Don't go to a shop and let them charge you to install that stuff, all of that is mainly bolt-on! And like you said, you're on a budget so learning to do it yourself will save you lots of $$$. Plus, it's always good to learn new things =)

I got the 103's. I was looking for that kind of style.
Anyways im new to the tuner world, and dont really have much experience installing stuff. The thing is, i dont want to mess anthing up. If i could watch someone do it, i could learn but unfortunately i dont know any local car tuners to show me.
Oh ya, i also bought a OBX short shifter.

I understand that you've never done it before, but I know for a fact that you can do AT LEAST the exhaust yourself. It's as simple as unbolting the stock pipes, taking them off, and then bolting up your new exhaust! You can't mess that up! Well.. you could, but you'd almost have to TRY to. =P
Don't worry about not having any experience with it, cause I don't have much myself yet I've been able to do more than I ever thought I could without messing it up. Everyone has to learn sooner or later, might as well be sooner! And if you have any trouble with anything, the most of guys on here are freaking geniuses when it comes to DSMs, and they are friendly and willing to help you with just about anything. Good luck with everything!
