I know I'm DEFINETLY purchasing the UTEC. I can get ahold of them at dealer cost, so I'm not too worried about it. But I still have another 300 dollars or so to spend, and don't know which direction to go:

I already have a TXS stealthback with high flow cat, K&N typhoon, Tein springs, whiteline steering bushings...

should i get the UTEC and complete the full TBE with a TXS axleback?

should i get the UTEC and SS cobb brakelines, and possibly a short shifter with kartboy bushings?

should i get the UTEC and SS cobb brakelines, and perrin rear swaybar/endlinks?

I do want to improve the sound of my car, but everyone says the axleback is a VERY SMALL gain, and not worth my time.

Any help appreciated.

$150 on tuning then $100 on a generic 3" muffler and $25-50 to have someone weld it on.

Well if I do exhaust work, I'd rather go with an axleback rather than rigging it up like on my civic. It had 2 1/2" s/s piping and an HKS carbon-ti universal muffler, universal ss high flow cat... kind of ghetto-welded together.

The tuning I can get done for next to nothing. I just have to hook up my buddy who will let me use the AWDyno at his shop for a few hours.

I really would like the sound improvement on the TXS full TBE as well. Anyone have a sound clip of the full TXS turbo-back exhaust?

Thanks!

i would definitely complete the exhaust. I went stealthback at first, and was much happier when I added the catback. If not exhaust, then I'd go for a kartboy and shifter, best bang for the buck imo.

Nice little cheap upgrade... turbo spools a tick faster thats about it.
