I am saving up for something new for my car to install this spring, but I only have cash for one. I can either:

A) Buy a Circuit Sport V2 Shifter w/ Boot (mine leaks) - $102

or

B) Buy a CXRacing Catback Exhaust on eBay (i dont have one) - $123 shipped

What do you think?

sounds like a winner, that is unless the price goes up lol. exhaust and boot replacement it is! i'll probably buy this by Friday.

We are supposed to get like 5" of snow by tomorrow and thats kind of my job, so i should make around $70 tomorrow morning, and then i'll have enough. I'll also put the exhaust on the "eBay Thread" thats stickied. Thanks everyone for letting me bounce this off of all you lol

Like a piece of pipe that terminates under the car. ie = no muffler or catalytic converter. That is in no way legal or sane.

I vote save your money for quality parts. Don't buy no name crap just to have mods.

im not buying "no name crap". Plus, i myself cannot justify anything over $300 for a catback exhaust and i also am only running half an exhaust. once i get paid, im purchasing the CXRacing one

well i just purchased the CXRacing Catback today, $123 out the door. Hopefully it'll be here by the end of the week or by mid-next week. I'll post a review in the eBay thread. now i have a full exhaust from the manifold back (no its not JUST to have mods either)
