Define fairly low...

I'm planning to get the HKS axleback exhaust soon; you could look into that.

A ztube is a male stimulation product that many g drivers use after 2am when they are pulled over on the side of the road and are by themselves.

Search man, search. please.

IDK about buying the spacer used...because of all the bolts and such that could with it. Speaking of spacers...do you think I should get the copper or the basic? I don't want to have to deal with the CCV and was wondering if it's worth the extra time to install the TB Heater/isothermal gasket.

Would I actually notice the HP difference in regular driving? And I understand the spacer gives it a slightly more aggressive sound?
Never ever ever ever buy used spacers. Read too many bad experiences regarding the lack of hardware that was received after purchasing. Whether it was by accident or not...

Yeah... I am a prime example of getting royally screwed on this.. but I did get motordyne to send me some bolts for free (Thank you again Tony)

and as far as mufflers.. I wouldn't jew out on the things.. I got my HKS for $403 shipped to my door. Well worth it IMO.. although you ARE 16.. and I didn't have a large budget at that age either lol

If I were you.. simply start with the coupe middy... although It all really depends on what all you plan on getting.. because doing all the exhaust work at once is much smarter once you collect all the parts (at least when it comes to doing the labor if you're PAYING to get it done)

Yeah...I may not get the muffler and maybe just get the Y pipe and middy (idk about the spacer either lol...I think I'd rather spend my money in other places right now). If I wanted to get a shop to install it, any specific place? I may be able to borrow a floor jack/jack stands though.

The basic plenum spacer is VERY easy. I'd say just do it yourself if you know what you're doing. You don't need a jack either. Just don't be like me and drop a bolt spacer down into your lower plenum. It then ends up in the intake manifold and it becomes a bitch!
