Default Does anyone else KEEP changing their mind on spring mods?

I swear I have gone back and forth about ten times. I got Lid/Long tubes/3"Y pipe/Muffler.

At first I wanted to ditch the stock cat back for a lm1 with cats.--Price $375

Then I started to look into cut outs but with a cut out I would still be stuck with the 2.75" piping but on the other hand the loudness would be controllable. Price-$179

I really like how my current set up sounds but I think its restrictive.

Man I wish spring would hurry up and get here so I can make up my mind. Any one else in the same boat as me?

Once you start, it never ends. Lol.

I've got my CME setup to install and adj. LCA's.

I also plan on doing some weight reduction, (rear seat delete, AC delete since the compressor took a ****).

Haven't really changed my mind, except for the tips to run on the CME. I was going to run Corsa clones, but changed my mind and decided to go with 6LE's new DoubleD style tips.

I'm debating whether or not I wanna do a YankSS3600 this summer or not...
