In a bit of a dilemma..maybe you guys can help me out

So i was set on buying this carbon fiber trunk, http://www.b2autodesigns.com/product...oducts_id=3922 . I already have a custom catback exhaust..its a little deeper and louder then the stock exhuast. It's not as loud as i would like it to be. but my buddy's buddy has a HKS hi-power true dual exhaust and test pipes (2 years old) , and brand new in the box eibach springs 1 inch drop. The trunk cost like 650, and he wants 900 for the exhuast,springs, and test pipes. Now i can't buy everything..do i go with the CF trunk and stick with the exhaust i have, or go with the hks, test pipes, and new springs?

The Cf trunk is always available............get the package deal from your buddy
Also, the HKS hi=power isn't that loud....make sure you like how they sound first.
I took my G widebody with Greddy turbo cruising around 90E all morning . My HKS hi-power sounded very nice Spring is here
Take care

u can add test pipes to the exhaust you have and it will be louder than it is now. I remember telling you that when we met up

I have to take my resonated test pipes off when I install the turbo in May. So if you like the exhaust you have and just want it louder then add test pipes. Grab the trunk now and be happy

or grab the exhaust and test pipes your friend has. Its going to sound exactly like my car did cuz i have the same setup in case you forgot
