I was looking at either putting on a Stillen Gen2 Exhaust System or putting on Stillen Swaybars & Stillen Strut Tower Brace when I get my taxes back. Which one would you choose?

 

I would go with the sways, but I would look for a better strut bar design.

IMO, exhausts only make more sound unless you've done intake, manifolds, cats and tune.

 

I'm feeling the same way. Unless I can get a good deal, my wish list is as follows:
sways
slotted drilled rotors,pads,ss lines
TD exhaust
some type of front lip
tint

 

Exhaust

 

Exhaust as well. IMO, you don't NEED any of the above to have the car sound good....my HKS with K&N filter, z-tube, OEM manifold, OEM cats & LACK of a tune sounds just great to me.

 

I would do the sways first hands down!!

 

I would also do the sways first.
Exhaust is a fun mod and you chose a nice one.
The strut tower bar is mostly for looks so don't expect much from it. The GT Spec/VRT one or the Ti ARC ones are IMO the only ones that help a decent amount and still nothing like sway bars.

 

You're probably better off with sway bars and lower tie bars than you are with sways and front strut bar.

 

In my worthless opinion I would buy exhaust. My rule of thumb is a car needs to have good paint ,good stance (lowered) and nice shoes, then good sound and then your gold baby

 

This decision is personal in my opinion. Its either u prefer a better sounding car which u wont get much sound out of tha stillen (close to stock), or u prefer handling which u would actually feel some results from tha sways and lower tie bar.. dont get a strut like they mentioned mostly for looks. =) Now to give u my opinion.. my first mod was my exhaust. But for the sole reason that its an HKS not a stillen. If it were stillen, id still have my stock exhaust still on. Its ur decision, hope i helped somewhat. Good Luck

 

this is a sedan forum... Stillen exhaust isn't remotely similar to stock... not even gen2, certainly not gen1

now on a coupe? I don't know... never paid any attention.

 

Sways x1,000

 

I change my mind... go buy the biggest, most hidiously stupid wing you can find oh, and don't forget lots of neon and always remember to hang the neon below the car so we can see the lamps themselves from a mile away

 

I decided to finish up my suspension. I got the Richie's STB installed today. When I get my taxes back it will be Stillen Sways next.

 

OLD SCHOOL METHOD
breathing mods (front to back) first

intermix: power adders & suspension

wheels, kit, paint, interior

THEN fine tune and make changes for enhancing experience

FF METHOD
Kit
wheels
ice
suspension
power adders
start over with new car

Not slamming anyone, its just that many want to be seen, rather than be patient and plan for the end game.
