I recommend fd gears, I have 3.9. I had the dual Stillen long tube intakes and really like those; had Crawford hfcs and they were very nice. You should look into swaybars, end links also as you do your suspension. If you are thinking about messing with your exhaust system, you may consider just going for the full MD tdx exhaust with the art pipes; not cheap, but it's where you could end up eventually anyway and you will be glad that you did, as most anyone on this site can vouch for. Turns out I get comments, thumbs up out of car windows and people coming up to me asking all of the time "what kind of exhaust is that"?, etc.

Believe me! I WILL get that tdx2! .. In your opinion are the stillen long tubes better than the jwt dual pop charger?

i would say yes... because it is out of the engine bay... BUT you have to take off the bumper to get to the filters to clean them...

I thought that light weight flywheel just helps with acceleration didnt know that you would gain whp from it.

I have the Motordyne TDX2 Exhaust, ART Pipes V3, Stillen Ceramic Coated Headers, Injen Tuned Cold Air Intakes, and Unorthodox Crank Pulley. My car is very, very loud WOT and would definitely warrant a ticket if a cop heard it. It is noticeable when just cruising and does have slight drone, but sounded awesome with just the exhaust. I don't know if it was the headers or test pipes that led to the drone and slight rasp or a combination of both. Anyway, my Uprev Standard comes tomorrow and should finish my bolt-on list for now.

As for performance, my car does accelerate quicker, but has a little lag due to my out-of-whack a/f. Hopefully, the tune fixes this. I will let you know.

I agree here with the Stillen, but every time that you decide to check/clean filters you will end up (like me several times) shaking your head and say "WHY"? You do get pretty good at removing the bumper cover though. *as mentioned below Injen dual intakes are a great choice; I should have noted them!

When I ordered my TDX2 it only took three weeks and two of them were because the exhaust they were going to send to me didn't have the motordyne labels on them so they had to wait to get it put on.

Probably wouldn't gain much if anything. Maybe a few, maybe not.

mine doesnt say it anywhere on it... but l really dont care.. not like you really see it anywhere. but on another note, my muffler cracked mostly from dragging speed bumps in my apts, i emailed tony and even though i told him i drug it and thinned it out, he said he would replace it at no cost to me under warranty..., genuine stand up guy

I love my TDX2 and would recommend the setup + ART to anyone. Well worth the wait and the money, and the sound is crisp, smooth, and kickass. Even with how good they sound in the YouTube videos, it doesn't match up to how good it sounds in person.

Boltons: Intakes, exhaust, testpipes/hfc, headers.

You will feel more of a difference with 4.083 alone than any of the bolt on mentioned here.
