as a first performance I would suggest 4.08 gears and lsd. Then cai intake and single exhaust to save some weight. Your friends that got hydro locked caused it upon themselves, its a sports car why drive it in deep waters. Avoid areas that seem to flood when it rains. I been running injen dual cai for a year now.

 

Plenum spacer is a great upgrade, you will find better gains with a tune because its possible you will be running a lil lean but stock ecu will compensate for the most part, if you plan on doing other mods rather quickly I would just wait to get a tune. You can do full bolt ons without a tune, though I highly suggest getting one after all intake mods and then again after exhaust, you
can wait to do both but don't wait long after getting both to get a tune

 

4.08 gears are great, but not everyone wants higher rpms on the hwy and lower gas mileage

 

Im probably gonna go with a true Dual set-up, from the motor back

 

Header back would be the proper term. However a cat back would suffice in making a true dual, then from that point the only thing worth it, from what I have collected from dynos are longtube headers, which will replace your cats.

Apparently shorty headers are very minimal to no gains at all. Most complain that it is just louder. However longtubes show nice looking gains.

 

Get test pipes ASAP. The exhaust note will sound as if it had an amplifier attached to it. Test pipes give you the best bang for your buck!

Mine arent raspy; in the cabin I get a slight rasp at 3000 RPM but outside it sounds amazing, I cream myself when I hear someone else drive my car.

 

Do you have test pipes with stock exhaust?

 

test pipes really depend on if he has to pass emissions or not

 

which I do, cuts my chances with longtubes im guessing. i was thinking the best i can do would be headers high flow cats y pipe and exhaust. Just find the best combination..that suits my needs

 

shorty headers don't really do anything other than make it louder, and it is a long expensive install

 

So far ive done intake and test pipes. Love my sound. Like whoah. Next is 37oz rear end, bushings, swaybars. 2.5" dual pipes welded to hks canisters from the test pipes. Oh and i have headers. Than osiris tune and brakes.

 

Good job on the test pipes! I love how they sound with OEM exhaust!

I sold mine and got resonated ones with an HKS style exhaust.. Jesus christ its loud.
