Your Canadian currency would best be spent on some metric headers, metric high flow converter and metric cat back, along with a metric afpr. I don't think you need the metric high flow runners yet. You should see an improvement in your 0-100 kph or whatever your speedo says. Take that, my neighbor to the north!!

I agree with you about the freakish "US" currency, because in reality it is not US currency at all... But it IS a federal reserve note. I think your Canadian currency is owned and controlled by the same international bankers though. With that being said, I also agree that the first place to start is the exhaust with a pair of headers and a 3 inch cat back, save the money on the runners though untill you replace the base with an aftermarket one.

man i wasnt trying to start a war...i was immplying that ur currency is freakishly more then ours. so u guys would make a huge list cause what ever u say i gotta put the exchange rate on it. so 1000 US would buy alot more then i could afford. You see now? so take that my (many) neighbor(s) to the south
Thanks for the ideas. Im thinking mac exhaust to be different but no one else has one that can vouch.. i gues it might be the price to pay to be different.
p.s KNTA4DNU who needs convertors. whats emissions
