If you had $800 to spend

Which would you do first

Get an Exhaust (used Catback or new axle back)
Get an Intake

orrrr

For $760 I can get the 36k/36mi Infiniti Elite Coverage with $100 deductible. Right now i'm out of warranty.

I think I know the answer but would like some input

Use it for hookers and blow.

Out of the three options I'd do the warranty or save it for a future repair. But that's just me as I don't see much advantage to intake or exhaust in our cars.

Unless you place great value in having audible enhancements (ie. vroom-vroom), I think the return on investment with the warranty is greatest.

lol save that for a new set of tires, you'll need them anyways If that's already covered, you can get an nvidia or topspeed exhaust for that. Or a used FI or Ark if you can find one.

Warranty is also a good choice lol

Warranty is a good choice. After that, i'd go for exhaust. Or could always upgrade the sound system in the car, if you prefer an entertainment upgrade.

LMAO at some of the responses, but yea the most logical thing would be the warranty I guess. All the electronics in this car scare me and I will feel a bit more at ease knowing they are covered for the next few years in case anything happens.

Thanks All! I guess the other fun mods will have to wait a bit!

Thought about it, but then I started pricing out how much a new Navigation Brain, Hard Drive, AFS Headlights, ICC Sensor, LCD Screen, etc etc cost......

I think 760 is pretty cheap if any of those things ever quit on me in the next few years
