i dont have exhaust in my car only headers

 

i took my AEM CAI off for 1 day. I don't know how i was living without it. now i can't imagine having a car without it. your stock box just chokes your engine all throughout.

if you're going turbo, SAVE your $$ and don't get anything but the lights.

if you're not going turbo, get everything but the lights!

simply said.

 

Well, I think you should post what you were planning on spending on all of the items you wanted.

Then we can show you where to get them cheaper, and you can still get your lights.

 

Forget the lights imho... go with everything else :-)

 

Ok, here is what i plan on spending.

Cat Back Exhaust System w/ Muffler n Tip - $400
AEM Cold Air Intake - $165
Headers - $187 (without installation)

 

Locally or online? those seem like great prices

 

it took a while for me to convince myself to get the GT Headers. after i figured i shouldn't be even tampering with turbos (because of the constant pampering and maintenance), and thought about beholding simple power, this is perfect. i guess you don't realize it until your paychecks accumulate laugh.gif

Those headers, high flow cat, an Airram, throttle bodie, AEM CAI, Catback, and Cams will put me a few sets of horses away from the 200hp mark i'm aiming at tongue.gif --and that's just airflow through the engine! of course, if we had a V6 it would be a lot cooler...

just a suggestion. it really depends on how much you know about turbos. it's some complicated biz. so i just want low maintenance, high performance, growling engine that can beat MOST cars off the line. our cars and engines are light weight. that also is an important factor in a race.

 

Screw it just save up for FI it is the way to go

If he can't afford getting catback, headers, exhaust, and altezzas now.... you think hes going to save 2,800 dollars thats needed for a turbo setup?

If you want a street car, stay N/A. If you want a nice car thats sporty, go cheap. Ebay CAI, Custom 2.5inch crushed exhaust with stock muffler, SSAutochrome or KRD headers. Thats probably 450 dollars max, what you were going to pay for exhaust. The differences between that and all-out manufacturer quality stuff is negligible for price unless you really want a high end N/A car or you want to toss money away. That right there should add 14whp, instead of the 20whp that you would get out of AEM intake, KSpec or other high brand headers, and 2.5inch mandrel. And you would save about 600 dollars. I hope that is enough for altezzas. lol.gif

 

That catback is a bit expensive.

Check with your local Minake muffler shop.

$185 here in town, installed, Mandrel bends. The muffler is extra, but still, under $300.
