500 to spend, what to get?

akgambler47 · 06-23-2010, 08:26 PM

Just got the Agency Power exhaust on, wondering what to get next, performance wise. Im maybe leaning towards intakes, but want to see what ppl think, would be best choice. I know test pipes/ hfc's are good, but are intakes up there too? And what intakes perform best?

HFC/Test pipes definitely.

What are you looking for? HFCs usually offers "best bang for your buck" but by installing them you get into the whole emission thing with the states (at least my state) and if you do not have to right tool, you can't install it yourself (not to mention the demon bolt

). Intake on the other hand will give your car nice growl on acceleration and are much easier to install. Intakes like STILLEN G3 give you about 12-17 HP. Since you've already done exhaust, your gains are NOT going to too much. So, it's up to you to decide what you want to install. My vote is for nice intake system. BTW, there are HFCs that are about $300. So, wait a few weeks, save up a little more and you can have BOTH!

I have stillen long intake, really enjoy the way it looks, and it's performance.

someone was selling turbo whisperer or something....

i would use that towards intake if making power is your goal.

My next $500 is going into my tire fund.
I've been turning the VDC off

Like others have said above, the Stillen G3 intakes are great, I love mine. They look great and add about 15 hp that you can tell a difference with.
