Buy her something.... Mm :whistle:
Some other time may be... It's my cars turn for a Xmas preset. I have read all the comments on the 3" so I would research it proper before I buy any thing.. Just I want all of the three options, it's just in what order really..

I would say exhaust or lower it first
Not that much benefit to a fmic until you get it mapped. Whereas exhausts sound nice  :evil:

FMIC needs to be done just before remap IMO

Yes you would need remapping straight after fitment of the fmic,
Get it lowered you will appreciate it more :)

Lower it on Jom's and buy the exhaust for the same price it would cost for the fmic the. Save up and get a fmic an your map tweaked  :cool:
