Just ordered mine, outstanding service from Eric, thanks a bunch. I know these are quality products because seen them around for years on other forums and always heard great stuff.
mine is sitting in my receiving room along with my rear view camera waiting to be installed.

Most catback exhaust setups aren't going to give you much performance on their own (you also need a header, tune, etc).

Best bang for the buck, if you want:

Power:

1) Ecutek Tune

2) Header (many options here)

Handling:

1) Upgrade from crap stock tires to summer tires

2) Swift springs

3) Thicker anti-sway bar

Response/Feel of your auto tranny:

1) 4.55-4.7X Final drive ratio

Braking:

1) New front brake pads for street/track and fluid

IMO Your best bang for your buck if you want more HP/TQ via bolt-ons are

-Engine Tune via EcuTek through a tuner here or locally.
-Headers (EL give a bit more power, but UEL gives the car a more boxer sound) Either type provide you get decent ones help really minimize the TQ dip
-Over pipe/front pipe

Thats really it unless you want to go FI. The rest is really up to you. Rims, tires, springs, exhaust(better sound) etc...

Is it just me or are your DRLs on as well as your HIDs?? (And I noticed that you have the light bar DRLs where the fog lights go too!)
I'm up to 300 miles now. I can't help but take it out for a spin every day. I'm looking forward to the 1000 mile break in.

The HIDs are just glare from the shot. I do want them on all the time, but it's the standard wiring for now.

The light bar is offered by Gulf States Toyota. They charge too much compared to the links given by some other members; but I like how they look. It's operated by a switch under the steering wheel similar to the glowing dash switch.

Is it just me or does this silver ignition in the shade make the car look sharky? Extra sharkiness with the shark fin antenna. Nice.

I just had the car tinted. 50% front and 35% back. I think it really helps to bring out the color and lines of this car.
