Also depends on budget. I like to buy the expensive stuff first.

Go to Etoytota.com I got mine for 499 and then you just pay the shipping. Find somewhere cheaper to install also a local exhaustp laced bolted it on in 10 minutes for 50 bucks. It's extremely easy and I would of did it myself it I had a lift but oh well. Just find someplace cheaper to install. Last edited by Mike00; Jul 1, 2003 6:16pm.

I hope you weren't oging to go with whatever majority was. Everyone has their own opinion on modding. This is a perfect example. It all comes down to what you are feeling most. The hardest part about modding a car is deciding what to do first. I am sure you will make the right decision. Good luck. Dan

Why dont you shop around for the exhaust online? Im sure you can get it cheaper somewhere else. As for the install ive heard it is quite easy to do, and that would save you $127.50.
