Advice, my b-day and I get to choose something for my car

Title pretty much explains alot. A couple weeks ago I got my new frankencar intake and its pretty nice. My birthday is coming up and I get to choose something and my parents will buy it for me within reason. I have no idea what to do, I was thinking something with exaust but it seems to expensive. Someone give me some advice or ideas thanks!

Any idea on your budget?
Budget! hah, that'd be my first recommendation.

Budget Y Pipe $160 shipped - easy to install, instant power gains.
RSB - $120
KYB AGX struts $346 shipped
H&R springs $205

not sure on the budget. money I mean. I asked them if $535 for a greddy catback was to much and they said ya. I was thinking maybe a budget y-pipe and new muffler i think thats reasonable around 200-300

if i were you i would order a MEVI, but if not that, go with a budget y-pipe and b-pipe, if not a b-pipe then some springs or RSB. Greddy sounds nice, but is pretty expensive and tends to drone, apexi is not as loud but has a good throaty sound

I got my cat back for $260 installed. Just get a univeral muffler... take it to a good muffler shop... not Midas or any other POS place and have them make you a custom b-pipe. Well... I got a hell of a deal, because the shop where I bought the muffler and the muffler shop have a "deal" so yeah.

Hey guys, I think I figured out what I'm gonna get. I'm gonna order up a budget y-pipe. Then I heard someone say that I can go to a local muffler shop and have them make me one. If that seems to expensive does anyone know of a muffler that is good that I can order online? I want something big and loud...

So does that mean that an MEVI is out of the question? probably......Go with Freddies idea and get some Hanabi's...I'm one of his happy customers. Later
