APS 3.0 inch exhaust
is there any point to spending 400 dollars more on the 3.0 inch APS instead of a 2.5 inch borla?...would the gains be worth it or is the 3 inch exhaust really only useful on FI applications?

kk..kind of figured that would be the result but i wasnt sure...what kind of 2.5 inch exhausts will give me the most gains throughout the RPM range? SES, Borla T.D., something from Greddy?

Yep, the APS 3" is overkill for N/A cars. You won't gain any HP over the 2.5" and you'll lose torque down low. But if you want a really loud exhaust that sounds great, definitely go with the 3".

when you look at intake mod's the best thing is the plenum spacer. Your stock air box is a cold air intake since it is taking the air it gets from before the radiator. your not going to gain much from an intake itself.
best HP gains for NA:
plenum spacer
Crawford headers
cams
test pipes (rasp like a **** though)
tune

gotcha...i was thinkin about just saving up & dropping in one of the procharger setups...centrifugal supercharger + injectors + ECU...5,500 or so i believe + install..but im worried that even running their "safe boost" of 7 psi or whatever it will wear out my internals :/...sorta nervous about forcing induction on a stock revup engine...& if i drop in FI im not gonna have the money to put in low compression pistons or anything like that
