New Member, need some help!!

**Nightmare99** · 02-03-2014, 03:19 PM

Hello all. This is my second time on Steel City Stangs. I used to have an account when I had a 2000 v6, and I decided to make a new one after purchasing my 1999 Cobra. I bought it last May after saving money for a couple years, and I couldn't be happier. I just graduated college from UPJ in December with an accounting degree and I am currently on the job hunt. So to those members who are accountants or work for accounting companies, please do not hesitate to give me some tips, or if possible at all, let me know if your companies are looking for new entry level talent. I would really appreciate it. Second, since my car is sitting in storage I'm beginning to think of a spring mod, and I think I have decided on Borla Stingers. With that said, is there anybody that has this setup, preferably on a 4v, but also a 2v, that would be willing to meet with me when the weather breaks so that I can hear it in person before i spend $800. I will most likely keep the stock H due to annoying emissions laws and I like the smoothness that I have heard in youtube videos. Thanks to everybody and I am glad to be back on the site!!

I got my Borla from autoanything.com for way cheaper than anywhere else

My buddy had borla stingers on his 96 cobra, stock H pipe. Sounded nice and loud, but a smooth, deep growl. I loved it.

I have Borla Stingers but I have a Magnaflow catted X. Borla Stingers are the best sounding exhaust for a 4v IMO. I've had 2 other Catback systems and this one is a keeper. Watch Amazon. I got mine off of there from an open box deal very cheap. Paid 445 with tax. Here's a video of mine. There's also an in car video on my channel as well.

What up and welcome back to SCS!

**Nightmare99** · 02-06-2014, 05:51 AM

Ya my old name wasnt very cool, i like my new one its my cars nickname. And ya thats why i want to keep the stock h. Im 21 but i dont want an obnoxiously loud exhaust but i want to be heard and turn some heads. Cheapest i can find lately is 660 but hey thats way better than 790 haha

Why dont' you just look for a used one on one of the national forums? Surely there are a bunch for sale - and for probably 1/2 of the new price... no point in spending more than you have to, especially if you're 21

**cLockWise** · 02-06-2014, 03:25 PM

Welcome!

Borla is definitely the way to go as far as 4v's are concerned. As you can hear from MG's car, it's amazing. It's still got the loudness you'll desire even with the catted x (and I might add that the Magnaflow Catted X is one of the best IMO).

x2, plus the fact they're stainless means they're more than likely still in good shape.

**Nightmare99** · 02-08-2014, 11:06 PM

Well if i find a used one for like 400 i might as well get a brand new polished and shiny one for 250 more. I have plenty of money (paid 10,000 cash for my car at age 20) thanks to working 70 hour weeks at the postal service haha so i wont mind because im keeping this car mostly stock

**cLockWise** · 02-08-2014, 11:41 PM

I'd still keep an eye out for deals man. I've saw some deals on the national forums that I've almost bought stuff that I didn't even need just because they were short changing themselves with it lol..

i know that right now you're naive and think that you're going to keep that mostly stock......... but trust me, you wont - haha... that money will come in handy down the road ....

Back when i was 20 or 21 i bought my LS1 Trans Am... thought i'd keep it mostly stock.... exhaust led to an intake, which led to gears, which led to a cam, which led to heads and manifold, which led to twin-turbos.... and then you sell it and throw all that money away....

i assure you, it never stops.... i wouldn't look at it as "i can afford it right now..." ... just my opinion - not calling you wrong or stupid for your decision, just another viewpoint to consider

I agree with him It Never Stops Once you start you keep putting more and more and more into it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Nightmare99** · 02-09-2014, 03:53 PM

Man that is one gorgeous termi. And if i get a real job soon then ya I will probably go crazy but for now im just gonna focus on finding a job and working 70 hours a week haha

**cLockWise** · 02-09-2014, 05:26 PM

I'll attest to that. I try not to mod my car much, especially because I'm getting married and looking to buy a house with the fiance, however... I still look for deals haha. Now that I'm in a position where I am going through a career change (lost my job in Healthcare after the past 4 years and moving up within a company that looked stable), I'm starting back into school and when I get out, luckily I'll only have an additional 8-10k of debt for my B.A in Imaging/Management. Needless to say, once I score a better job, I'll probably get the modding bug even worse considering I have to kind of take a back seat with it now haha..
