Hello All,I purchased my Vibe 10 days ago, a day before a week long vacation and couldn't wait to get home to get it on the road! Got a descent tax return and finally dumped the 96 Voyager w/167k miles on it. Test drove a great Shadow vibe 3 weeks ago, but wanted to sell the van 1st, when it sold and I went to get it, they had sold 3 on the night before and only had 2 Lava's left. Never had a red car before, so sporty... so I told the salesman to twist my arm and drove it home, knowing the I was now officially massaging my mid-life crisis!!! and you know what? It does feel good!!!After spending past few hours reading all the wonderful posts and learning what it takes to be a Vibe Owner, I plan on making my own rear mats, saving up for those modifications for more power after the break-in period... etc, etc...Need more info on best prices for intake mod(what was the best?) and exhaust ..(saving $$$...)

Welcome and congratulations on your new Vibe! Did you get a base, GT or all wheel drive?As far as the best price on an intake, I found that Adventon.com was the cheapest. And for an exhaust, PTuning.com has the lowest prices on Thermal R & D and Borla cat. back exhaust systems. Ptuning even has a package deal with a Borla exhaust system and Injen intake at a great price. Check them out!

Hey there and welcome Nice to see your in the Ohio area. Another one for a possible meet I'm not sure about Vibe 'specific' stuff, but as far as TRD prices go, you are looking at $205.00 for the TRD CAI and $300 or $400 for a TRD exhaust - depending on your base or GT.Injen and AEM CAI are around $200, give or take $20 or so. Exhausts will run you anywhere from $300 - $500. I'm sure Vibe dudes will know more specifics then me -Slink
