can't decide hks or c-west
 

I've been thinking and can't decide whether to buy the hks titanium tip dual exhaust or the carbonfiber c-west halfkit. Any suggestions? Looks of the bodykit, or the sound/performance of the exhaust.

Do you already have aftermarket wheels & suspension? If no, go with the exhaust. IMO...it'll look much better to add your kit once you get aftermarket wheels & suspension. Not saying it doesn't look good with the OEM but it'll look a lot better.

I have volk gt-c (19x9.5/19x10.5) gunmetal on ppw

bodykit

In that case, bodykit. I know the HKS exhaust is quite expensive so if you still want the sound/performance but easier on pocket, upgrade your cats &/or y-pipe for now. Then save up for your exhaust. That's just me though. It's up to you if you need the performance more or the looks. Either way, I'm sure you're going to get one or the other sooner or later. It just depends which one you will install first ;).

I say exhaust first. Thats just me, but I always like to have enough "go" to back up the "show". The exhaust won't give you that much power, but it will make the car sound much meaner. Also with the stock exhaust, your tips will probably be sticking inside and it will be hard to see the tips with the rear lip on.
