CAI & Y pipe or greddy cat-back?
Ok. I only have $600 dollars. I need a new exhaust system, but I am tired of my slow VG. I know if i get the CAI and Y pipe my car won't be running 10's or anything even close, but it real be a lot better with them. Plus i heard the CAI intake gives your car nice growl. I am not going to have money again until spring because I am a full time college student. So i am wondering what you guys think? Should I get the CAI and Y pipe and just get a cheap replacement muffler. Or should I just get the greddy cat and wait till april to get the CAI and Y pipe??

Go for the CAI and Y pipe. After that do the JWT ECU and UDP or custom catback. The CAI, Y pipe and JWT ECU will be the 3 most noticeable and easiest bolt ons. Everything else nickels and dimes till you pull the heads and get hardcore

Thanx you guys. I just ordered my CAI and cattman Y pipe. I had one more question. I heard that if you have a aftermarket Y pipe and greddy cat-back, the cat-back will sound too loud. But most of these guys had 5th gens. So I was wondering if any of you guys with a y and a greddy cat have any problems. Like if it is too loud.

Well, I have the CAI, Y, Cat, and GReddy. Lemme tell you that's a quite set-up. At idle all you can hear is the CAI sucking in air, and it's really quiet around town. At WOT it gets a deep extremely nice sounding growl, but I would by no means say it's loud. The CAI is louder at WOT than the actual exhaust. It's a very good setup. And there's no droning whatsoever...

DO it all
Just go slow, look for deals, people selling mods, you can get it all.
Through this forum and eBay, I got my Place Racing CAI for $150 (yes I know WSP is cheaper), I got my Cattman Y-pipe for $0 (Bought it for $100 and sold my stock one for $100), and my GReddy catback slightly used for the price of a new stock replacement and shipping ($129 + $20 shipping + $50 kickback to the owner).

I've had the Greddy cat-back for years now and looking back on it I would've got the Y-pipe first. I'm using a Stillen intake. The Y-pipe will probably come this spring. I also have the JWT ECU and a UDP. I'll probably add a new cat also. Intake, Greddy, UDP, Y-pipe, ECU and fresh cat = hang on!

I will probably have some fun with it for a little while around town. Everybody I see will want to race me.

Thanks for the info. I think I will call courtesy, I was told that they were a little over $50 for stock replacements. I think the bulb is ok, its the glass that is broken completely off and I think the wires got cut too. I'll have to do some investagating. Thanks
