Well got a bonus recently and getting some tax returns soon... im willing to spend about 800$ on my car (give or take some)... but im not sure what to get... im looking for a little performance and a little ride comfort... so i was thinking some shocks and a tlock... what do you guys think?

tlok/gears/install

[Triple A]

you can get an exhaust. you wont see much gain in horse power, but it will sound and look better
a lighter drive shaft will free up a little more hp also

[Toph6888]

most people go 4:10's with an auto but it will cuase ur rpm's at say 65 mph to be higher then when stock which will cause lower gas mileage you could go with 373s but you wont get as much from them as 410s so its basically a tradeoff...if you want to launch quicker get the 410s

[Toph6888]

you could go wtih a long tube setup with cat back for the money as well and that would set you up later down the road for more mods

4.10's are a nono if hes 90% freeway driving. 3.73's or even 3.55

yeah and actually i would prefer to do something like that... but im not sure if i can do longtubes in PA... do you know if emissions is a state law or a county? because im moving in a month and im not sure about any emissions laws...

[Youngin]

yeah make sure you double check the emission laws . really dont get wanna caught with missing cat's

[N29468]

Yea if you get the gears you have to get a Tuner to fix your speedo.

[Youngin]

gears will cost a grip

150$ gears
200$ tlok
379$ xcal3
300$ +/- install
30-35$ royal purple gear oil
10$ friction modifier

[03stanggg]

yeah i have a xcal2 and a ebay CAI so far.... and i plan to get a new tune after whatever mod i do end up going with...

[Youngin]

go exhaust man. those will be the sweetest mod for daily driving

i also went with subs / visual mods before performance but i really do regret not getting my exhaust first

hmm i was planning on gathering some honey this summer in my engine bay... but that delete kit does look nice....

so yea i guess ill look into the laws first and if i can get long tubes ill probably go with the exhaust setup... do you guys know what i have to look for in the law that doesnt allow me to use longtubes? is it a smog test?

[Youngin]

dont put honey in your engine bay

its the smogtest. if you get caught with missing cats its gonna be a shitload of money.. its like 4000 per missing here

yupp the mach grille delete is like 75$ but look so damn sexy and go with flow 40's there cheap and they sound pure sex
