Depends what you want to do, looks or performance?

Performance:
Motordyne Plenum Spacer 5/16
Motordyne ART Pipes
Motordyne Cat-Back Exhaust
You should be a little less than 3 G's here, save up a little more and get a tune afterwards. Money well spent imo, and this is the exact route i take.


Looks:
Thats on you lol

ALL WRONG you should sell it or trade in and pocket the money you just made off some idiot that sold it for much less than trade-in.

That is...assuming when you dropped the irrelevant fact that you spent $11K on the vehicle you just happened to neglect posting that it was a salvage/wreck or some other special circumstance. Lying by omission.

http://www.nadaguides.com/default.as...78752&mi=49000 for base model $17,025 for average trade-in.

Yeah... I agree... 11k sounds like a salvage price.

I also agree that if you only have 3k... You should go with wheels and suspension.... Or you could save up more money an go FI. Remember the G is not a Mustang... Nothing is cheap when upgrading this car.

That def sounds like a steal.. I was offered an 07 AT for $11.5k with about 65k miles on it but it was a salvage title =/

Decided to get an 07 AT (prem. pkg) with 30k miles for a little less than $24k drive out. I've been told by some that it's a good deal and by others that it's a bad deal.. but it was the best I could find in Houston.

An 06 with such low mileage for that price seems fishy..

Whoops, failed to look at dates. In my defense.. it was still a mystery as to whether the car had a salvage title or not

read the post that bumped the thread... then please tell me what he possibly could have been searching for and the search relevance to his post?...

besides, who gave him **** for bringing up an old thread? - I was perplexed by the bump - but I'm sure you can enlighten me.

Lol I find this post hilarious for some reason.. I'd be asking the same damn thing hahaha

I think I was searching for "turbo" and "auto" or something.. wanted to see what the general consensus was about putting a turbo or sc in an auto..

After reading the OP's post.. I just became curious as to what the title of the car was.
