Update on my car.

Well, since the last time my car was updated i have taken the stickers off the windows and gotten the exhaust piping redone to 2.5". The car sounds 10 times better than it did with the stock pipes.

Let me know what you think, all criticism is welcome.

Thanx
Biggins

Looking good man! Is your exhaust nice and deep now that you put the catback piping to 2.5"? I know that made a world of difference for me.

Definitly a good start! Custom exhaust is definitly a great way to go, but expect that tone to change if you add headers (how or why, I've yet to search for, myself, but the jury is out on whether or not I like the RRM sound).

the matrix is my brothers....sweet but kinda slow..... eventhough he has full custom catback and injen intake. but anyways 2.5" pipes with a magnaflow muffler...no resonator...with the stock cat. the car is loud but it isnt a pissed off bumble bee....you know....it has a nice deep sound exactly like what i was hoping for when i got it.

thanx

Strut bars, short-shifter and bushings (cheap and highly recommended), and after that, sit back and think about how far you'd like to take it - FI or NA? Either way, modifications just get more expensive from then on out.

piece together a kit then, if you do a lot of research you will learn a lot and it will cost you less.
