Lightbulb ~*Need some input*~

Ok guys, I need some help..... I am at a dead end on what I should do to my baby next.... So if you have time, take a look at my photo album and give me some input on what I should do to her next!

Plans for winter include:
1. New Ram air hood
2. Complete suspension redue (lowering it)
3. exhaust system (cat back with 3" DP)

After that... Idk where to go!
Thanks! and dont be afraid to tell me how it is! lol :p

You got a really nice Monte!

I have one suggestion for you, get a heat shield, or some sort of box for your intake so that you have a real CAI, and not a HAI! Otherwise, IDK, it looks great.

IMHO 3in DP might be a bit over kill since i don't see a S/C 2.5 would be sufficient... another thing to add is maybe a black and silver bow tie trunklid jarhead can help you in that department..

I just typed a huge response to this, and it was deleted because the site is being dumb and it took me to your profile that I clicked 10 minutes ago

2.5" downpipe + 2.5" rest of the exhaust. Big pipes and loud sucks on these engines.

Do you have a CAI or FWI? Start with that, get the air into your engine, then you can deal with the excess air with an HV3 + ER Rockers, then you exhaust it through the ZZP Powerlog to replace your stock front manifold, and into your DP + exhaust.

I'm sure there is plenty more you can do- why don't you post your current mod list.

If that is the case, I would really consider doing a relatively quiet exhaust that you can live with day to day, and then get an electric cutout. That way you can have it stupid loud when you want it, and still driveable other times.

That list is pretty long but I can do that, and i was thinking about a cutout, but I dont drive it everyday..... only to shows and this past year I only put 500 miles on so I could probably live with it. Exhaust is def on the list though!
