body kit vs exhaust

[NegatiZE]

I'd get the Racing Beat cat back over the WW kit. The WW kit is a little over the top for my tastes...

[THEGOLDPRO]

exhaust!

your car looks just fine, do some mods that really matter.

[Lil Freek]

again... i don't think most are comprehending the situation.
I save up about $300 a month for mods.. hence why the exhaust would come in August or so.

Body kit is in my list, as is exhaust, intake, LCD touch-screen and turbo kit. Lots of stuff.. just gotta save the money, 1 month at a time

this poll was to determine which would get 2nd place.
cuz of the WIKKID deal on the WW kit, i'm going to buy it... exhaust is the same price no matter when i buy it... but i can't beat a $1500 discount on a body kit that i liked in the first place.
exhaust is like CDN$550 - that'd make a nice bday gift from my GF and parents (bday in july)

[dahotprotege]

so how much are you getting the body kit for?

[Lil Freek]

$1000 CDN, painted and no shipping
(that's about $720 US)

here's my math, if you wanna know my calculations
it's $925 (US) for the kit without rear skirt... + about $300US for shipping.
$1225US = $1700CDN... + 15% tax (@ border) = $1955CDN + $600CDN for paint = $2555CDN

so at $1000CDN, i save $1555CDN on the purchase.. or $1130US

I say go for the body kit. You are not going to find another deal like this in the future.

[Lil Freek]

exactly... that's just logic, i think... my car will be slow and silly (big kit, 1.25" tailpipe), but whatever. that's only gonna be like that for a little bit.

[McCorkle]

I hope you aren't thinking that a cat back is going to give you gobs of power.

haha, i just saw that sig proto....but hey freak you seem to already have your mind made up...get it done and post some pics homie.

[Kelly]

let me say one thing....i got magnaflow pipe with custom cat back piping and my friend has an 00 with the erebuni, and i turn more heads with my sound then he does with his kit....now i dont know if they just look becuase they hear bee's but still.

[Lil Freek]

i'm not really getting the kit for all the looks i'll get.. but just for the basic look of the car.

greg. i know the exhaust won't give me more that 5hp, if even. i'm HOPING for 7hp with the CAI and Cat-back with high flow cat..

I'm probably going to pick up the kit on May 21st or 23rd.. and have it installed on the same day (or the next day).. i'll post pics as soon as they are on.

[Lil Freek]

is it just me.. or does the WW kit sit really high?
(like higher than a P5 front end?)

i've been looking at some posts and images of bman's car and other ones on msprotege... the kit seems to sit really high, even for my liking.

[jnorion]

I don't really like the WW kit... the side skirts are not too bad, but the front has the stupid wings on the side and the back has a giant cutout across it. I say if you're prepared to spend that much money right now do some more serious speed mods and wait for a better looking kit to come along (obviously just my personal opinion).

Or, get that computer setup going.

[Lil Freek]

^^ see.. i've always been uneasy about those wings.
i like the flares.. that's my big thing.
but i think i might be too suttle to pull off the wings on the side of the car. i think i might have just gotten caught in how good the deal was

for same amount of cash, i can buy:
Bosal exhaust (not until i hear a clip or read reviews)
Kartboy hangers
ebay CAI
Magnet Bra
K&N oil filter
2nd e12K.44
eDead v1.60
