Noob question

I want to get y'alls imput. Which mod do most people do first? Ive got rims already, but am thinking either Suspension or an exhaust. Looking at the Evo 2 or the borla hush. Where I work I will get a lot of HPD attention. Ive heard both are pretty quiet. The Borla hush appears a little more stock. Mahalos.

Talking

ask myron (myroncuz) about his borla hush.....

i forgot who has an EVO tho....

welll as for your next mod....what are your plans for your car??? autoX?? just HP gains for drag???

well if you're going auto-X i say go suspension...a good coilover set and a set of sway bars...

but if you wanna work on the power....i say go down-pipe & up-pipe first....then look for a good catback....

if none of these suggestions tickle your fancy...then i say...get a BOV...

cobb catback is also pretty stock looking, not to loud either.

just remember the bov won't make your car faster, only mine!! MWHAhahah

on a serious note, up and down pipes would be the best. those free up a lot more power than a catback would.

The Evo is not very loud I had it on my STI and even with a DP it wasn't that loud won't draw attention...

where i work i get alot of HPD attention, especially after work at night, when it's quiet. i wouldn't worry to much, but the borla hush is really quiet, ask myroncuz or if you wanna hear it on an sti, wrxed has one as well. it's personal preference. one of the most noticeable 1st mod is a swaybar with endlinks. But, that's my 02 cents....

wrx wagon. Thanks, sounds like the hush is the way ta go.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the sway bar was pretty much a given, I was planning on getting the sedan 20mm. Any better suggestions for a wagon.
