Default next on the list?

Aright this is what I've done so far on my 08 Tc...

*Mods*
-Tint 20% in front, and 5% in back.
-Injen Cold Air Intake.
-TWM Stage 2 Short shifter.
-HKS Axle Back Exhaust.
-Progress Lowering Springs (1.8 Front & Rear).

*Car Audio*
-Pioneer Avic-D3.
-Alpine Type-R components (front).
-Alpine Type-R 6.5 (back).
-Alpine Type_R 12" Sub.
-Alpine 4ch & Mono Amps.

I'll be adding the TRD Supercharger by the end of the year.

So while i wait for that Im trying to find more performance parts but not sure what or who to go with...?

I would go either 2 routes

1) megan s-pipe + megan midpipe
2) get nothing save for ptuning header back 3" exhaust ... this exhaust made the most hp on a stock supercharged tc ...

you can also get the DME header, nst lite pulley but it might mess up the warranty

I would hold off wait to get the ptuning exhaust and just get some lightweight wheels, 15-17 lb wheels will change the look of the car and have a great effect on off the line acceleration and braking.

pass smog.... again, axleback exhaust.

modify the intake, wont pass CARB
modify the midpipe, removes the cat, wont pass smog OR CARB

if you TOUCH the supercharger at all it's carb OK goes down the drain
