Get some wheels.

This is the way I see it.

(The stock 19's look perfectly fine, but our stock exhaust sounds excellent too.)

Wheels give your ride uniqueness; much more than exhaust could possibly do.

If you have the money, I'd do both.

Or, just get some wheels and a pair of HFC; it'll make the stock exhaust sound even better.

Definitely lower your G. My ride looked completely different with the stock 19s after lowering. Clean and aggressive.

Don't bother doing the exhaust unless you plan on doing other performance mods (F.I.)... i voted for the wheels (and hopefully suspension at the same time) it'll do alot more for the car

i get compliments on my oem 19s all the time...i just cannot justify spending 3000$ on rims when the stockers are pretty damn nice...i had the same dilemma as you and I chose exhaust... my Intimidator exhaust arrived from FedEx 2day...get an exhaust man...rims are great but they are a worse investment than exhaust in my opinion

Wheels

I say wheels because your car is still new and under warranty you prolly only

have 15-20k on it why get exhaust and end up fighting the stealership to honor

their warranty and if they don't you'll spend a whole lot more than $3k.


Like others suggested sell your stock for $1200 and pay another $1700 for your

wheels.


My $0.02

Luckily my G came with an Invidia Catback and CAI when I purchased it. But, if I was completely stock, I would probably go with wheels first. The wheels change the whole dynamic of the car's look.
