Default setup with stock exhaust + videos/pics

post pics/ or videos (videos would be better)

of a setup with stock exhaust. That includes:
- changing headers, air intake, intake pipe, cams, cam gears, etc etc

I want to hear if there is a sound difference from stock w/ any of the following changes.

Also. I want to get some hp gain but I don't want to change the exhaust, stock exhaust sounds nice IMO. Enthusiast about hp gain always tell me to change the exhaust but I don't want to sound ricey...aha

when i bought my car it was faster than my previous lexus. but it felt sluggish. so i fell into a fantastic deal on my apexi n1 exhaust and megan y-pipe. i did feel a difference. now maybe i dont have any extra hp from the modification. maybe it just got me to the hp number faster, i dont know. butt dyno felt better.

after hearing my car with an exhaust and friends cars without....ide always go with an exhaust. otherwise it just feels guttless.

you can find vids of my setup on youtube. fader2701 is the username.

i have the srt intake(and chip), the ypipe and apexi unit. i may do a cam gear when i change my timing belt since im already there at that point. but if you want true hp increase. save for boost. turbonetics setup is running $4655 last time i checked.
