full exhaust or Rims and tires

[FinalResort]

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

 

[FinalResort]

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

 

[KrayzieFox]

My vote goes to rims/tires.

2nd vote for rims and tires. Way more impact for the $.

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.

 

[L8R]

Rims, tires, and a drop.

 

[FinalResort]

idk if i can drop it b/c i will scratch coming out of my house

 

[Tasty]

That seals the deal then; save money for a new house!

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...

Damn, I was lucky if my car was running when I was 16...Save your money!!!! Buy an education....

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.

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

Well then definitely save your money for an education....(RTM)

 

[FinalResort]

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?

 

[Mike R]

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.

 

[susamafone]

id have to go with rims and tires too

 

[Kansei]

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 . 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.
