eff the kit first.... go performance first. If you want to go performance do it first and foremost. For instance... I'm waiting til next year to get my kit... this year I'm planning on putting in my turbo, suspension mods, brakes and exhaust.
If you look like you're fast and can't back it up with performance, shame on you.

Since aleros are soo fast. And capable of dominating other beefed up cars right.
Save your money on performance and make it look badass.

DOh! my bad.
So yea go for the dual FLow 40s If you want a deeper lower muscle tone.
IF you want a "high powered rice sound" (lol thats what BJ said mine sounds like) Go with 2.25 pipe, no cat, a glasspack, and a turbo muffler. Mine sounds good. I have to get a clip.

I used mine on an HDTV and I love it. I got a good deal, 52" Mitsubishi with the stand and 5 year extended warranty out the door for $1270, oh and that included an HD antenna

/\ ask jackal how fun that is to do. It depends on how dedicated you are to the car. I plan on spending my return on my car, but i have no need for a nice tv, i am in college and it would get destroyed. Keep in mind the tv will last you longer than the car probably will. I would do the car stuff but thats just me.

Id go with your idea of lowering it + the HDTV, but only if its worth it and that you will use the TV frequently. How many ppl do I know that have monster TVs, but only watch one half hour show each week.
