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.

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.

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?

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

I don't like ordering things online that I can't see in person or pick up...only from safe websites like MT. I just wanted to see what he was offering.
