Default Dont know where to start or what brands to get

Hi everyone. My name is Matt and about 2 months ago I bought a 99 eclipse. It has the O.Z. rally racing rims and the O.Z rally 10th aniversarry wing on it. I want to put headers an exhaust system, CAI and a pulley kit. I also want to put a sound system in it and do some interior modifications. I have done a little research and I am thinking about going with a Borla cat back exhuast system, AEM pulley kit and CAI, and greddy headers. If you know of something better or dont like one of those brands please let me know. thanks.

welcome to the forum.... havent heard anything bad about those brands yet..... just make sure you get all the parts with the AEM CAI, cause i ordered mine and they sent the wrong one, had to rig it up, works great though.........

if you aren't worried about the money... tanabe for the exhaust, unorthadox for the pullies, AEM is good for the intake, and GReddy headers are primo... otherwise, you seem to be set with your setup. money always makes a difference in deciding which way to go

BurntGSX, thanks for your advice. Do you know anything about Borla exhuast systems? I had a friend with a 10 second supra and he told me that Borla exhuast systems sound nice on eclipses but that guy moved away so I havent been able to talk to him since. Also, how much do tababe echaust systems run for cat-back down?

yeah, I know a couple guys that are runnin a borla, they sound very throaty (good thing) and they are reasonably priced... I won't say anything bad cause I don't know, the only reason I am not going with a borla is that I'm brand specific, and since I have a lot of Apexi in my car already, I figure I'll just keep it that way. that way things match up and all that good stuff. I've never seen a dyno with a borla so I couldn't tell you how it compares, but I know they make VERY good exhausts, so...
