The next thing I did was get a decent stereo with Bluetooth put in. I just can't live without a good sound system. I settled on the Pioneer AVH4400 BT. Plus I picked up a Proclips iPhone mount to go along with it.

Then it was on with the real mods...

After listening to about 857 YouTube videos, I decided I couldn't live without an FI exhaust. I watched the member used parts forum religiously for weeks before I found one from Mr. Squeeze $950 shipped. It was non resonated but I ended up swapping mid pipes with KaienZ34 to get a 12" resonated midpipe. I was happy and all was good with the world.

I hand polished the scratches out before I got it installed. It took a couple of days but it was worth it. It looked like brand new when I got it installed.

My usual installer did the dirty work...

Once I had it in, I made the comparison video I wish someone else had made before I bought one...

Next, I picked up a set of Swift Springs and Berk HFCs. I actually never installed the Berks and ended up selling them a couple of months later.

Since I'd spent pretty much every penny I had at this point, all I could afford was a can of Plastidip so I got down to business with backing out the emblems and door handles...
