How about changing package #1 to RPI exhaust, RPI scoops and Sprint Booster and probably you still have extra cash for another mod!

and maybe you can add HID Fogs!!!

I want my m-tech skirts! Don't you try to sway me!!! But I agree on the scoop. The sprint booster isn't necessary too much because if I floor the gas pedal its the same effect. =p I gotta say, the more I hear the youtube clips of the RPI on the 530 the more I drool. It truly sounds great! Does anyone here have it?

What kind of HP gain will I get from the RPI exhaust plus the Scoop? Any torque gains or just HP at higher speeds?

Does this muffler need to be clamped or welded on?

I have the RPI exhaust, it can be claimped but you might some a small amount of exhaust leakage. Im having mine welded straight on.

Go with Package 1, you wont be dissapointed at all.
