$700 to spend??? Help ?

Okay I'm getting a little over $700 back from income tax and I really want wheels, but I would have to save up another $400-500 just to get some(unless someone knows other wise?) I plan on getting Konig probably.. But I also want a Exhaust! Now the thing is should I get a cat-back or just go custom pipping with universal muffler? All my friends have customer pipping and after about 1month or so it always starts to sound raspy, is that just what they all sound like or is that because of the custom? I've never heard a cat-back exhaust on a Honda before, does it really sound better? Please fill me in on the Pros and Cons of both! Thanks

I know otherwise. You can get 17's and tires for about $700 on Ebay. Just search through the postings and pick out something you'de like. Take shipping charges into consideration as well. If you find a guy who's selling them where you are, then you might even be able to pick them up instead up having them shipped. Anything is possible.

Have you checked the Discount Direct web site lately? They have some pretty good deals on wheels and tire packages. I saw Konig Traffic's for $100 each (16s I think). I bought a tire and wheel package and it was pretty painless, and you are buying from a fairly reputable bunch so if some catastrophe occurs you have some recourse.

See if you can hook up with the DC TCS2 kit. If you like a nice deep agressive tone but not too overpowering in the sound/cop dept, the TCS2 is for you man! You should be able to afford it with your cash! It's your money though.
