Yes, yes and yes. It only sounds maybe slightly sort of aggressive when you peel off at a green light. Any suggestions on particular full exhausts?

Always been a big fan of HKS

In all honesty none of these will give you much power. A GTS isnt ever gonna be that great.

If you want it to sound better just choose an exhaust you think looks the nicest. Also add yourself the ever so generic injen intake and call it a day as far as performance goes.

I appreciate the advice. I will look into an HKS exhaust system and also an ever so generic Injen Intake. I know I'm not going to be able to get too crazy with my GTS, but it's my start into modifying and eventually one of these days I will move up into an Evo. One of these days...

Honestly and this is just being real about it.... i wouldnt invest any money into the car i would save that many and trade the car in on evo. They are nice cars, but as far as investing money in them other than for looks dont waste your time. you want a good sound, buy a muffler. dont spend all thhat money on exhaust. The car doesnt have transmission, to handle any power. Not knocking such a nice car, just trying to save you some money Tint the windows, lower the car, get a nice stereo and enjoy. BTW love the color! had to break it to a buddy of mine that bought a lancer and wanted to make it a evo, unfortunetly without a total rebuild its not gonna be.

Finally, some honest gritty truth! I was having a lot of hesitation spending too much money on my car.... I know she'll never be an Evo, I just want to make my car as awesome as it can be while I wait for an Evo some day. I'm tinting the windows today actually, I think I'll invest in an Angel Eyes kit, a side plate bracket maybe a new exhaust or muffler and call it a day. Thanks for your honest opinion Oh, and I love the color too! I scored on this car and got a great deal at work when it was traded in so overall I'm pretty happy with it.

Hey no problem. I bet its gonna look great! The angel eyes will definitely set the car off. You should buy some lowering spring maybe inch and half.
Wont make the car too lower but the lancer and the evo sit too high stock. You can get a decent set of lowering springs brand new for around 200 and some change.

With all the snow that we get here and with the steep road I live on, should I be worried about lowering my car?
