Default Update on my Vehicle

Alright, so I guess I'll fill you all in on my car.

I know I havent psted too much about it recently but its been a work in progress with a paycheck that covers insurence, car payments, food, and car parts.

So, i guess ill post what I have done recently since I last updated you guys.

I purchased a Vibrant Exhuast system with the full intention to get a custom bent 2.25" exhuast tube becuase I know a guy who does it. So i purchased that early last week. As well, I have purchased a 60mm Throttle Body.

Headers are next on my list, but it will be a while.

I was wondering if anyone had a good brand to recommend. I am looking for something that will fit nicely but offer the performance i expect.

Other than that, I will post pictures for all to eye goggle the second its all in. I did purchase as well a shortened antenna to get rid of the ugly thing that came stock on my neon. It will look really nice when i got everything in.

Haha. btw, plan on LOTS of pictures to be on here when I do get them. Expect pictures on the 27th or the 28th.

what you think?

If you think about the Pacesetter, get the armor coated one b/c it'll last longer. IF I were you I'd get a Borla header or something. Spend the extra money.

thanks man. Yea. Im willing to spend as much as I need to get the best thing for my vehicle. So, price isnt the problem. It's just i would like to know your general opinions. Borla Headers eh? Ill look into setting a budget up for them.

They'll last forever. The OBX looks nice too b/c it's stainless steel; I just doubt they'll last as long as the B. If u want quick performance and don't want to spend as much money get an armor coated header. It's all up to you.

Just remember that Borla's Neon headers are discontinued, but maybe you can find one on ebay or something.
Good luck man, I love my headers.

Alright. The exhuast is on and it sounds REALLY nice. It seems like it lost a bit of power though. Im hoping the new throttle body, which arrives next week, will add some more.
