getting my 06 IX tomorrow !!! thoughts? mods ?

just gimme your feedback .. thoughts ..

getting my 06 tomorrow for 20,959 with 49k miles on it .. red .. all stock .. good price?
its red .. coming from a 650hp DSM .. just bought a mazdaspeed3 3 weeks ago and put a full exhaust on it and the car burns oil with a turbo back because of the lack of back pressure ..haha.. trade in .. and the funny thing is all the guys on that forum tell me to get over it and ****.. there a bunch of tools .. anyway
i barely have any money know that i lost my 3k down on the piece of **** mazda ..
so im looking to put a cheap turboback on the car just for starters sake..
im going with the injen intake and i/c piping first.. and the exhaust.. i probably wont do it but anyone have an installed JVT Turbo Back Exhaust 03-06 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 8 9 .. ???
im also going with the dr-31 wheels with the red lip black wheels... also the wing isnt on the car im buying for some reason so i might go with this .. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FULL-...Q5fAccessories


thoughts ?
thanks

I had my tbe without tune for more than a year. No problem so far. Finally going to get tune next month. Injen is ok but there are many other choices with same price range.
Like buschur, ETS, AMS.
You can get fairly good prices on used parts here on evom.
I get my parts here, polish like hell, make it like new, install it on my car, sell it later for same price =D

Injen on the 8 & 9 are junk, too many bends and a few people have fitment issues. There are better cheaper alternatives out there

Listen to the guys who know what they're talking about. Getting Injen now for 377 will cost you that and then some later when you have to scrap them. There is good priced stuff out there with way way fewer bends for not much more. Check the part-outs and ebay. Exhaust, wideband, intake, start easy.

wow lol there is nothing wrong with injen pipes. Yes there are some fitment issues but its a hit and miss. I did not want to have to run a small battery or relocate to trunk to get the other pipping systems mention above. Get what you want i have a complete guide on the whole injen fitment issue bov popping issue etc. So if you want to get injen go for it nothing wrong with those pipes BUT you can get them cheaper then 377+shipping in the for sale threads on this forum. if you want injen and want my guide to it pm me and ill send you my car website.
