Id wait to get a good and relatively quiet exhaust, so that way you could prove your parents wrong, and actually show and let them hear the difference between good equipment, and slapped together parts.

Definetily wait for the catback. That will make a huge difference in your gains, and not to metnion you'll hear your motor perform with a turbo!

I haven't opened it yet but it is the greddy stage 1 kit with ball bearing upgrade and intercooler upgrade
I am looking at the invoice now.

Thing that is kinda lame is that I am having a shop install it. I jsut can't afford to mess up but I will be watching prolyl the whole time


And to the person who said that I should do what I want to it. THe car is my parents name cause I don't pay for gas or insurance or anything. They were nice enough to give it to me. Also the college I will be enrolling at in fall is about 35,000 a year. I don't demand anything.

what does the tornado have anything to so whith an exhuast? If you're talking about that gas mileage saver, its a waist of money. Save up for the exhuast, at the end you'll be very happy that you did. You can get brand new good catback on ebay for around $255 shipped.

Get that thing on there. No way I would wait. Pete rocked his turbo for a while with the stock exhaust. A cat-back will be one more thing to look forward to, because take it from me, when you boost, the upgrades are few and far between. Besides, you can prove you Dad wrong when it's all quiet with the stock exhaust.

Like I said....."wait, save up more cash". pete put his turbo on and didn't do anything else at the time, and look at the problems he has had. Don't forget sniper, 2000EX wants to prove to his parents that a turbo is a "good thing", and not have the car into a shop all the time, especially if 2000EX isn't mechanically inclined.
So 2000EX, do it right so that your parents see how good a turbo is, don't screw around and do things half-a$$.
