im getting a full magnaflow catback sytem for 300$ installed (i knowamazing price :) )
and an AEM v2 around 350$ installed

which will give me more power cause i only have money for one of them right now :(

RE: which first?
 

installed wtf? its simple to bolt them up it really doesnt take a mechanic. imo go with the exhaust

RE: which first?
 

yah but i couldnt freaking buy a magnaflow system for that pric and put it on myself for that price

or your talking the v2? i might have to move the bumper and cut a whole if its a cai for my year...

RE: which first?
 

You don't have to cut a hole. The V2 is made to fit your car, not made for your car needto adapt to it.
And don't pay someone to install that stuff. It's pretty simple to install them both. No special tools needed.

RE: which first?
 

I would go with the intake, I bought my car used with both, but I'm pretty sure you don't need to cut a hole, it just fits neatly behind the bumper.

RE: which first?
 

The hole in the bumper serves two purposes:

1. It allows you to easily remove and replace the filter for cleaning.
2. You can see how dirty the filter is as any time.

If you haven't installed an intake or exhaust before and have no one to show you, have it done by the shop, especially for those prices.
