Next week I would like to order my first expensive mod, but can't decide where to go. My power goal is stage I. Looking for 275ish. I can't decide between FMIC that will fit my front bumber, or a full turbo back exhaust... I know exhaust they say the turbo spools so much quicker, but the FMIC will bring in much cooler air. Both around the same price, and I will get BOTH IN TIME. Just what would you recommend first? I'm afraid of exhauset, cause don't want it to be loud.... :laser:
 
exhuast will do more than a front mount for first mod. much more is needed to take advantage of the intercooler
 
I would opt for the exhaust work. Let that car breath and setup the supporting mods for future purchases. A fmic on a car with a stock restrictive exhaust isnt going to do much for you.
 
3 inch turbo-back exhaust. If you are worried about noise, put on a high flow cat and maybe a Magnaflow muffler.
 
Thanks guys, well let me reprase, I don't mind loud, but not raunchy, know what I mean. I want it to purrrr LOL ROFL I'll check out the magna flow :) :laser:
 
I'm looking at slowboyracing.com I'm going for a 3inch piping, looks like this will eliminate the Cat :thumb: The only thing I'm not sure about is if I need the o2 eliminator or not :confused:
