just small addition

while back i posted a post about going and getting a greddy evo system,and the whole nine yards.My gf who a few times heard me saying i was going to spend some money on the exhaust decided to go out and secretly surprise me with something that fits her budget,and kind of get me a gift for no reason.However she didnt get me what i wanted,but she did get a nice Ractive T603 exhaust for me.Getting something for free did feel good.We had it installed lets just say the difference is noticiable,the sound is exactly what i was looking for,it has a deep sound,but we only installed the exhaust no other piping the gentleman at the muffler shop said that try driving without 2" pipe that they usually install for a week or two and see how i like the sound preformance,and if the levels are managable then uprgade to a pipe running from muffler back to the engine.Thats nice hearing it from him,yet i wanted to know what some people that had already done some work on their car can suggest,considering i still have money left that i was going to use towards purchasing the greddy stuff.My brother who is an all time VW freak said that i definitely need to get some headers,and sport spark plugs,and carbon fiber hood,in the mean time.That could be used as something potential if i can get more than one person to give me the same advice i will use the money towards that so please let me know of my options.

thanks
