Underdrive pulley's
High flow cats
Cat back
Flash/tune
$2500 maybe with 20whp gain

 

depends on what your power gain goals are and how much money you wanna spend.

 

4.08 final drive gears and vsld was the best move I have done for my 07 base. I bought this before any bolt on. Best move you can do in my opinion as long as you have a good machanic to install them and your planning on staying NA.

 

mmmhhhmmm, I spent...

$450 4.08 fd
$400 vlsd complete pumpkin[If you don't have a base you wont need this]
$250 install
$30 motul diff fluid

and I can't tell you how happy I am.

 

Get exhaust, headers, and if you have the money get some cams. You also HAVE to get a tune with either mods you go.

BUT the best bang for the buck are some gears. Look into some gears. There about $599. You will notice that over all the other mods.

 

how about a used turbo i was leaning more towards aps st. If i was to buy the kit would i have to buy any extra items that will insure its reliablilty

 

I have a built pumpkin too. Are your gears noisy at all? I got some whine goin on. Great mod though.. I spent way more than that though.

$100 Rental car
$200 KAAZ oil
$200 Nismo diff cover
$600 3.9fd
$675 KAAZ lsd (great deal)
$1300 for all new bearings/seals/fasteners/flanges/SPL bushings
$800 for install (got rapped, not happy)

Total $3875.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

sell your car and buy an RSX they are way faster and cheaper to mod

 

I don't notice any new noises or whining going on. The only thing I could guess in your case is the lsd or gears are not mesh up at just the right distance. I only upgraded to the stock vlsd and took off the open diff. I originaly had on [which is for sale], so I still have a stock sound with the gears, but just quiker revs of coarse. As far as I know most all lsd's give various new noise over a stock besides a quaif drop in lsd for the base.

 

I was in the same shoes you are in a few months ago as I traded for a STS turbo Z with 403hp and at first all I thought was more power, even though it was and still is "wicked fast" to ME. It sounds to me that you need some time getting used to that power, as I did. If you are content with the way the exhaust sounds then there is nothing wrong with upgrading your audio as you stated in your OP. A tune would not be a bad idea though

 

I miss that sound from my WRX
