xmas present....
steedaUDP's vs midpipe vs anything else for ~200-300
car is basically bonestock besides magnapacks
I have a feeling i will get alot of replies about gears, but i am a bit skeptical because whenever I use the gear calculator the rpm just seems way too high for when I would be on the highway - I could be using the wrong trans though maybe.
what would you guys suggest
also, if i did go midpipe would there be any issues with having enough room to fit in LT's (my car is an 04 + auto too unfortunately if thats an issue as well, and yes i know i will need o2 extensions)
thanks for the help

RE: xmas present....
If you are planning on eventually getting LT's, don't get a midpipe. The midpipe for LT's and the midpipe for stock manifolds or shorties are different lengths, so you would end up wasting more money in the long run. So to answer your question, no getting a midpipe now would NOT leave room for LT's later.
Not to much significance is going to come from 200-300$ for these cars... stinks, but I would keep saving and grab yourself some LT's and midpipe and finish off your exhaust.

4.10s FTW espcially with an auto. If you are extremly unlucky you will see a 2 MPG drop, but probably more like 1 MPG at the most, and it can be made up by just driving easyer.
There is simply no comparason between the (at best) 10 WHP difference you MIGHT see from a midpipe to going from the 3.27s to a 4.10 or even 3.73
