I agree get some AP2 wheels with some nice tires then I would spend the money on a header and test pipe. Leave it like that and see if you like the sound. Thats what mine has and everywhere I go I get compliments on the sound. Plus i put a $2,000 titanium exhaust on the car and lost 2hp over stock.... pair that with a nice K&N drop in filter or FIPK intake and you will be in love.

Then move on to strut/sway.x-brace!!!!

my $.02

 

if its the car in your avatar. please buy an oem lip before anything else! then ap2 wheels and just do the uk mod on your stock exhaust.

 

Why not just add a test pipe to your stock exhaust for the time being and spend your money on 17s and tires?! Best of both worlds!

 

I thought the hks single was pretty quiet?

 

The hks single, 70 and 75mm aren't "quiet" by any means, but they are the best sounding exhausts IMO. Love them.

 

got sbc rpf1 first then berk exhaust

 

If you want performance, skip the wheels and get tires + exhaust.

 

I'm not much on cosmetics.I'd do handling 1st,performance 2nd and looks last.

Exaust

 

At first I did wheels and a UK oem exhaust mod, which sounds great, sounds stock inside the cabin and no drone, but sounds good outside the car.

But then I ended up picking up a Greddy SE dual lol, which you can buy a used one for under $1k, so that can still be an option for you (I picked mine up for $800/traded my modded stock exhaust for a greddy se dual with a 70mm test pipe)

The Greddy sounds great and a lot of people have complimented about how it sounds. It is a lil drony, but it is low pitch, which is better than high pitch drone.
