You can buy a whole new flowmaster cat back for 300$... The argument over the short throw shifter will be carried on by my grandchildrens grandchildren. I have the steeda tri-axd I love it. Its a very nice addition and will make driving more enjoyable. Buy an X or an H pipe while youre at it. Depending on where you live you can get a O/R (offroad) with no cats, which will increase your HP gain and sound. About the headlights... I just put some silverstar bulbs in my car for a little more light and they have more white look to them. Look into some HID kits, I hear nothing but good things about them and that is the path ill take later on.

Tri-ax is just as good imo... and you can get them cheaper... even a pro 5.0 is just fine, and they are abotu 100.. dont be caught up on a few persons preferences... all three are great brand names

My buddy has one of those. 100th anne edition coupe. It has some NICE seats. He just put a blower on it and black Cobra wheels though. He put a grill delete in it and lowered it an 1" and it looks gorgeous.

Shouldn't cost anymore than $140 to have flows welded in, Anything more and you are getting boned.

Just buy a cat-back and do it right.

I paid 300 for 2 flowmaster 40s, the flowmasters installed, and my H-pipe installed. I got the H-pipe for 160. I recommend getting an off road H to go with the flowmasters... awesome muscle car sound.

save some more money and get yourself a catback, weldins are nice and all but the stock exhaust piping sucks for any form of boosted app. I would recommend just a set of silverstars if you wanna get brigher bulbs, but again I would recommend saving some more money and buying some hid's if you want that bright bluish look. As for headlamps, we get some good deals with different vendors check them out, or if you buy it from ebay just make sure their rating is good. With any aftermarket headlamp reseal them with some silicon and let them sit overnight before installing, this will prevent them from fogging up down the road. I would recommend mgw shifters as they are sooo easy to shift with, I still consider myself a newbie to manuals as I havent driven one in 4+ years, and found it much easier to shift with (in my buddies 04 gt) than with a civic (best friends 01 civic)

A full catback will sound better, and it will come with the tips. For 300 bucks buy yourself a flowmaster catback and put it on in your driveway... all you need are basic tools and some sort of saw to cut the stock stuff off.

if you buy head lights from ebay be sure to use a sylicone sealer areound the entire housing or they will leak and fog up for sure

if your going to put a new shifter in, unbolt it crawl under the car get a long screw driver and a hammer and give it a couple taps. It will save you from killing yourself by pulling your old shifter off.
