Here's a STUPID question!
I've been thinking about replacing my factory stereo with new system w/amp, subs, component speakers etc.. I have also been working on a regulated fuel mod that has become more expensive than I had planned. Now I am drooling over a 4" exhaust to replace my stock/BTM exhaust. The EGT's climb a bit faster than I would like.
Then It dawned on me, I were to forgo the stereo, I could spend all that cash on mods!
So.... what would you do!

I was just getting stereo so I could run ipod and sat radio when traveling. After I thought about it, the kids always have the dvd player going anyway. Besides, what better sound is there than a finely tuned (and moded) PSD?

I try and turn the stereo on, but then my mechanic's ear starts to twitch and I have to turn the radio off and listen to the music from under the hood. Get that big exhaust, you won't regret it. The engine will be a lot more free revving despite it's huge displacement.
Especially between 2000 and 2500 RPM.

Every time I try listening to a CD, I end up muting it after a song or two just to listen to the engine/exhaust.... just can't help it.

Hink - definitely skip the radio, and take another step to the "dark" side!
