Thoughts...

I wonder who would win in a war, pirates or ninjas?
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make any noise?
If Google.com isn't used for searching by anyone, is it still an engine?

The kits are *basically* the same things. Up-pipes, down pipes, boost controller, intercooler, BOV, and cat-bat exhaust section is the typical.

It all comes down to personal preference. I will personally vouch for the Vishnu kit, as i've rode in a car that has it equipped. For some reason i've never been fond of APS.

Better watch out before you get nominated for a custom title!

As long as it's in pink like where it says "Moderator" i'll be alright with it.

At least it'll give people an expectation of me. I love living up to expectations!

P.S. I also have a tradmark on the color Pink. So if you could all stop using the color Pink, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Ok ok, I digress. But come on, how are Monty Python references ever not helpful?

Seriously, if you are concerned about sound, don't buy any until you hear one you know you like. I can vouch for the Vishnu being nice, but it's about half your budget (though worth it). Just find a local meet and listen to guys' cars until you like one. Then ask what it is.

It's between $1200 and $1600 just for the turbo back. Stage 0 is about $1000 for an uppipe and some other tuning stuff.
