New Matrix

[HBmatrix]

Hello everyone!

I just bought my girlfriend a new 2003 Matrix XR. I know, I know. I should have bought the XRS....She is already a speeder, so I felt the XR would be fine. We got the Black Sand Pearl color and had the chrome 17' wheels put on it. Funny thing was we weren't even looking for a new car for her. We were out looking for a Suburban for me, and ended up comming home with the Matrix for her.....Funny how that works out! So, everything I've owned I've tricked out one way or another, so this car won't be stock for long. I've never owned a Toyota before so I may be asking a lot of silly questions, but please don't make too much fun of me. Ok, here is the ride.

Matrix3

I plan on getting an exhaust, but I'm still not sure what mfg to go with....Any suggestions!

I'm also going to get the Injen intake and some new springs to drop it 1.25" or 1.5" all the way around (to low and she will start removing paint)

Also, I've seen someone selling a ECU chip on Ebay for 7-8 bucks and he's claiming it adds 20hp. Is this true? Does anyone have one?

Ok, here are my other rides.

welcome to our little family.

TRD exhaust is an awesome exhaust very highly recommended and im sure everyone else will recommend it too.

TRD springs for a 1.25 inch drop and the injen intake is dope so good choice.

and the chip...well if you buy it ive got some air you can buy for ten bucks too. get my drift?

The Venom400 ECU controller ($300 American) is suposed to work with the 1ZZFE and give up 25% HP increase. Plus it can be turned on/off for emisions testing.
