What to spend $1250 on if you had it?

SS_Firehawk · 02-23-2013, 06:45 PM

definitely TP's or HFC's. Resonated TP's though. Agreed as well for tuning. Sway's or oil cooler, that's a toss up.

O wait I forgot in america when you pay off your car loan that's when you sell it, lose as much as possible and then go and get another car loan to put you further into debt.

I had $1250.... then I bought Powertrix R/T coilovers..... had it again, now I have lite speed SS exhaust on the way also. only had $500 this last time....z1 ss clutch line and hotchkis sway bars on the way as well lol.

A better LSD (Quaife?)

UNKNOWN_370 · 02-24-2013, 09:56 AM

$300 and Eibach sways will really enhance what you have on there.
$500 HFC would be nice too...
SPL suspension components would improve the ride as well. But doing that right will eat up your $1250 quick... So i would probably d the first two and save the $500 and get lighter weight susp. components eventually.

So what are the advantages and disadvantages between high flow cats and test pipes is it only the restriction on air flow? Almost double the price between the tps and HFCs

SS_Firehawk · 02-24-2013, 11:55 AM

HFC's are cats and they are expensive. Test pipes are just pipes. Resonated TP's have a perforated tube usually packed with glass to baffle out harsh sounds. Cats are usually 200-300 Cell and quiet things down because of the cells the exhaust passes through. HFC's will generally produce 3-5whp less than a test pipe. Benefits to the HFC, exhaust is obviously cleaned, no "funky" exhaust fumes, and for some, quieter and not as harsh as a non resonated test pipe. Resonated HFC is the same as the test pipe with a HFC.

TP's make more power. The reason why they are so cheap is because they are basically just a straight through pipe. The problem with most test pipes is the rasp/loudness, and the hiss the engine makes is very noticeable. Not to mention the possibility of SES light coming on. And depending on what state you live it TP's can make it very hard if not impossible to get a sticker. I say get HFCs first, and TP's after. That way you can get a sticker, and just change them out accordingly

AlexRaymond19 · 02-24-2013, 12:04 PM

Didn't see your reply SS lol

SS_Firehawk · 02-24-2013, 12:16 PM

lots of threads on this LSD

diddy535 · 02-24-2013, 02:43 PM

I'd say for sways go with whitelines, they are heavier but that's because they're solid not hollow, just a preference. Also they're adjustable. FBNissan can get you front and rear for a really good price (not sure if I'm allowed to post it).

I think G3s are also a great addition, they're one of the more popular intakes around here.

You'd still have a couple hundred to putz around with after those two, even more if you do the work yourself! Good luck OP!
