What would you do next and why ? :)

Ok so im thinking about doing some more work on my baby.

1ss auto daily driver.

I have so far :

Lowered springs, CAI and muffler delete. also put a JL system in with 500w amp.

Things im considering - Full cat back system, rims, tune, more suspension work, double din and new head piece, radar detector.

What would you do next and why ?

Thanks!

Full cat back - You already have the delete, no need for it.

rims - looks (stock rims look ok to me)

tune - tune out the amf (unless you like it and prefer it to help with mileage) as it will sound better with your delete, better engine performance, better transmission performance

suspension work - do you need it to handle better? (at the moment I would say no)

double din - are you wanting to do something more than your current radio can handle? (same as above)

radar - false sense of security?



If you don't care about warranty... tune would be the way to go it seems as I value performance over looks.

Long tube headers. Why? Because you'll gain some HP and it'll sound bad ass with your muffler delete. Do a tune at the same time. Like TommyT wrote, you'll get better performance and you won't have to worry about the CEL code the headers with throw.

You really need to set of goal of where you want to be with the car. This will help you make the right choices as to what you should buy for future mods. Like for me, I wanted 600 rwhp, and there was no since in making some purchases. Example, if your going to buy a supercharger down the road, you might not want a set of 1 7/8 headers but go with the 2" instead. full three inch exhaust vs, 2.5, what type of CAI, and the list will go on and on...

Set your goal on what you want the car for too. Mines a weekend toy, so I went a little extreme but still have the driveablity of a daily driver. If you are going to be a gear jammer on the track, then you will want to look into lots of suppesion mods, gears, and drive train along with HP. It's all up to you, there are lots of different forums to help get your going in the right direction! And if you have any specific questions feel free to PM me!
