But my question is that I want to modify it with an intake and exhuast sytem, but want to keep it with minimal noise, but still want the power for freeway traveling here in Houston Tx. I'm looking at the injen and AEM and TRD exhuast. I know that the injen is good, but is it loud? Can any you young experienced guy's help me recommend a system set up?
Since you use the word "conservative", I'd suggest that you try the car in its stock configuration before you go for modifications. It's surprisingly quick.

I just wanted to let you all know that. They are here! I'm a sales rep for Don McGill Katy and I got an xa and B this morning. We cannot retail them until Feb 3. But it might be a good idea if you for color purposesor other modifications. Questions, you can call

Hey! What does your exhaust tip look like? I wsa thinking about the TRD mufler, butam concerned about the noise and since power gains from the exhaust is minimal at best, I thought maybe I could get a neat tip at least. Did you find a good place for them and any recommendations or tip tips to share?

Cool beans!
