Im just stuck on making up my mind right now if I should get the springs or the y-pipes.

I have a 3.5 with UD pulley, AEM intake, and Borla exhaust. Any insights or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I would also purchase one Y-shaped pipe. Finish what you started with the rest of your mods, then move on to springs.

Yea I was leaning towards the y pipe but I mean is it really going to give me that much more where I shouldnt get the springs right now?

For one thing my car just looks dumb that far in the air and I wouldn't mind the better handling but at the same time Im hearing the pipes make your exhaust sound so much better and gives you some more whp.

I dont know if its asking to much but if anyone can give me true personal experience type pros and cons that would be great. I can read all day but most of it is prob going to be bs trying to sell so any help would be AWESOME.

My personal experience...

Springs
Pros: Better look, SLIGHTLY better handling
Cons: Have to pay to have them installed if you arent a do it yourselfer, have to pay for alignment(s) after they are installed, possibility for issues arising from their installation greater (dealing with this right now)

Y Pipe:
Pros: Increased performance, SLIGHTLY more aggressive sound
Cons: None that I have experienced

Y pipe then Springs or maybe Coil-overs depending on your needs/wants.

At the end of the day if you are going to get both just flip a coin if you are undecided!
