RS*R Ex-mag SST exhaust seems to be a good choice - quiet but quality. May be backordered at some places again though.

I'd personally start with suspension if you haven't done that already.

Alright thanks so far, and for suspension do you mean coil overs or new shocks? And also how should I start engine performance wise?

bolt on's arent going to give you any noticeable performance gains. its not until you get into the internals and/or boost will you see big gains. no with a decent suspension system you'll definitely feel the difference.

you have a few options...

from most expensive to least:
1) full coilovers
2) coilover sleeves and new shocks
3) lowering springs and shocks

I was thinking of going with something like

or http://www.modacar.com/products/Acur...t+Type+SS.html
Do coilovers allow you to raise your car alittle or only lower, because if I had a body kit I wouldnt want to lower it I would want to raise it a tiny bit. But thanks for the help.

Ground Controls/Koni Yellows are better and cheaper than both of those setups. Tein coilovers don't get good until you dump an ass ton of money on one of their higher end systems.

Check out www.redshiftmotorsports.com for the GC/Koni setup.
