Either save a little more and buy a stainless steel Budget y-pipe or put it in the bank for when you need to do some repairs/maintenance to your car. You can have all the mods in the world but they won't matter if your car needs work done to it.

How about saving that money for repairs. Cars our age start coming up with problems, specifically sensors. Save your money for that, believe me I know!

Yeah, times have changed. My previous employer paid for my advanced degrees, 100%. I used to feel bummed when the bookstore was out of new textbooks, which was the opposite of my undergrad education.

Even though school is maybe 40 grand a year times 4, it's doable. People are so darned into their material stuff, imho Americans need to also get into the intangibles like education. Do we wanna be the #3 or #4 super power in the world? #2 is bad enough considering how far ahead we were 50 years ago.

But in this thread, I liked the idea of saving the $180 for a visit to AC or Foxwoods.....

You're in GA so need for stainless steel, just get a y pipe, the other mods like lights or strut bar can come later because they are less money. After the y pipe you may still have enough left over for a strut bar from eBizzayy. It will make a difference if you are still in 4x4 mode but not much of a difference if you are already lowered.
