Default got some $$$$ looking for advice

i got payed for working over the summer so i have a little spending money so i was wondering. some one sugested to me that i get hooker aerochambers and just replace everything from the muffler back (dont know what the call that). so this is what i was thinking 2.75in 3out and the offset or what ever that it needs. so here is another question, will the corsa split dual tip work for my idea. OOO almost forgot are the aerochambers c.a.r.b. legal+ will any exhaust shop do the swap?

I would do something else before the exhaust...

I would get a custom tune and maybe a CAI.... To start off with...

and then maybe some transmission stuff like Shiftkit servos....

Then on to the Cam and FI

i did headers, muffler swap, and cold air intake. ran the time in my sig. my opinion is go to the track first, then do either cam, stall, tune, nitrous, or forced induction.

i dont think you would be satisfied with the performance gain from bolt ons. however, if you are looking for the "performance sound" then it would be worth it, but ONLY for the sound.

I think the Corsa tips are pretty, but dmn, have you checked the price? You could buy other stuff that will make a difference for the same price or less than just the tip.

I dont have a CAI yet, and I think its really holding me back. I would definatly get the tune first. Then probably the cai and exhaust. They kind of work together like a heads,cam, and header set up do.
How much $$ are we spending for ya?
BTW I looked at doing the same thing with the tips, if I remember right they are about $300, but you could check their website.
