if you had say 3k, what would you do?

[POSEIDON]

Whatever you do.


Buy it from Ken.



+rep for being in clarksville..well, close enough. I used to live there. Family is 101st.

 

[sickspeed94]

yes the kits do... except the BEGi. if i'm not mistaken, it retains the stock cold pipe. custome route is the way to go.

Ok, so I'm sitting looking at either the Apexi 3in or the perrin, what do yah think?
I perfer the look of the apexi, but I'm definetly more performance oriented then looks so I'll take the better performer of the two.

I would also be getting the apexi downpipe for which ever one I chose

The perrin is already downpipe back, so you wouldnt have to get the apex downpipe. All you would need is the s pipe if you wanted a turbo-back, but they arent really that necessary.

What would be the better buy then? the apexi w/the DP add on or the perrin?
