Extra Money

Hey everyone,

I am still new to mods for cars in particular ACURA TLs. So I looked over my most recent financial statement and it appears that I have about $200 to spend, basically a credit. I was wondering what you think I should get with that. I was thinking something on the performance side since I just got a lot of exterior parts added like, Coilovers, wheels+tires, spoiler, fog lights, cold air intake (AEM V2-had this for about 2 years now, AMAZING). What would you suggest I put some money towards? Exhaust Mufflers.. Ect.

Save up another 100-150$ and get a set of dc sport headers, you wont regret it.

SO you don't think new mufflers would be something to look into?

Mufflers will give you sound, headers will be a noticeable difference

Save up some more money for the next stage of performance !
In the meantime once your suspension settles in, tweak the PM stuff with the other undercarriage parts.
Make sure that ya get a full alignment !!!!!

^ the only thing you can get performance wise for 200$ is a lightweight crank pulley or intake which you already have.

It is the best thing you can do performance wise for the price. It will gain you the most out of any reformable mod brides forces induction or nitrous.
