go with the nav... you'll be more happy with that than an exhaust in the long run. IMO, an exhaust system is not worth the $$$. I mean, how much more of a gain in performance can you get with an aftermarket exhaust? The only notice would probably be on a dyno (if any). I wouldn't be surprised if you lose some HP. Even if you're not an audiophile, you'll be more happy having a dvd/nav cause you'll be using that every time you drive. How often are you racing your car and utilizing the extra power you expect to get with an exhaust? If you're going just for the sound, seems like a waste of $1000. Stock exhaust sounds pretty sweet already.

Go with the Eclipse. Personally, I think the stock exhaust sounds sweet. It's not uncommon for me to be driving down the street and seeing people turn around and give me a thumbs up. It's the exhaust that catches their attention, so why mess with a good thing? I have the Eclipse AVN 2454 and everyone compliments me on how good it looks in our car. It adds another "wow" factor to our car. It looks much better than the bland Bose stereo.

TV, adds another dimension to the vehicle. You've already got a nice exhaust on your car. If you want louder exhaust note, gut the CAT and get the Z-tube for $50 used.

Neither; have big plazma HDTV at home with true Sansui surround sound and stereo system. The only thing the G will get is some sort of FI if I can only make up my mind which one and who I trust to do the installation; then maybe some good lightweight silver Nismo wheels.

Do a search and you should be able to find some pictures of a double din conversion with the eclipse nav/dvd. Looks pretty sweet.
