What mods should I do?

Wronka · 01-06-2012, 07:24 PM

So I have a little over $1000 bucks after selling a sound system and I am trying to figure out how to spend it on my car. I already have a Stillen Gen 3 intake so the next step I was thinking either save some more and get a Stillen dual exhaust system OR skip that and just buy some Berk test pipes and a set of Stillen Headers with the money I already have... what would you do?

If you want a CBE, I'd go with the Fast Intentions one, but I am biased.

A set of quality test pipes, F.I. or Motordyne get my vote, is a nice cheap way to get some good power, pair that with a tune and you'll be very pleased.

I wouldn't waste my time with the Stillen headers, very very minimal gains, if any, our stock exhaust manifolds are already shorty headers from the factory and flow pretty well.

I would save it, get another thousand bucks, now you have two thousand!

To OP: depends what you want. you can do exhaust or do suspension work. either way, im sure you'll love it

Stay away from headers. Get some form of exhaust.

Test pipes and a tune

forza370z · 01-07-2012, 02:39 AM

Save little more get both test pipes, FI cbe(or HKS) and UpRev tune!

Wronka · 01-07-2012, 05:44 AM

that FI CBE seems like what I will go for and then the FI test pipes. However, what's the different between the uprev tune and the COBB tune?
