Default What would you do?

I've got about a grand to spend on my car. I was thinking either Pacesetters with TSP true duals, wheels are tires, or replace my entire stereo and add a sub. Personally, I'm more than likely going to go with the LT's and duals. I was just curious as to what everyone else would do.

4.10 gears. Minimal gains with exhaust like that without Heads and cam IMO. Gears will make a huge diffence in driving the car.

This might be a dumb question, but does the TSP true duals system have to be welded together, because all of them i have seen were welded, but it says it comes with band clamps.

I have it and have it all clamped. The only one giving me issues is the collector to x-pipe connection, the pacesetters seem to have a short collector and the clamp doesn't wanna seat right I'll mess with it in the winter. You can weld if you want I'd guess, but other than the one clamp on the collector (which I would NEVER wanna weld), everything seals fine. Good luck.

got an auto car? get a good converter, that will make a huge difference. Stick car? get the headers and the rest of the exhaust, I'd say get gears for that, but 10 bolt gear swaps for anything over 3.73 is very weak, and don't last long, esp. if you drive your car hard... save the $ towards a 12 bolt.

auto car, 3.73's are a good set to put in, and the 10 bolt with the auto will live alot longer then a stick car... which would be best off with 4.10's

No WOT vids yet, sorry

But here's what I've got:

I love the sound, have gotten many compliments on it and I dont regret going with them instead of the dynomax or sweet thunders at all.
