#25588, "A dilemma"


          

Ok here's my dilema.
I currently have about 3 grand and within the next few weeks can probably afford to have an HRC stage 2 installed. however that will leave me REALLY tight when I get back to school(books fraternity dues, phonebills)
Would I be better off just getting a stage 1 and upgrading later? or will I really benefit from getting the stage 2?

Thanks all

Phil

Get a stage one and do your own IC and piping for a lot less or even later on.

I agree. I personally, would rather have the professional installed stage II kit, but if you're tight on money after it, then you have to deal with hassles and all that. go with a stage I

Go with a Stage 1 and a 1G sidemount. It's gonna be a lot cheaper to go that way than if you go straight to a Stage 2. Keep in mind that you need to get the gauges and all that miscellaneous shit. You can get a 1G SMIC for around 50 bucks at ebay. Good luck!!!!!

yea dog, go with the stage 1 for now school is expensive so save a little cash, apply for a pell grant or something later on in the year and use that to upgrade later on.

If you are going to go with stage 1, return that Injen intake and save a little money there. No sense wasting that money. Just my thoughts.
