Springs and then gears or exhaust...I like the rims you have, Plus can't get the Saleen rims cause I want them :cussing:

StangGT804 · 07-10-2005, 02:23 PM

I dont wanna lower the car until i get new tires n rims! I have enough money for the gears but not enough for the exhaust yet? Should i wait until i have enough for the exhaust?? I like my rims too but saleens are soo much better!! lol

If you want the performance then do you the gears but if you want the aggresive sound then I say go with exhaust...hard choice...I know.

I was also wondering what is the best intake? I might go exhaust, because im tired of my car being so QUIET! lol Are we the only two on these whole entire boards!!! haha wats going on!

It's usually pretty active during the day...I do tech support so I'm almost always online. As for the intake...a lot of the people hear will tell you to just put in a K&N filter which is supposed to be as good as a CAI...I got the Demolet CAI...PVC doesn't heat up like metal and they are suppose to perform the best, and cost almost half of most other fenderwall intakes...I got system #5, without the Plenum and T/B option...check them out. They paint them to match the factory car color now...mines is just black.

My car came with the exhaust but I know what you mean...these cars sound awesome with it.

No im here too. I'd go with exhaust over intake, but if you plan on getting rims, trust me you'll wish you had lowered if first. I bought saleen replicas wheels and the space between the tires and the top of the wheel well was neverending, just my .02.

yea, but after you put the rims and tires on, cant you just get it lowered?? lol

exhaust was the first thing i did. In fact, i had my car nearly 6 months without any mods at all, then i got my exhaust done and have been doin stuff to it ever since...
Sound and appearance were my first priorities, i dont really race too often, so i wanted it lookin and sounding good. Once MT FINALLY gets some freakin chin spoilers in stock im done with the appearance part. will start adding some bolt-on's here and there next. my next purchase will either be a new plentum or some lowering springs.

You could lower it before or after, it just looks fifty times better lowered, on 17inch rims or 18 inch. Also were you deciding between the intake and exhaust or exhaust and gears?

you can but you'll have to ride around in a 4x4 with dubs until you get the money, atleast i did.

StangGT804 · 07-10-2005, 02:55 PM

gears, exhaust, and intake? I was looking at the website you gave me! I like the stage 3 kit witht the tb and plenum. But are the dragon tb/ plenum even good? I plan on getting an bassani x-pipe, and bassani catback w/ cats!!

Bassani is expensive, I was thinking SLP...I haven't heard anything bad about them. As far as I know there's maybe 1-3 hp difference between the best Plenum and T/B combos and the not-so-good ones. Dragon is decent and for that price a very good buy...I would have done it but I had just bought my car and didn't want to wait. It's cool though someone sold me a C&L Plenum for 120.00

*Lances03SVT* · 07-10-2005, 03:20 PM

Here is how it will look lowered.........

MineralGT · 07-10-2005, 03:22 PM

Those rims are kind of plain but very nice for some reason.

*Lances03SVT* · 07-10-2005, 03:26 PM

I loved them but wanted to be different,also they are only 17x8's.They shine unbelievable.Sold mine to a guy with tires for $800.
