Forget all that stuff and buy a n2o kit!!!


J/K Thats a good starter list. First and foremost I'd get the tint done! If something happens where all you can afford is 1 thing, get the tint. All that other **** doesn't matter if you're baking in the sun whenever you drive.

I second this..I dont know the laws about Louisiana, but in NY we have inspections and a cat is needed...Also seeing as how youre trying to spend smartly i would just buy the one without the cat and just weld the stock one on..or go catless.

Bolt on catted DP is about 300 shipped. Stock dp and cat is fine for power up to 275fwhp IMHO.

if i am correct, you might be able to save 30 bucks for that motor mount, and just flip the stock one, and get the same effect. keep in mind, getting a tuner is always nice. just not sure if you have a warranty, and idk if it would void it. cant drive around with one headlight, come up with a way to create ram air and a lot of people on this site will love you haha

Flipping the stock mount works great. Save 30.00

Forget the K&N filter and go with a non-oiled filter like the amsoil drop in. No need to remove it and re-oil it.

With the tint and STB's it'll feel like a whole new car!

Can't comment on the DP since I never bought one.
