hey guys, i'm considering doing ONE of the above mods first, either a fujita or K&N intake OR a nismo exhaust. Don't have money to do BOTH right now. Which one mod would you do first?

Fair enuff. I guess i do have money for both, but i have issues with spending a large amount of money at one time...it makes me feel better if i spread it out over a couple weeks i guess lol. 150 for the fujita? Can you let me know where? Was checking ebay, and 160 shipped was the best price i could find (best offer). Only a $10 diff, but every dollar counts :p

I'm gonna say exhaust, you will hear and feel the difference more so than the intake, plus after spending $700, $150 will feel like change lol

I went with an intake first - gives a little bit better throttle response. I didn't notice much other than sound with my exhaust... Of course, I upgraded that 2 weeks after the intake.

damn eh...well, i ordered the fujita in championship bronze. I'll probably end up doing the exhaust within a month from now. How is the exhaust for freeway driving? is it pretty loud in the cabin? Just wondering coz i commute to work about 3.5h of freeway driving on the weekdays.

I don't have the Nismo exhaust (sedan with Stillen exhaust) but like rcboy there was a drone around 2k that annoyed me, but after break-in, it is much less noticeable. I've been very pleased with it since.

DAMN!!! Buy a new house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of the time you won't notice anything...the engine isn't working that hard (2k-3k) so it is pretty minimal.
