I absolutely love my exhaust. Its the perfect balance between performance, looks and sound. Its got a bold enough look that you know it isn't stock, but it doesn't look like a coffee can. The sound is very nice and sweet when you are running the car hard, but during cruising its not noticable. Its loud enough that I can notice it only when I want to from the interior. It also freed up breathing after the Supercharger. I HIGHLY reccomend the Apexi

first of all, welcome. :) second, the apexi exhaust is definitely back-ordered as you probably already know, having gone through the previous posts.

and third, clear corners: seal 'em and THEN put them in. check previous posts to see what i mean or pm some of the members on the boards.

Yes i forgot to add, welcome. I ordered my exhaust from horsepowerfreaks.com and i've had it for a few months now. I only had to wait 2 weeks because of the backorder. If your car is stock then you really dont need the exhaust yet, especially if money is the issue. I'd do suspension first. That was my best upgrade for the money

suspension... eibach pro-kit with tokiko struts? From previous posts, this combination seemed to be the best.. would you know different places that would carry these? I know of shox.com but I want to price match it, haha.

after suspension, what upgrade would you do next?

Currently there is a great group buy going on. Check the forsale section. $329 for the struts and $182.95 for the springs

Also there are vogtland springs for sale for $173. Also highly reccomended

I don't understand how it sounds like a CAI. Completely different sound.

Whats your website?

And I agree, It sounds like a v6 should :D
