Ok, so. I have stumbled across a large sum of money due to working, etc. And I have decided I am going to spend $500 give or take on my car. Now my question is, what mod should I do?
I was thinking of a mandrel bent cat back system: $495 @ Carline Mufflers Annndd thats about as far as I got, anyway, what other mods are out there that would give me a good bang for my buck? Cheers!!

The exaust mod or extractors would go good. Nicer note and a smigin more power.

Go extractors and exhaust. Should be able to get the lot for $700ish if you bargain with them.

Ok,
So I've decided to really splash out and get an E-series EDIT... But before I do, What kind of gains can I expect from getting one?

Like mentioned before, a cat back exhaust should only be around $250-$300 and the extractors i would be looking at the wreckers, maybe $100? and a 21/2" high flow cat around $100 |

That sounds like a pretty dear price for a cat back exhaust, i think mines worth between $200 and $300.
If your car isnt lowered than do that, otherwise save the money and get some nice wheels.
