Question I would like your opinion, what would you do?

I am on a limited budget and I think I will only have enough cash for one more bolt on (because I just ordered my nitrous kit) What would you get next if you were me (please keep in mind what I already have, see sig below) I am considering the following three things:

NFC Y pipe
Kinetix plenum
Kinetix test pipes with resonator

Why would you need a y-pipe? Don't you have the Borla TD? or do you have the old Borla?

Either way, I would get the Kinetix plenum - too bad you didn't ask this question a week or two ago - you could have saved $50 going with our GB!

It is only the cat back system, I got a good deal on it used otherwise I would have gone with the TD.

I was going to do the group buy I just wasn't sure about my financial situation then, that sucks.

Hmmm.... the y-pipe is after the cats, so if your system is "catback" it would already replace the y-pipe. Do you mean it is y-pipe back, that would replace the midpipe and muffler section.

Anyway, I say y-pipe if you need it, then test pipes. I am still not sold on the plenum, although you could tap it for the NO2 system and still have the stock on to put back on.

With nitrous i would get the kenetix plenum for sure. It would definitly be top on my list with the factory plenum causing uneven Airflow between the cylinders #5 and #6 tend to run leaner than the rest due to the factory plenum design.

I'm selling a Kinetix, but I got a buyer lined up. If he/she does not pan out, I'll let ya guys know (keep monitoring thread). Plenum is new, and I'm about the same price as the group buy (~$355 shipped).

Thanks Squill, that may be what I will do.

When does Kinetix say they will have their own Y-pipe out? It's better then the NFC Y-pipe, I'd wait for it, unless it's a long long time away.

Of the three, testpipes with resonators should give you the most bang for your buck.
