ur not gonna gain **** on ur n/a car from switching the nismo intakes and exhaust to another..not enough to warrant the cost and time of doing so..

do u have the s-tune exhaust or just the factory nismo exhaust? get some high flow cats or test pipes and a tune if anything, replace the nismo y pipe with a motordyne xyz also..

I would get motordyne art pipes, motordyne xyz w/ resonator and leave the exhaust and intakes alone if they are s-tune and not just factory nismo and get osiris tune and if u had extra enough id get 4.08 gears too

Rear bumper looks really strange all painted white...

Test pipes will get you some solid power gains, maybe long-tube intakes, and a tune. Other than that, there's not a lot of power to be had from an HR easily N/A.

From my personal experience the best upgrades you can do is Test Pipes, Exhaust, and a Tune. I have the Nismo Intakes with my own Intake extensions to replicate / improve the stillen intakes. I felt a huge improvement from the testpipes, and the next huge one was from the Tune. so I would do that, followed by Clutch and Flywheel. which are coming upnext

Yea, if you want performance, get rid of those 20's... IMO, they don't that well with that kit of yours... None the less, you have a nice car...

in your area, you bottom out with a stock exhaust and you want to go lower? imo if you are going to get new springs, i'd only go with an adjustable coilover kit so you can go low, and still raise it up for daily driving

Also had the shave the logo off the front bumper and the sides as well. getting some repair work on the rear done as i ran over a retread last week..lol

Search for a dealer there are plenty of them on this forum in the marketplace. Shop around for best prices and buy your exhaust hfc 's or test pipes and get your tune. Uprev.com for your tune

You couldn't be anymore wrong, the HR responds very well to N/A mods.
