Default it starts................

After a few months driving a stock TC, I have finally put in my first mod! Whoop Whoop!

I got my Injen CAI (for now it's a short ram). This first mod has snowballed into me getting my Kenwood DDX 8017 installed today.....and I have my Hyper 5ZR and tein springs coming in on tuesday or wednesday....then my Injen Catback Exhaust hopefully in a couple of weeks. Oh no! The transformation has begun....


LOL.

But yah I'm excited.

I'll post pics when I get around to it.

I know what you mean, modding up your car can be contagious and expensive, once you start you can't stop. I estimate I'ved spent about close to $3grand now and I haven't even begun with the big stuff yet. Don't get me wrong, I love what I'm doing thou . By the way happy modding to you.

Yah...I just found out it's axle back. Oh well...I still heard good things about it. What other exhaust can I get? Since the shop still has to order the Injen and he might have something else already in stock, any recommendations?

Oh by the way, I got the Kenwood 6017 not 8017. I knew $1200 installed out the door for 8017 was too good to be true. But I got the 6017 for less since he misquoted me. He gave me the 6017/7017 price but since he messed up...he gave me a prett good discount from the original price.

I actually changed my mind and went for the HKS exhaust as well.
