Best way to spend ~$200

[kTrainHurricane]

i was planning on doing a custom exhaust cause the shop said it would be like $170+tax, but when i went back today to get the job done they said $350+tax ...so now i have an un-spent $200 i was lookin to put to good use. Mods i've already done are in my sig. Any suggestions on what to do with this extra money? (WITHOUT sarcasm PLEASE!)

How did you get an extra $200 if the job cost more than what was estimated the first time?

so since you guys are posting the alkycontrol website does that mean i should get that one over the one on FullThrottleSpeed? Is it worth the extra $80?

 

[novaderrik]

how did the cost to get the exhaust done double in price like that?

good freakin question i was askin myself the same thing lol. he said it was gonna be $85 per side for 3" exhaust over the axel, out the sides and everything whatever. i go back, then he started adding more stuff - $75 for a Y-pipe, $60 per side for piping from the Y-pipe to the "over the axel" pipes, and it ended up coming to $365, so he "cut me a deal" and said $350+tax

The FTS speed price is 454.99, and you need a 3 bar MAP sensor which is another 74.99=529.98

From me its 530.00

Put your $200 in the stock market. :biggrin:

 

[charlief1]

Send it to me and I'll make good use of it for you.:biggrin: Seriously I will.:biggrin:
Put the money up and hang on to it for a while. Add more monthly until you get about 1k saved and then invest it for maximum yeild. With the market going crazy right now there are some good deals out there and in the next year you should be able to make a load if you play it right.

Buy a used SMC alky kit. It is not as nice as Razor's kit (i've used and installed both) but, if you have budget constraints you can get a nice used SMC kit right here for around that price...

Plug for Julio "Razor" he is very helpful with any TB questions plus great support with his product. I started with SMC, IMHO SMC was not near the kit that Julio sells.
