Since I stayed on the fence to long to get Zack's SC kit from Wes, I am considering getting the stainless kit, new mufflers, tips, and Sway bars. I need to drown my sorrows for letting another opportunity get away...let me know.

The performance exhaust is an incredible hp boost...an expensive one...but no other non aspirated bolt on yields such gains.

You will be happy.

If you had the money for Zacks kit but missed it, save some more and get the Trilogy. Most will agree this is the best bang for the buck.

Sometimes you've got to let everything go—purge yourself . . . If you are unhappy with anything . . . whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.

Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Merc when I lay my boost upon thee.

Do you mean Dennis? "DR"?

House, the point is supercharging is the way to more HP with overall less pay out. Pick any kit you like. Just make sure you ask around and research research research!

It's your car. Make it do what you want it to do. :)

Thanks gents. I will hold off on the exhaust but I anm going to finish the suspension upgrades and get the sway bars. Better mufflers too...strictly for sound and a little weight reduction. Now the question is Magnaflos's or Flowmasters....let the debate begin.

Dude, do yourself a favor. Go against the grain. I did.

Get 14" Magnaflows, res delete tips. Lose the second cats. Have 2.5" mid pipe made with a 2.25" H-pipe.

My friend, I promise, you will be the envy of other MM's for sound!

I was skeptical because of all the input here calling for x pipes and flowmasters. Baptise yourself in the river that flows the wrong way and you won't be sorry!

Metal Matrix Driveshaft
Rear End Girdle and Stud kit
Put in 4.10s while you are back there, if you want them
Upgraded Sway Bars, Control Arms, Links, and Bushings
Upgraded Brake Pads, Rotors, Lines and fresh Brake Fluid

Marc,

Is that exhaust pic the underside of your beast? But that is something I am going for...but I want a H pipe and not the X. The H pipe sounds better in my opinion.

House, If you want to drive/hear my full boogie exhaust before you make a decision let me know...

Full length Kooks, 2-1/2" high flow Cats, X-pipe, 18" Magnaflows, OEM tailpipes & Megs. (the headers & pipes are Jet-Hot coated, magnaflows are polished)

As Charlie (Bluerauder) can attest, this system is NOT for the faint of heart, gets lots of attention and sends Ricers scurrying at WOT.:D

BTW: In tunnels and under bridges it is just plain SICK.

William, I have almost the same setup except I have the Cobra manifolds instead of headers and either OEM tips or deleted tips depending how I feel.

Joe,

YOur set-up is what I have in mind, just from Stainless. I have been a fam of Borla for a while now so I might end up going that direction. Question now is to see if Stainless can make me an H-Pipe for not much more.
