He's saying that the exhaust is gonna sound louder and better so there is no need for anything else.

Yea, that is true! But that kenwood would look nice tho!! I am leaning towards the exhaust alot more now! Maybe i can save even more n throw in some gears! Are gears really worth it!! Plus the kenwood is dropping in price due to the new model that is out! The "8017"!! Also are headers/intake a neccessity to let the exhaust flow better? Its not gonna kill my hp gains jut having my stock parts on there is it??

The Kenwood will drop in price but not the exhaust so its better to wait on Kenwood.

You can get the exhaust and get the Headers later...You 'll like the sound...As for the gears, the change will be very noticable. Click this link and check out these vids.

I've never ridden in a car with 3.73's so I wouldn't know about that. All I hear from people with 3.73's is that they wish they had gone with 4.10's. I went with the 4.10's and am happy with them.

Youre hearing it from the mouth itself, dont settle for 3.73's. Get the 4.10s before the exhaust. If you want it to be louder at the same time, but an off road H pipe and weld in some flows. Thats like a 400 dollar combo at MOST. Gears and install should run you about 500 once its all said and done. 400 +500= The 1000 bucks you were going to spend on the radio...When I got my prochamber, I didnt listen to the radio for like a month. Its so awesome to have a loud car.

$1800 for just a catback and mid-pipe. Thats about as nuts as I could think ok.

I would go with Magnaflow($450) for the cat-back and magnaflow for the X pipe ($300)

Then get gears - $500 installed
Then get a K&N Filter - $50

And still be way below the $1800

Unless the Kenwood increases your HP and number of ricers wanting to race you I would go with the exhaust. It really shouldn't be a question of which one to get in my opinion. Is a Kenwood considered a mod lol?

Well i live in VA so no off road pipe down here! I want bassani exhaust, its the only sound i like! I can help the price of them! They gotta be great quality then, if they are soo much! I might go with magnaflow x pipe and bassani cats! But i dunno about that route.

Were you adding in headers too or something? Cause I got 489.95 for the cat back and 519.95 for the midpipe ( which is way too expensive in my opinion for a midpipe) but thats still not 1800 bucks. And dont pay anyone to install it either.

The exhaust is supposed to be pretty easy...If I were you I would post a thread when you get it to see if anyone can help you out when you get it.
