wheels or exhaust?
At the moment ive got a standard exhaust and standard wagon wheels. Cannot decide which to change first. Ive seen a few alloys I like for the vette but what I really wanna ask you lot is what the best exhaust for sounds and looks. Ive seen a video on the Loudmouth which sounds nice and meaty and looks the part to if im not mistaken?
What do you people think? Opions please?
Cheers

I vote for a exhaust first. I currently run Borla Stingers when I want sounds. THese are very loud with headers. With stock manifolds they give a very deep throaty sound. There are many other brands to choose from. B@B, Corsa, Bassini, Borla, just to mention a few.

I personally would do the wheels first - will get noticed right away.

Exhaust first. When you're driving the car, assuming by exhaust you mean headers, you'll feel and hear the difference. You won't be seeing the wheels while you're driving. Bottom line is what's most important to you

Tough descisions LoL.. I'd do both.. ha ha..
Well exhaust is less noticeable from an appearance then the big 17/18 inch wheels or whatever size you go with but the exhaust will be less money then the wheels...
B&B Bullets are awesome you will get noticed for the sound and the looks of the tips is beautiful.. thats my opinion.. let me know if I can help you in anyway..

If you have the money go for the wheels. Wheels on a car are the single most noticeable mod. Then get the exhaust later. Whatever you drive, wheels make all of the difference if appearance is your major focus. It also sets your car apart from all the rest(makes it truly unique). I did the exhaust first, but because at the time I did not have the money for wheels.

I went with wheels first then exhaust. The new wheels made it look much newer. To me anyway. I got both my wheels and my Corsa Pace Car exhaust used off the forum!

exhaust!!
just to be different...but seriously I got my borla stingers + x pipe, and some other mods, NOW i'm ready to change out the wagon wheels..new wheels would change the outside appearance a lot though..although i couldn't live without the rumble of the borlas..
either one is a good choice!
