Best things to do?
I have about $400 right now, and i was thinking about tinting the windows, flowmaster, or blackouts. I just recently got a K & N air filter. So any suggestions on what you would do?
And also, i've been wanting to get blackouts for my car for a long time, but they are always out of stock. I have an 89 Firebird Formua. Do you know where I could get blackouts? Thanks a lot guys!

I would choose the exhaust first over the blackouts, but you should be able to easily get both with that money. You thinking the cat back system or just the muffler?

If I had $400.00 laying around for my 89FB_Formula I would get the flows or a nice hurst shifter.

Get headers, the cat-back won't do too much good with out headers. When you get a cat-back go with Hooker. Check out the exhaust board for sound clips, and I personally love mine.

Is it true if you get headers then you will have a true dual exhaust?
If I got headers could I keep My catback 80 series flowmaster?
