I got the ITCH!

Anyways...this isnt my first Rodeo. I only have a GEN-3 so I started tweeking and ordered ****. This weekend I ordered my Eibach Race Spring kit, or whatever..the 2.0'' drop, A brand new ARK cat-back exhaust with titanium tips, My auto-x Carbon Fiber Grille with Mr.Fuji, Some H&R 25mm Spacers for the rear, and some tinted tails that I am still contemplating to put on.

Anyways, on to the next thing. I was really thinking about getting wheels but started leaning more towards performance. I think the G is sexy as it is with the 19s and all it needs is a good drop and to be widened out a little bit.

Now. What is my next best option (Keep in mind that I don't want the G to be obnoxiously loud..My m3 was and it kind of took away from it)

a) Highflow cats, headers
b) test-pipes, headers
c) Custom Tune

d) And obviously My desired set up would be, HFC, Headers, Custom tune


What in the end is going to sound sexier? I was thinking Headers and HFCs.

I'm assuming you're not interested in the Fujitsubo anymore?

Forget headers. Do HFC's or test pipes (if you don't mind a little smell and some rasp.)

Yeah your G shouldn't be obnoxious with the Ark/gen3/HFC combo. Custom tune after that should make for some good power

It doesn't!

With everything else you are adding you should be pretty happy with the sound. I love mine and only have Injen CAI and Invidia. (No HFC or TP or Headers)

It's really only "loud" when you are WOT..

Cruising, slow drives through town etc.. (When cops can hear) it is very low, just a bit deeper than stock..

With the CAI+Exhaust it is DEF MUCH louder than stock.. Have someone drive your car so you can hear it from the outside..

IMO, go with HFC's (or test pipes) then a tune. I've got FI HFC's and an HKS Hi-power exhaust and it mos def gets loud at WOT but it fairly mellow at lower RPMs.
