I need a few things repaired according to them. First of all, I need new brakes all the way around (I already knew this). Second, they told me that the rattling noise I have been hearing is an exhaust bracket that had snapped, the one supporting the cat. They told me that this has put extra stress on the Y pipe, and that I will need a new one. They also told me that my muffler was almost rusted through (stock original muffler). My car has 115k miles on it. I am also looking at getting a new suspension (lowered), and possibly some new rims.

Does anyone know where I can get good deals on a performance exhaust, brakes and suspension? Any recommendations on which parts to use or places to have work done in the Chicagoland area? All input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I live near Schaumburg/Woodfield. Just need the pads, and to cut the rotors. Looking to get a Y pipe plus a cat-back or just a muffler (not sure yet). Looking to drop about 1.5" with a medium ride quality. Also been wanting to do a 5 speed conversion, if you know anyone that can do it around here.

hmmm... i just got my car lowered with maxspeed/ agx combo. and i love the ride... it will give you decent not too harsh ride with noticeble drop. and agx is adjustable to you could go from soft to hard without major work. and i have budget y-pipe with greddy sp catback set up. i still have my old apexi dunk muffler if your interested. but y-pipe gives you most power gain that you can notice. let me know what you think...

Thanks for all the info Sudz, very helpful. Tae...I was also looking at the maxspeed/agx combo (my max is an SE and I don't want too much harsher). How much did you pay for it and where from? For the exhuast, I was thinking about doing a budget Y pipe, high flow cat, and a new muffler (still don't know what is best on that), and if i can afford it, I would like to get a new B pipe as well. I don't want my exhaust to be too loud at all, so I was thinking about doing a stock muffler (unless there is a better solution to remain relatively quiet). What kind of rims do you have? I'm still running on stock rims and am thinking about getting some rims to go with the drop. Thanks for the help.

mine's also SE im still running a stock rims right now can't afford it... and i got my springs from GD but you could still get it for $100 + shipping on ebay. and agx was $350 shipped i don't know the name of company but ill post it later when i find out it was pretty good price. and it's not that harsh at all. if you wanna check out my car we could meet up sometime... and i have budget y-pipe(i think it was around $180 shiped) and i used to have apexi dunk universal muffler before i got greddy SP catback. apexi wasn't deep at all, and before i got y-pipe put on you could barely notice any sound just from muffler.

thanks,
Tae
