What to ask Santa for?
I've got a bit of holiday cheer to spend on myself and wanted to know you guy's opinion on what it should go to. These are the things I was thinking about:
1) Racingline strut bar & Grounding kit (maybe)
2) Remix Customs dual exhaust (axle back kit)
3) Nismo type front lip
4) Redline Goods shift boot, console cover and new shift knob
5) Any good suggestions for about $200?

I already have some DDM HID's on the way and just got my windows tinted (finally) so the lower cost mods are running dry

I'd go for the RL front strut bar and rear sway bar. The grounding kit should only be considered if you've experienced dimming or if you know that the factory grounding points are corroded.
Or go with the Remix axleback mufflers

I'd pick the mufflers from your list. There's nothing quite like giving your car a voice.

I know! The only thing is I know of no one who has these mufflers on their car. The LAST thing I want to do is make my car sound like one of those angry mosquito Hondas. Does anyone have a "N1 style" exhaust? That, and they have two models that nearly look identical... Any idea what the difference is?

I want to stay away from the "custom, one off" exhaust systems for now. I had my experiences with those, and my experience was not a good one. It rusted, the welds were crap, and at one point it actually fell off my truck - but it sounded good.

I'm thinking of going with those for axlebacks....might go with the bolt on vs the weld on ones since my mufflers are clamped. A local muffler shop can make adapters for the bolt ons, so if I choose to go with different ones, I can later bolt them on.

So how come some people have clamp on mufflers and some have bolt on? I've noticed this quite a bit on these forums. Mine at least I am pretty sure are bolt on. Does it make a difference what year or production run? Just curious what else is different...

Yeah, just kidding. They have a full kit for about 275 that I might think about getting. but in reality how much of a difference can it make? the piping is the same size and it's all mandrel bent anyway.

^^ Stillen is a good brand to go with if you want a quality system.
