Get the K&N panel filter and the Varis air duct and get the looks and performance w/o the cost.

I like that idea too, but I am not 100% sold on cutting a hole through my front bumper, but that is because I am always thinking ahead to resale value time.

After that, read a lot of posts on exhausts to find the one that you like (sound, looks & what other people endorse as proven). If you decide to stay N/A, then look for some headers and test pipes too. Crawford seems to be popular set of headers as well as alphawerks & Strup. I was recommended kinetixs resonated test pipes. After that, I don't know, I'm still reading posts to learn more.........

yea im gonna go with the popcharger with varis intake cutout. should work nice, and it will look really nice.
im definately trying to stay in the mild bolt-on category for now due to warranty. although id like to eventually swap the manifold to the individual runner manifold that ive seen, that way i can do multiport injection if i decide to go for some nitrous to get good times at the track.
and as far as headers im going strup because i can get them for like 60% off.

my previous car was a 02 civic lx. people have dyno proven gains of like 3-4 hp over stock with full i/h/e and even with a lil tune time like 5hp gains(this is why i went turbo). so dont complaign about bolt-ons not being worth it for the Z.
