On the list as of now:
Injen SRI - $224
TRD RSB - ~$170
8" BOSS Audio Bass600 x2 ~$200
Everyone else's reactions when they hear/feel it all... Priceless

Kinda funny cause I use Mastercard. :P And if anyone finds better prices than what I've posted, please let me know. :) And I'm still trying to work out whether I'll actually be able to put the subs under the front seats. I know Aotoyota had warned about shorting out the sensor in the passneger side. Anyone know if there's 5 1/2" clearance?

nope. Cat-back. http://trdparts4u.com/MC-HGJ-CAGE.aspx And yeah I know I'd cut it close. I could probably take off the encloser grille to give another inch or so of room. And everyone's got Injen. I've heard both and prefer K&N.

yup not a cat back, its just the muffler and some piping. So its an axle back either way man pretty good plans you got there. I would rather go with Injen but thats just my opinion :)
I think they make the cp e for the gen 2 as well im guessing its going to cost you a bit more than the typhoon but it makes a bigger and better difference

ah! i see where all the PMs started from now!

when you say feel with an 8" what are you looking for?
I dont care what 8" it is, it will never substitute a true
subwoofer 10/12/15"

8" is more for a midbass, or bass that will have a good
impact but will suffer in the lower octaves.

but thats my 2cents on the subject.
Alpine + Dynaudio = Sonic bliss.

Dude, I feel the 6x9s in the doors. And they're just normal Pioneer speakers. Plus I plan on getting a bigger sub to put it in the trunk along with an amplifier.

And Ion the exhaust, either way it'll be an upgrade. I don't know why, but Injen sounds synonymous with rice. Maybe cause Mitsubishi always has their products. I have yet to see a Lancer or Eclipse that wasn't riced out.

Nothing wrong with the K&N you get a nice heat shield and a well made product.
