I'm getting ready to get another mod for my car, but I'm not sure which mod to go with.
1st. option: forgestar f14 20" wheels, gunmetal, for now I will use my stock tires or
2nd. option: borla s-type catback.

I would like to know or get opinions from you guys as to which option to go with. I have the cai intake and hotckis lowering springs. and the car is all black. ss

any opinions will be appreciated. and if anyone has pictures of the f14 gun metal on a black ss. please post them thanks!!!

I say option 2 because the rims on the 2SS/RS are amazing as is. Plus performance > cosmetics I think as well.

I have the Borla S type Catback, and must say it really make a difference in the car. Louder and more power

But go with your 1st instinct. You wont regret it

comm17 · 05-17-2011, 10:24 PM

I say exhaust!!!

Check out the Borla ATAK though sounds mean but is quieter in the cabin.

TripleB · 05-17-2011, 10:32 PM

i've got the borla s type catback on my car and love it!! wish i had gotten it sooner! that's my recommendation.

HaubSS · 05-17-2011, 10:59 PM

I say wheels. If you have the money for tgem, do that first. Catbacks cost a fraction of wheels. Plus nothing changes the look and attitude of your car like its wheels.

MustangHater · 05-17-2011, 11:43 PM

I will go with exhaust. I got a v6 but I can't get enough of my gibson axel back. Stock wheels are sick

Chito · 05-18-2011, 12:15 AM

Thanks for all the opinions. Still thinking about it and the reason why I'm thinking of the s-type is because eventually I'm getting the kooks lt headers and with the atak I think it will get louder. Still deciding!!!

Inferno LSX · 05-18-2011, 01:01 AM

Option 2! Exhaust! I wanted to do the F14s, but in 22's and matte black. Those are some sic wheels. Came across a smoking deal on Forgelines and couldn't pass them up. But anyways go with exhaust first.

Steves · 05-18-2011, 10:49 AM

I vote exhaust. Just a slight clarification on your post S type and Atak are 2 different systems. The S Type is a bit less aggressive. I have the Atak with Borlas LT headers and it is Way Loud. Have fun with your modding

2010SSRSM6 · 05-18-2011, 11:27 AM

Depending on the amount of $$ you've got to spend and what your final goals are is where I would start.

Rims are nice, exhaust is nice, cam or headers.......... now we're talkin

These are the two biggest performance mods you can do without going FI.

Where do you want to end up when all is done?

Good luck with your choice.

Chito · 05-18-2011, 12:26 PM

thanks for all the opinions, I know that the atak and the s-type are 2 different set ups and If I end going with the exhaust it will be the s-type just for the simple fact that in the future I will get the LT headers and I don't want it to be 2 loud. I want the exhaust, the headers and a tune in the future, but I also want the rims. for now my dilemma continues because I'm right in the middle. If anyone knows of a killer deal on either the rims or the exhaust I think that would break the dilemma. thanks for all the opinions.
