If I could have done it over. I would have saved my money and purchase a Jackson Racing supercharger. That's just my opinion.

The car is already low enough for my taste, too many steep drive ways and speedbumps where i live!

I dont really want to drop thousands of dollars on this car, need to worry about the payments first

I would say get a good intake. Black Label Fabrications CAI is supposed to be pretty dang good and gets you the most HP that I know of.

Then an SRI or CAI and possibly a Downpipe. Of course we are talking bolt ons only.. but talking within your stated 400 + or - a few dollars.

Hmmmm, CAI or SRI? I'm a bit concerned about hydro-locking to be honest. if i get a an SRI i dont need to worry about that right?

Depends on your driving style. Personally I like to handling first and then power. An RSB greatly improves the feel of the car for me and it's easily in your price range. The BLF adds a nice bit of torque in the mid range and about 13 peak HP if you want more power.

In the end, it's what you want from your car that's going to sway your decision. I think after my springs and short shifter I'll be saving for the Supercharger since that's the only way to make big power on this car really.

SRI doesn't need to worry about hydro lock. You could also get the AEM bypass valve that would prevent hydro locking on a CAI if you're really worried about it.

Thanks for the advice. So i guess its between a SRI or a rear sway bar! I'll sleep on it. Wish the ksk axleback was still available

Test pipe/down pipe/Cat Delete pipe is $180. Gives a little gain in power and gives the stock exhaust a nice growl and pop but not overly loud. A lot cheaper and just as good as an axel back IMO.

Oh and did you plasti dip your stock wheels or is that a new wheel?
