Indecisive about next mod.. need help

I'm debating between some knock off te37s or the stillen gen2 exhaust.. both are equally priced around $1000.

Here's my situation. My student loan leaves me with abour $1600 a semester, I figure I can either get the rims and sways and be mostly happy with them. or get the exhaust and wait till next semester around new years and use my tax return on top of that to get some really nice rims..

Get some rims but not knock-off te37's. Rims should come before the exhaust in my opinion... Take that $1k, stick it in the bank, and save up some more for a sweet set of wheels. Sorry that wasn't any help because my vote would be for "other"

Dont make the mistake and folly of most college kid and put money that is not yours (loan money) into your G. I had the benefit of going to the Army before college and having some extra money to play with my G, but have also seen people dump student loans into their cars simply to run out of loans and money before they finish school.

Your money your decision, me personally while on a college student budget I only put in excess money I made from working and in two years using just excess money after my monthly budget I was able to build and twin turbo my G.

if the $ is extra, go for wheels. nothing wrong with knock-offs if they are decent quality. unless you are going for weight savings, no reason to spend a ton on wheels.

Then get a stock coupe mid pipe and maybe an axle back muffler. The coupe mid pipe makes it sound a little better.
