go cheap now or go big later?

[typefilipino]

hmm since im so broke right now and just want to lower my car, get an "exhaust", headers and intake.. is there anything wrong with buying those cheap items on ebay? Is there anything wrong wit just buying a exhaust tip and just getting it installed on to my downpipe?


i just want my car too look nice before i head to bootcamp in october
go cheap now and go big later?

go big later...those parts are junk

 

[heykosal]

Dont buy cheap parts..thats dumb, you're just going to end up buying things twice.

DO NOT put just a muffler on your stock exhaust, thats what makes fart cans. That is what makes cars sound REDICULOUS and RICEY and gives us a bad rep..and btw its called a b-pipe not a downpipe.

(sarcastically)And yeah riding on a $10 suspension is good!

Just leave it for now. You'll be making money in the military right? "Go big" later...

All those parts are going to do is hurt your cars performance.

[DailyDB8]

only if you take a picture of it and bring it with you to boot camp....







cause you know how it is out there... it gets LONELY :thumbup: , but otherwise i wouldn't do it, all the annoying sayings is gonna kick in

"you gotta pay to play"
"you get what you pay for"
"do it right the first time"

 

[Bizkit64]

You get what you paid for.

 

[GeSeR]

As long as no one knows...........................

No! you should go big later.

 

[Samurai_Blue]

stock exhaust is good if you take off the resonator and top of the air box

what?

 

[Samurai_Blue]

haha its like putting SRI on stock exhaust. its quite just daily driving but at WOT its pretty mean. gets the job done until you get an actual exhaust

 

[98_gsr]

intake and exhaust are different...just cuz you add a shortram doesnt make your stock exhaust any better. Yes it will help your engine breathe better, but it doesnt make your stock exhaust better.

He speaks the truth!! I did my suspension set up 3 didffrent times, till i found the best set up for me..
went threw:
AGX and H&R sport - $420
AGX and Prokit- $100 (just for springs)
Finally got Koni SP3 and GC w/ top hats - around $950


If i got my set up now i could save $ in the long run..... please do it right the first time, CI and most importantly your teg will thank you!
