Default 04 USP 1.8QM W/Bailey, APR snub, and DSMIC in basement $2K for 06 MOD budget and what to do???

Thinking exhaust adds looks, go, and sound. Looking at Miltek group buy/sale on AZ or Vibrant sale if it includes DP. I want to improve sound quality but not advertise.
The next logical step would to get chipped (largely debated subject.)I would like to go straight to a BI and would eventually go KO4 or hybrid.
Revo-KO4 or hybrid support-heard/read little negative-adjustable w/sps-unknown dealer support in Colorado.
GIAC-KO4 support-watch timing correction values-multiple octane programs-I've only heard good things about Autobahn/dealer.
MTM-KO4 or hybrid-solid programming-expensive$$$-heard/read little about Champagne/dealer for Hoppen.
APR-No KO4 yet...-hit and miss reliability on BI file unless with TT injectors-heard read little about APR dealer in area.
Have not heard enough about Dalback(sp), AMS, Oct, ect...any comments or suggestions on the above would be greatly appreciated.

Default couple answers for you.

revo = 303 Motorsports over in Arvada, good group, all previously worked for McDonald.

APR = Mark up at SCR in loveland. Very knowledgable and easy to work with.

GIAC = Randy at Autobahn. Very good to work with.

Dahlback = (can't think of the name) Broomfeild, seems to be hit or miss

MTM = Champagne, Seems to be hit or miss with the guys there at the shop. They either like you or hate you. You will know within 5 minutes.

Personally Randy at Autobahn has done all of the work on my car (suspension, exhaust, brakes, etc..) except the chip/injectors which were installed by Mark up at SCR.

Default IMO In order: Chip, Injectors, exhaust, suspension

I would only do sway bars if you are going to track or autoX.

I agree with this order (I went with APR 1+ a few months after getting my new car). I don't agree with the comment about sways. I don't track or autoX although I may ... I have the H-sports and immediately recognized as well as enjoyed the benefits since the day I installed them. BTW, I also have a Milltek.

Where you located? If you're near VA, buy my exhaust.
