Hey guys.
I recently bought a 1999 silver Galant ES.
I'm looking into cosmetic as well as peformance mods that won't completely kill my wallet. Any suggestions?

Hey welcome to TGC.
First, look through the Member's Rides section to help you build an idea of what you would like to do cosmetically and what's available. Then, you can browse the tutorials section for simple performance mods like an intake and exhaust to start you off.
Alright, thanks guys. What do you think about ebay catbacks like this one?

When I feel like eating a banana, I like to go to the zoo, sucker punch a gorilla and try to run with a banana hanging out my bum. Then if I succeed, I enjoy my victory with said banana and a stroopwaffle.
i would never buy anything that i couldnt hear first on someone else's car lol
but i think a couple of people have bought those and had them for a short period of time then went to magna flow for a less ricey sound
My friend has an exhaust by the same seller on his 240sx, and it sounds really nice. He said it was easy as hell to install, and he took it to shops and they didn't believe how much he paid for it.
And yeah, I might eventually go the magnaflow route, I just don't have the money atm.
I'll post pics of my car soon...pretty funny. :P
hey whats the fuse ratings on that kenwood amp u got (im trying too figure its true power). does it have 2 25a fuses or what?
It has 2 30a fuses, i believe.
ty
no problem!
i also would recommend getting a ported box...mine's sealed and it distorts way earlier than it would if it could push all that air out.
how many cubes is the boxOriginally Posted by ATLpromotional
im a car audio installer so i know a lil bit about this kind of stuff i just havnt realy done too much with the new and improved kenwood stuff and from the looks of it they still have a while to go. i go for the big stats 2000 true watts or more
Oh, yeah definitely man. I mean mine sounds decent, but I think I should've gone with the Crunch amp instead.
And I have no idea on the cubes. All I know is that it's a q-logic.
Here's a pic:

Welcome :) always nice to have another member on board !
as far as exaust goes myself, i just bought a OBX muffler, then had a local shop make me a custom 2.3/4 " exaust . Was definaty a cheaper route, and i wanted to keep my cat, just because i havent heard of it really improving much , and throws on a check engine light, i spent total, 170 $ for my custom exaust, and it sounds very very nice !
as well as cold air intakes can cheap and easy ! and noticible power gains thats for sure ;)
best thing over all i did, performance wise, was drop my car, that was the biggist change, handles likea porche and gets way more power to the ground, Im trying to find some poly urathane motor mounts to elimate more motor roll, and get more power to the ground, As i plan on doing the 5 spd swap ;) there are so much, so i agree, look around the pics, and get an idea of what you want to do, then check threw the tutorials !
Thanks guys!
And yeah, that one I'm looking at sounds a tad bit ricy, but not too bad. Do you think I should go CAI before I get the catback? I'm on limited funds at the moment.
And hell yeah, I'm looking at dropping mine ~1.5", I think it'll make a big difference. How expensive would that be?
wheres those pics?!!!
