How's it going... I just picked up my pony yesterday... what do you think?






Mineral Grey w/ Medium Parchment Leather Int.
Verona Grain Trimed Leather Seats
Interior Upgrade Package
Exterior Sport Upgrade Package
Traction Control
Front Seat Side Airbags
Active Anti-Theft System
Automatic Transmision

I am planning on upgrading my duals first... I want MSP's set up... could anyone tell me what Xpipe and duals he used ?

Then i'm going to upgrade my sound system... headunit, amps, subs...

Tell me what you guys think.

I think exhaust and a tuner before you go into the soundsystem, but thats just me. The dual setups on here definately sound good, but i dont know how much power they are gainin from them.

Congrats by the way.

Re: Tuner

is there anyway to get the tune done without breaking down and buying a unit for myself?

EDIT: sorry, yes you can buy the tuner, get the tune done, and then sell the tuner that wont work for anyone elses vehicle until it is reprogrammed.
so again no

Yes i know the tuner is expensive, but at $400 its going to be necessary basically for all intake mods that you do, and it will allow you to change rpm shift points, etc. And since you have that automatic trans, you can get rid of the horrible delay that it has from a stop.

I went with a Magnaflow Xpipe, and flows.. How Zodiac said Bassani is beyond me...Sweet ride man!! Looks really nice..

There is a huge difference in tone between the Bassani and Magnaflow Xpipe.. Please dont blow this!!

I'm in California, but whatever you do, dont go to Midas.. I heard they try and charge an arm and a leg.. What I would do is just look through the yellow pages for a small MOM&POP shop.. These types of shops will do much better work, charge you a flat fee, and wont worry about custom bends.. Try and find someone who is not too commercial.. Thats your best bet..

A smaller shop will quote you a price that you can count on.. Midas may try and charge you more because they have 100 other cars to do, and your wasting their time converting a perfectly fine single exhaust to a dual.. LOL!!
