Default Bad influence!!

I was gonna leave my 04 MN6 coupe bone stock and then you guys started talking about Vararams etc. Then to top it all off, Gulf Coast Performance has it for a super low price with free shipping. You guys on the forum are a bad influence. Next thing you know I'll be changing heads ,cam and adding headers.
