Default What mod??

Ok, so. I have stumbled across a large sum of money due to working, etc. And I have decided I am going to spend $500 give or take on my car. Now my question is, what mod should I do?

I was thinking of a mandrel bent cat back system: $495 @ Carline Mufflers

Annndd thats about as far as I got, anyway, what other mods are out there that would give me a good bang for my buck?

Cheers!!

The exaust mod or extractors would go good. Nicer note and a smigin more power.

Go extractors and exhaust. Should be able to get the lot for $700ish if you bargain with them.

That sounds like a pretty dear price for a cat back exhaust, i think mines worth between $200 and $300.
If your car isnt lowered than do that, otherwise save the money and get some nice wheels.

Ok,

So I've decided to really splash out and get an E-series EDIT...

But before I do, What kind of gains can I expect from getting one?

hmmmm, i paid bout $800 for new pacemakers, highflow cat, 2.5 inch cat back with only one straight through muffler from dandy exhausts, better top end, but nothing beats the 3hot dog setup i used to have! :O, no mufflers, blown cat, and 3 hot dogs...sounded like a truck mate

no point doing edit without lettin the engine breathe better.

Like mentioned before, a cat back exhaust should only be around $250-$300
and the extractors i would be looking at the wreckers, maybe $100? and a 21/2" high flow cat around $100
