$1,300 to spend

Hey guys I Have about $1300 of extra money to spend on my car and i was wondering what mods i should get.

I already have: Eibach springs, hotchkis sway, stillen splitter, injen cai, window tint, grille, vossens, led upgrade.

I was thinking of getting the invidia gemini along with kinetix hfc?? is that a good setup? What other setups are around that price range? I want something thats not too loud and annoying and something thats not so expensive but has an increase in power. im open to all opinions and suggestions. thanks

Forget the HFC's for now, get the Invidia Catback if you like it and some 20mm spacers

I'd definitely go exhaust for performance, sound, and feel. Lots out there for that price...pick what works best for you...

i think im set on getting the invidia gemini but what about hfc? i want something that wont throw the cel and i herd that kinetix wont. kinetix is also the cheapest and the cel count is pretty low at 250.

id leave off the HFC if you still have any warranty left, these cars are speedsters anyway. no sense in wasting a good warranty for some hp and rasp. a catback will do just fine

You mention that your on lowering spring but when switch to coilovers the ride difference is night and day. The xtra cash spend it on coilovers...won't regret it.
