Im am leaning that way too. I was going with green, but i read somewhere that the leds wasnt as bright as neon when it came to colors like green. So then i have to decide to go with led or neon. Descions descions

I'd say the header. Bigger bang for the buck.

I keep hearing the swaybars make a huge difference in handling. I'd go with those.

every thing that ive read the ones from the cobalt will work. And if the flange was diffrent ive got a mig and could alter my down pipe. Seems to be alot of argument over this, so im not starting nothing. John

I talked to quite a few shops about the LED versus Neon issue, and almost unanimously they said neons wouldn't work. There's something about neon messing up something with the Antilock Brake System. I don't know if they were just trying to get more $$ out of me or if it's really true, but it would definitely be worth researching before you buy.

That's BS. They are probably trying to get you to go with LEDs because they cost more or something.
