Guys I can really use some advise...
Some of you with the berk duel muffler delete seem to really like it and I'm going back and forth. Should I pull the trigger on it instead of saving my pennies for something bigger like a tune?
Berk Pros: Sounds good? I have never heard one in person..just videos. (looking for a deep mean sound lol...not too loud) Cons: no real performance gain for $360 Tune Pro: POWER Con: money I guess haha I'm 22 and in college so working park time doesn't allow a huge payroll. Having a small mod budget what would you do? Buy Berk now and resave for tune or skip berk and get a tune faster? THANK YOU GUYS & GIRLS

I'd personally go, Springs, wheels tires, then tune, then power mods.

I'd put a Perrin pulley on it. It was the first mod part I bought, and I waited until just recently to install it. The car is noticeably more lively with one. That's just over $100. With the $200 you have left I'd vote some better springs for the stock struts.

lol, everyones reply is going to be different as you can see. You obviously would enjoy either one of these mods, so i would flip a coin. Its a win win situation.

Out of those, tune would be a better bet.

I would think you would want to do exhaust first, as doing a tune later would be better once the exhaust is on, otherwise you may need/want to do another tune after the exhaust.
Just my 2c
