Mod Regret??

[WKT]

Regret going 20's with tall tires on my first set on wheels and tires.
Fixed that with the MRR 350 19's, I lost about $400 switching around but ended up with what I wanted.

Regret going with Gibson catback exhaust, fits and sounds good but I wanted to go with the Boss style FRPP X-pipe with side pipes, so now I will spend some more money and change the exhaust.

Bottom line is, don't settle for something other than want you really want, even if it means waiting till you can afford exactly what you want.

yeah i removed the resonator. i don't think i would have liked it not being as loud though with the resonator still being in place, lol. seen a few people regretting it.

Many have said leaving the resonator eliminates rasp.

Chrome gas door cover. It did not gain 10 mpg as advertised.
Curb Feelers. They did not whistle Dixie @ 60 MPH
Ground Straps. My car was still struck by lightning.
I do love my dashboard bobblehead though.

yeah I wouldn't be surprised but then again it's probably not as loud either. might as well go Corsa xtremes with the double x and have the perfect sound lol

Biggest regret- is not buying a preformance pack car the first time. I should have ordered it but I can't wait on anything I want it all now and if I could do it agian I would have waited and bought a used ecoboost or gt so I wouldn't have the huge deprecation hit. Good thing I got 0% interest. Helps a little

What part of the PP car are you missing?

My SHO had it, and it made a huge difference over a non PP car.

I have driven a GT PP car and can't tell a difference with my non PP car. I am thinking the 20" wheels I have help to stiffen up the ride, and 3:55 gears I have are close to the PP.

The only thing I am really missing is the bigger brakes, and honestly, I don't think I will ever miss them. I may do 1 track day this spring and never again.

I have a preformance pack car now. My first one was a no options base coupe 6 speed. Now I have a premium preformance pack auto. I would have saved some cash if I would have bought the right one the first time

I regret not having more money for mods.

Yup^

I wanted forgestars before any other wheel caught my attention. funny how I ended up here after a set of 20s.

My other regret is not waiting for the corsa to come out before buying my borla. borla s-type sounds great, i love it, but something about that double x-pipe corsa keeps making me want to make the switch.

My curb feelers play 19 of the 21 nocturnes by Chopin, which is strange since I'm not a classical music fan and I rarely get to 60MPH in Austin traffic. :shrug:

FRPP X-Pipe. Fitmet sucks. Should have just bought an MBRP and been done with it to begin with.

JLT CAI -- time and time again, it seems to be proven there is no real gain with this piece. I haven't installed mine and not sure I will.

BMR Jacking Rails -- They're HEAVY! And for what they are, $$$.

Things I don't regret:

Weld Racing S77b
Redline Hood Struts
MBRP Street cat back
HPTuners

Maybe you suck at cutting? My FRPP X-Pipe fits incredibly well. I had zero issues. I agree about my JLT and Tuner. Not happy with either.

I've got eibach prokit springs on my PP and love them. The factory PP springs I did feel were bouncy and these didn't add any harshness. So far the only mod although I've got spacers, vertical links and likely the cb005 kit from BMR. I've been contemplating the diff inserts but I think i'll pass as I don't really want the additional nvh for a primarily street driven car. I've got noticeable squirreliness in the rear-end that has got to get corrected.

I regret my x-pipe, only because it isn't quite loud enough.

I should have just gone Roush Axle-Back.

I don't want to go too loud so if I do go Roush Axle-Back I will also have to pay to weld in the resonator :/

Don't regret much...but would've done things a in a little different order, but...

Instead of the Borla S-Type with Kooks Headers, I would've just gone with a generic X- or H-Pipe, the Kooks Headers and some resonators before the stock mufflers. The Borlas with the headers was just too loud and raspy. I do have Pypes louvered resonators with the Borlas and Kooks currently and the sound is perfect to me without the raspiness.

Also, I should have waited for the release of coilovers before adding all the other suspension bits as my current coilovers (see sig) are the single, most impactful change in the cars suspension. I think coilovers would've satisfied what I wanted out of the suspension without the other suspension bits.

All in all no regrets, as modding and learning is always fun. If everything turned out perfectly the first go round, modding and changing set-ups wouldn't be as fun as it is!

I looked at your sig...but I'm still unsure what coilovers you have. I'm also considering some as well.
