i just did a central 20 final drive for $1000 part and labor. and i think this mod is the best bang for buck. now you have jwt popcharger for 120. and then spend the rest on megan racing y pipe and test pipe. now for $1500 you have a different car.

actually, 11.5 k is about what it takes if your not doing your own install and going tt after you get exaust ect ect. in the real world it comes close. there isnt one thing cheap about it or cheap way to go...
