Car audio or performance

[murph 10+ year member]

I'm stuck right now choosing. I've already put in a few performance upgrades. I haven't had the opportunity to have a car that could actually go pretty fast. I still have my G5 beater system but, it feels it's run the course.

I tried leaving audio for performance last year, then i realized how expensive and problematic performance is so i decided to come right back here lol

I'd throw a tune long tube headers and an intake and call it a day then set your mind on audio

That is a guarantee but, doing a cam install would be huge! It would require some other upgrades but, nothing too serious.

I've got my basic audios done in the evo, next are the mods to bring it up to 350/350 to the wheels. Next year go up to 450 hp, 400 tq or so and call it a day. Then I'll upgrade the audio to a little higher end stuff and put my current setup for sale or in a daily beater

I would love to do performance upgrades too. BUT the way I see it I'm already dropping 1,000s into a system. That is a lot of money to lose in an accident haha. So I chose audio, because at least that way I can keep using it if I get a new vehicle.

In this California traffic i dont blame you. Car audio is the only thing you can enjoy on the freeway traffic.

Audio is cool, but so is a 650hp awd turbo car too.

Seems easier to get your money back out of the audio when you're ready to sell though.

My audio is done, still might change the sub but I'm thinking I'm not.

I don't have a hot rod by any sence of the word. I do want to work on the stance and give it a mild tune. When the tires are shot I'm going to put 20s on it but nothing flashy. They released coil overs for it but the Steeda lowering springs look good even on the stock 18s.
