Ok...I've already purchased one set of 18" Axis SE7EN's (in white) w/215/35/18 Toyo FZ4's (they're on the way from Wheelmax as we speak)...($1259 shipped).

I will be ordering the Injen RD1575 CAI today ($186 from Nopi)

The next concern in the exhaust...My two choices are:
1. Thermal R&D.
2. Skunk2.
I'm not sure which one I want...I'm leaning toward the Skunk2 (for looks and removable silencer). The thermal doesn't have a removable silencer but it will cost me about $50 less.
I've also heard a lot about people selling their TRD's due to it being too loud. I called TRD and they said that the spec on the exhaust is 91db at around 4-5K rpm (I think they said at 4ft).

...Any opnions on this?

Id go with the Skunk2, if your worried about it being to loud just pop in the silencer.

I thought that I read somewhere that the Skunk2 exhaust was recalled for the 02 Si for some reason. Anyone else hear that from somewhere?

Hey, thanks for the responses.

I have yet to hear that about the Skunk2 system, but you can be sure that I will call them and ask about it before I buy one.

The Greddy EVO would be at the top of the list if only it were ALL stainless steel (all of the piping is aluminized).
