Default First upgrades w/ Gov't Rebate Check....

I was thinking about spending a portion of my Government rebate check on these two upgrades. Are they good first upgrades?

not a bad place to start, however if you dont have an aftermarket exhaust that is where i would start before a header.

also i have never heard of "spyder" headers, and i'm kind of a name brand person, so i would spend some more money to get a name brand header, or megan racing(what i have but regret) headers are around that same price

Arent aftermarket exhaust kits fairly expensive? If I am misinformed, can someone link me to a proper inexpensive exhaust kit for my car?

depends what you call expensive, the more expensive ones are $500-600, but good quality ones can be had for 300-400 range

thats nothing in the car modifying world, that is a miniscule fraction to the amount of money i have in my car

so, what about the headers? I'm kinda new to this, so I don't know the websites to go to search for good aftermarket parts. I just know names like K&N, AEM, Ingen, etc.

You have already asked this question once. Please don't post the same thing in two different areas. I answered your other one.
