hello every one again im looking to up grade my car and the only mod on the car is a Injen CAI so im looking for another good up grade and a determind it between headers mid pipe and exhaust or just rims and tires
 
oh yeah and what type of ehaust and headers i know the mid pipe already and the rims and tires i want the rims are 5zigen f01rc and falken tires
 
you'll see the wheels every day. The best way to change how a car looks is to change the wheel package.

I just got an axel back from an MP3 since the gains are so small anyway.
No need to spend a ton of money for 5 more HP.

good luck with your choice
 
Another vote for rims/tires. I agree with Nomad on the exhaust. Look for a good deal on the forums for a used one. That's what I did. :)
 
I'd vote for wheel/tire/drop combo....no reason to start trying to make it faster, we all know where that leads. Headers alone make it much more fun to drive...So add header into the mix and you'll be happy...
 
A thermal catback with your intake would compliment it quite well, but if your looking for looks rims and tires are one of the best mods out there next to a body kit. Plus the tires help a ton with performance so kind of best of both worlds there.
 
yeah uhh im home schooled so im getting a fine education lol. yeah im looking for a mix of both preformence and a little bit of looks
 
I'd go for wheels/tires/drop. You can enter your driveway at an angle to reduce the chances of hitting anything.

Well then definitely save your money for an education....(RTM)
 
i came in strait one day in to the drive way and i think i scraped idk.. lol what about coil over and just save more money and put rims on there and the coil overs?
 
Modding a P5 is a waste. (IMO)

It's funny, I took off the injen and HKS, and only noticed a difference in noise. No performance change, milage went up slightly though. Paint the stock wheels and slap some decent rubber on them.
 
and drop.. can't forget the drop. If you aren't going to drop and want rims and tires, at least get 205/45/17 or 215/45/17 so the car doesn't look ridiculous :P. I have 205/40/17 but my car is lowered enough that it doesn't look awkward. The rule of thumb is to make sure the wheel gap is never larger than the tire sidewall.
