Default first mods done to the car.. what next?

Ok guys. Ive just got the green stuff brakes, motordyne 5/12 plenum spacer, and the injen cai. Now im wondering what i should do next... theres lots of ways to go! if I get an exhaust i'll either get injen or hks (being my fav) but honestly I think exhaust gets a little to much attention, I think I like to keep things low key for the most part. Im thinking maybe jwt cams? or maybe the jwt cluth and flywheel combo? but my car only has 22,000 miles id feel kinda bad getting rid of a good clutch right now. I dunno im sure you guys can give me many good ideas. Thanks for the help, look forward to hearing your ideas!

Russell

I'd suggest getting an exhaust. its a great mod. Or wheels and tires..possibly the best handling mod you can do, and it looks sharp. If your not ready to dump more than 200 bucks, lowering springs. You can also look into a Y pipe if ur not rdy for a whole exhaust, and later on get a Fujitsubo exhaust, which is pretty quiet and has the stock exhaust sound (but free flow)

My first 2 mods where Crawford cats and the Borla exhaust.

The two together sound awesome!!!

get the nismo exhaust if u dont want to attract to much attention. The nismo exhaust sounds great by the way. U can also make it a lil louder by adding headers, HFC/testpipes. Nismo cams and JWT cams r almost identical but jwt being a lot cheaper.

Hey thanks for the ideas! might get some high flow cats and the jwt cams. But dude undrgnd... your a douche bag, straight up bottom line. I was just asking for personal opinions... not help, you might wana learn to read prior to talking smack. I hate people that come onto forums and try to be tough... yea man your cool, everyone else thanks again and keep the IDEAS coming

The cams are a great idea, but man are they expensive to buy AND install. I would probably try most of the basic bolt-ons first, then go for the cams when you have nowhere else to go.

*First, get rid of the stock cats. Get some Crawfords.
*Get you a JWT Pop Charger or Stillen intake.
*Get a Motordyne plenum spacer or a Crawford Plenum.
*The headers of your choice would work great, after doing the rest of the above mods.
*Get you a Unichip, UTEC or Technosquare re-flash (Technoquare is a re-flash....the others are piggyback units for your ECU) to make all of your mods work better as a unit.
*After all of this, I would then consider the cams.

If your gonna skip out out on the exhaust, you could just go for the y-pipe. But anyways I would suggest a ECU upgrade or coilovers. Going straight in a fast straight line is fun but real men attack the corners
