Have the SPI with Automatic Transmission. Already have the 60mmTB with Volant CAI. I'm going to wait for the chip so I get some more aggressive shift points. Which brings me to my point.
I just don't feel that the cat back exhaust would be a good mod to do considering the amount of HP you'll get; let alone that I feel you won't get to see the performance in an auto. If it were a manual yes, but for the auto I just don't think so. Plus it's the fiance's car and sometimes she drives slow enough to drive Miss Daisy. Therefore I was thinking about just getting a glasspack added from a local muffler shop for like $100.
What are your ideas on a good brand of muffler that will give some descent sound as well as a good look?
Like everyone is saying dont do it. It will sound like poo and no gains. Why wouldnt you want to get a cat back? I mean your saying your gonna get a chip. You will get some better gains with that on there also. I personally cant wait for it to come out from fs. Ive got an auto also. But with more agressive shifting and pulling at higher rpms. Unlike how stock cuts you off with it :/ It will be great
Yea, maybe I'll wait for the chip to come out, then make the decision then. It's just when I added the 60mm tb and then the volant intake I was expecting more. If this car was manual, I'm sure I'd be enjoying it more, but it's the little lady's and she's not a very aggressive driver.....(gotta try to change that)
Anyway, going to do some other cheap mods like the focussport wires and some NGK-R plugs. Hopefully the chip will be out in a month or so.

Yeah like I said. Since we have autos. A chip will really help us out. Im sure a nite and day difference. Ill ive got on mine is intake exhaust and spark plug wires. My udp and tb will be here for me at the end of the month! Then after that. Headers and a chip. Then ill probably call it a day for the spi.
