Look man, you don't need a meth kit yet. Start with full piping (up-pipe, turbo back and COBB AP. . .) then worry about that later on. There is no need for a meth kit earlier in the modding stages. . .I higly consider calling the guys and GST and ask for Greg. Let him know what your modding goals are. So eventually in the end you can save money and get what you really need and want. Happy Modding!

it depends if you really want a loud set up or a quiet one. if you want loud but stealtht, hey any bellmouth down pipe, and a perrin dual exhaust. if you want something quieter and stealthy, go for a borla hush. www.subydude.com has some great exhaust specials. give them a call and ask for my brother Hubert. If anything, be patient...and keep up with the classifieds so you can save some money.

meth ftw. You can call smc and order from them. as for filling up, you can use window washer fluid. Youd want to run it 50/50 with distilled water though

If you want loud, go with a catless downpipe, but be forewarned, its gonna smell like ****. No you will not save gas with your upgrades.Just a piece of advice, think about getting some good brakes and upgrade your suspension before you start packing on the power.
