Default Budget Changed??

Well, I was about to install TPIS LT headers, a Vig 2800 TC and programming at Speed Demon but now my girlfriend has talk me into buying some Loriners for the Benz. So now it's either the headers or the TC. I know that both are a must but can only choose one. What do you guys think?

Thanks
:cheers:

TC!! Up it to 3000 or 3500 though :) Mine is very drivable but boy does it take off!! Save the programing for later also, like after heads'n Cam or some other major power adder.

I vote for a new girlfriend. :jester Making you choose... That's just wrong. :smash:

Converter would be better for performance. You would get to hear the headers all the time though... (And everytime you do you could remind her what you've given up just to make her happy. ;) ) If it's all about performance, do the TC. I did my headers before my converter and really enjoyed the change in the car.

I was told that I cannot add a Vig 2800 without doing some form of programming. How can I wait?

If you're only swapping the converter (and not gears as well), you should be able to avoid programming. You might be happier adjusting some things, but that's in the "nice to have" rather than "must have" category. Ask your advisor what specific programming changes are required.
