Stationary revving always sounds terrible to me, even at a race track. I'd much rather hear the thing at WOT going past.

Sounds good even though it's probably not the best way to spend your money... How much did you get the car for and do you think all of the mods are worth it?
Oh well, we are only young once so have fun (but be safe to)
Yep.
And after we have spent so much time and money, and later realised we could have spent it in better ways, it is called 'experience' .......... that we wish to pass onto others who have not yet gained that experience.
What I hate ;) is that @lucasperks06 has a 13 year old, first car that would **** all over my 8 year old, first car that I spent way too much money to get performance that could be outrun by an electric skateboard today.

The best exhaust on an alloytec is the stock exhuast.

That sounds bloody awful, sorry, you wanted honesty.

One thing that the brain learns as it gets older is loud doesn't = good. Just because you can hear it 3 blocks away doesn't mean it sounds decent.

I wouldn't go any further with mods if I were you... Just enjoy the car for what it is, service it properly and when it comes time to sell, put all of the stock parts back and sell the aftermarket stuff separately as that's how you're going to get the most money...
