Default Let the modding begin!!!

I ordered my TSP smoked clear lid today, can't wait for it to get here. This is only the beginning. Next up will be SLP Y/LM. I will probably go with carsound cats also.

I agree with JRP. Read the forums, find out what works and plan out your mods. Then sit down, research, and replan. It will save you money in the long run and you will be happier you did things right the first time. Definitely a great choice for the first mod though and good luck in the future!

Take the y-pipe money and spend it elsewhere. The TSP lids are a great mod though. I love mine.

Once again, thanks for all the great info. I think I will save the money I was going to spend on the Y for now. I'm almost 100% positive I'm going to go with the LM though. Question, is it pretty easy to install the LM yourself? Thanks again!

I cant tell you how many times I have replanned out the mods to my car, and I am already amazed at how trivial some things I had originally planned to do would have been. One of my favorite places to get good advice is your replies, so there ya go

LM is pretty easy to install...I did mine on jackstands in my driveway. Couple hours work at most if you take your time.
