Body Kit or Muffler?

Which one should I get first? I'm afraid that if I get the muffler and the body kit won't fit, that the people installing the muffler would have to have the head cut off...so I'm guessing I should go with a body kit first?

Life's big questions, muffler or a bodykit

Just decide yourself what you want and go from there.

which one do you feel more comfortable paying for ... Since a muffler is ALOT cheaper than a bodykit

I'd skip them both, I mean a muffler wont do shit for performance, neither would a bodykit.

Well i could understand that you might want a body kit or a muffler, but are you wanting to put the body kit or muffler on just for looks? or do you have a reason for putting it on like a supercharged car or something of that sort?

i'd imagine for looks. I'd put the kit first, because more often thne not you see people who have to cut their kit out in weird ways to fit the exhaust they already had.

if your gonna be beating up on the stang crowd start saving for something thatll actually do that instead of just looking good. as the only thing i can see a stock corolla beating is a fox body with a 2.3L 4 cyl (same as the pinto) engine.

Even then the corolla would lose. Stang isnt that heavy, plus the 2.3liter pinto engine is actually pretty potent.

Bodykit first.. it will add more power than a muffler.

Next up, get stickers.

If I were you, I would get a nice sounding muffler and not get a bodykit. The exhaust is always the first thing I notice on cars.. And most bodykits are just dumb looking.
