I would go with the Airintake and save for the full catback system exhaust which is around 500.,

i think jayster was trying to say that he would rather have performance than noise not that your car was gonna die any time soon. i would go with the intake as well.

Bottom line is that the right intake will give you better acceleration than a muffler. It's a choice of performance over style. What are you looking for.

why ont you save the money and buy a new motor and from there build on the motor when you have a little cash. dont blow our money on an intake when you know your wont last , rather prepare yourself. plus if you buy a new motor from the junkyard or whatever, you will have the motor out which will make it easier to do some aftermarket part work. just my 2 cents

Get the intake first. But, most air intakes are the same so I saved a few bucks and bough a CAI from Ebay off of a guy called liveonspeed. I only payed 60 bucks shipped and the intake works great! But its your money so you can do whatever you want.

Either one is about the same, you really need both to make it equal. If you are pulling more air in and can't get it out its no good, and vice versa. I would go with the intake 1st though, but plan on an exhuast as a next mod.
