Need helping modding 370z and such (total noob/ricer)

[pknpatrickn]

Hi,

I currently drive a 2007 MB CL550, but back when I was only 16 I was using my dads 2003 MB s500 and I totaled it. I feel like I owe him a car, and even though the price difference is well over 50 grand, I figured I'd just sell the car over to him for cheap. I told him to help pay half price of a brand new car for me, and I'd like to give my car over to my dad. Well, he agreed and I decided to purchase a 2011 Nissan 370z. I learned to drive a manual transmission a couple years ago and I'm not very good at it, and I know practice makes perfect, but I'd rather just make it simple on me and I'll be purchasing the automatic transmission version. I know I will be losing a lot of street credit/respect by driving an automatic and not knowing anything about cars, but I'd really appreciate it if there's anyone on this forum that would still be willing to help me. Below is what I'm trying to do...

I'm not worried about speed because I never go to the track and I live in a small city anyways. But my friends and I always like to go out and cruise on the weekends and here and there we'll do drag races off the line at a stop light. I'd still like a moderately fast car, which I believe just a stock 370z would already be up there among the cars I cruise with. My goal is not to gain horsepower/speed, but I'd like for my car to "look/sound nice"...

so what i'm trying to say is, are there any exhaust systems you could recommend me? Or does the cat-back exhaust system they offer as an add-on sound nice? I want a car that's pretty loud, but doesn't sound crappy. A nice loud and deep tone that would sound even better in a parking garage. Also, a lot of my friends cars are turbo or supercharged...I LOVE the sound of the turbo and superchargers. Especially the blow-off valve of the turbo chargers. Is there any cheap way of getting those sounds to my car? I do expect quality parts, but the amount of extra HP and such I couldn't care less about. Let me know if you have any suggestions or can help put me in the right direction.

Budget: $8,000 for add-ons - I'd like to save as much as possible.

this budget is for both parts and installations at the dealer or wherever you recommend I take my car to get stuff done.

thank you very much!!

P.S. I'll be buying a 370z here in a week or so
