Nice. I have an Otto Racing (off brand) CAI And Otto racing Muffler (Switching to catback soon) Both sound nice. Are you going with the motoria catback anytime soon? Welcome to RDT

Vehicle: 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
My next performance mod will either be the headers or catback (or both). I haven't picked out a brand yet (I'll most likely go on the recommendations of more experienced members on this forum). My Tibby deserves something nice.
I want to work out a good compromise that will give me a performance boost over stock, but I will be able to keep in if (when) I do decide to go FI in the future. I guess this means a cat back in the 2.3"-2.5" range, and Im not sure what that means yet for the headers.
Oh, Im interested in hearing opinions on the paint job.. When I take the tib in to get the damage fixed, I may consider a new paintjob.. Generally, the reaction to my current paintjob from the locals has been either really good or really bad; "that looks like a mini viper!", or "What is that car? Oh, a Hyundai?! who would actually drive that car?" Maybe I should pull all the hyundai badges off hehe. My other color options would be pure black with tinted windows and bronze/gold rims (copying some other owners a little too much) or a gunmetal grey color w/ chrome colored or greyish rims...
Im thinking about doing silver accents on some of the plastic on the interior via the DIY provided in the forums here. My other options would be blue or white, but they're a little too 'blingy' for me..
