More to come.....

Additional ideas or tips are definitely welcomed!

Welcome to the club man. I like those rims and the tint in the back .. looks real slick with the black paint.

Your future mods look promising, but you may want to rethink the Lambo doors. It would be alright on a 2-door but even then I'm not a big fan. Then again, that's just my opinion .. so just disregard it.

Enjoy your stay here :)

Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated! Yeah I'm definitely gonna think twice about those Lambo Doors.

Hey Fellas thanks for all the compliments, encouragement and tips.

I think my next project will be installing the the Magnaflow Cat Back system, but I was wondering if I should also install new headers. Anyone got any ideas or preferred brands?


Feels good to be part of a great group, thanks!

Headers will give you a much more refined power band, and yield a good 10-15 HP but the downside is going to be the loudness of it all. It won't be horrible, but a lot louder than it would be with just a catback.

Also, before you go ahead and spend the time/money/labor on a header, what are your actual long term plans for the car? You said you wanted to get the HiBoost turbo kit in your first post .. which would make the header completely useless to you. If turbo is what you're after, then just leave the header out of the picture for now .. it's an easy addition later on if you ever change your mind. Whereas if you buy the header now and wanna go turbo, selling the header is still gonna put you behind..

Lookin good. Welcome.

J-Protege July-20th-2007 02:47 AM

Welcome aboard!

Just to comment on the doors thing, instead of lambos, why not suicides on the back doors. that would looks pretty sweet with all 4 open :)

Have fun with that 3 of yours!

sleepy2.0 July-22nd-2007 07:07 AM

yes your 3 can give you hugs
