it looked raised and their response was the springs would settle to their normal height after driving for a while. if that proves wrong ill end up getting the adjustable coilovers

Thanks for the advice I did a lot of research and brought it back to the shop and chewed them out for installing my springs wrong, they preloaded them for free and my ride is looking so much better!

Will do! I just finished putting on the racing beat header, put on the borla just a bit ago, sounds freakin amazing i love the sound borla puts out! I'll probably leave the stock midpipe though. Friday ill clean her up and take her on a shoot hope the weather permits!

So i'm looking at getting some new rims and i need your guys' help!!!
I definitely want the XXR 522 wheels. But do i want Chromium black, flat black or Gold??
Gold
Flat black
Chromium black

I'm kind of leaning towards the gold with black lugs. I like that look a lot.
