Exhaust System + Lowering or Audio System

[Gus]

I have come at a crossroads!

I have enough money for either

- 2 1/2" Straight Through Muffler, No Resonator, Twin Oval Tips
+
- King Springs Ultra Lows + Installation + Wheel Alignment

(Total: $880)

or

- 2x 12" Kicker Subwoofers
- MRP-M500 Alpine Mono Bloc Amp
- 4250 Pioneer Head Deck

(Total: $1300 Incl. Wires+Installation)

Now i'm stuck deciding what i want in this point in time..

If I was in your shoes I'd do the springs, short body shocks and alignment. Then save up for the stereo.

yep id do the suspension and exhaust...

[Gus]

seems as if a lot of people are saying that..
these were my thoughts initially but the deal on the audio is really nice..

If i do the suspension + exhaust, i can do window tinting as well.

id prefer to have the car looking good than to have a loud stereo but thats me

Same here, go tint, suspension and zorst and then get the stereo another time

[Gus]

alright ill do that then, i'm fairly happy with the stock blaupunkt system and even have a home job aux input my mate did so i'll hold out on the audio.

my suggestion is stereo..
whats the point of a car looking awesome on the outside if its boring to drive because your music doesnt blow your mind.
but also in saying that.. i would never spend $1300 on a sound system.
i got 2 15's for $135 each at autobarn.. hooked em upto a 1000w d class mono sony THAT I FOUND IN A JUNK PILE!
and they sound better and are louder than my mates twin competition pioneer something something that he would never shut up about haha.

If i were you id change that to a ASR one personally, After a while it shits the Blaupunkt amp because the iPod out is putting out power as well...

Who cares what we think, it's not our car, it's yours. Get what ever you want with your money.

[Gus]

I care, i was asking for an opinion.
Too many choices with limited funds! haha

and now there is another complication.

I have the chance to buy 19" SSV wheels for $900-$1000. I think i will do that and get it lowered next week.

Thoughts?

definately the exhaust, once you hear the sound of your car you wont give 2 hoots about music

I don't think any aftermarket exhaust on a V6 will sound that good that you don't want a stereo.

[Gus]

made up my mind, getting exhaust and suspension this week followed soon after (hopefully) by wheels + tint then eventually ill get the sound system.

mine sounds pretty descent v6 compared to most in MY opinion. im just not one whoes big on stereos and driving round with the volume up as high as it can go making the car rattle like a tin can

[Gus]

got the exhaust and suspension done..

really really happy with it.

awesome mate, i bet your happy you didnt go for the stezza now hey? a sweet ride beats any amount of kidney shattering decibels.

[Gus]

yeah dude i'm so glad i went with it haha
now need to save up for new shocks which should set me back about $900 installed then time to save for the wheels..

[nathanVY]

Mate I'd go the stereo first EASY. I love music so much I couldn't do without it haha.

[Gus]

trust me mate, i love music to bits..
only time it's ever been off is when i wanted to hear the exhaust note driving away from the shop haha

but at the moment i'm happen with the blaupunkt system, i would love an improvement but i want to improve some of the aesthetics on the car first
