LG is top notch when it comes to exhaust. Maybe you should contact Matt over at 21st Century Muscle in Addison and see if he has an answer for you. You might have to get a new tune.

I found out that I could make the payments on a 250k lambo if I just got rid of my house and moved back in with my mom. (No I won't be, I'm married and to old for that.) I make about 50k a year and no habbits or hobbies, no cable and no kids.

Ya can't take it with you....

Lol this question was on my mind also.

Money I spend on my car isn't a whole lot, but I save my money till I have enough.

I also buy my parts used, which saves me quite a bit

Simple, me and my wife have worked since we were 16, yes we have been together that long. We are now 45. We have no kids, both are retired from the Air Force and now work as Civilians on Base. We are both retiring in 5 years again. If you start out smart with your money, even if it was $3.25 an hour back then you can do what you want when you get our age. $20K plus has been put in this Car. Plus neither of us has ever had a credit card.

I don't make $$$,$$$ but I save up for my mods. So far I have not spent much on my Camaro but I have saved enough for some big mods incase I want to.

AzItaliaSS · 03-11-2012, 05:55 PM

From C5? or do you have other contacts for used parts?
Just asking because seems to not be alot of new gen camaro stuff on craigslist, etc.

From the camaro5 marketplace. There's really no difference when buying new/used exhaust. I mean it's not like it has to look pretty or anything.

ChargedCamaro · 03-11-2012, 06:34 PM

I have my own business and work quite a bit. 2 kids, house payment and low CC debt, but like most said its how you mange your money.

Just out of curiosity... how old is everyone? 28 here

Unfortunately I learned this the hard way. They are way too easy to use, and will have you in a hole that will take years to get out of.
Modding my car is more of a hobby than an investment. Kinda like hunting or fishing. Whenever I get a few extra bucks, it goes in the car.

boltmark · 03-11-2012, 07:14 PM

We are mid 40's, worked hard since 16. Now we have no worries and can spend what ever we want on what ever we want. No kid, no credit cards (never had one) and have paid cash for everything since day one. Pretty easy shit.
