Confused on what parts

I have the money for my parts. I am just confused on somethings. I have read to many posts about people not liking some hahn parts or dejon or all the others. This is what i want to get.
-Intercooler
-3in catback exhaust
-3in dp catless
-Cold air intake(CAI)
-IC piping
I am going with the S20g turbo kit from hahn.

If you guys and gals could help me. Tell me what you think is the best. Thanks for all the help

In my opinion
hanh is over priced...
dejon is not good...

ill give you a list of the items you want and what brand i would get...
-intercooler = synapse
-Catback exhaust = hanh (with a sale)
-DP = CIA catless
-Cold Air Intake = Injen
-IC piping = Injen

That intercooler from synapse is alittle pricy correct. Have you had any cells with your injen yet. I was looking at that injen ic piping very cheap. That comes with all the clamps to correct

no check engine lights, injen used my car to design the intake...

Shaunmcdee tuned my car and said that the intake was so perfect the car believed it was the stock intake... never had to touch maf sensor for anything...

ive also had people ask me what type of BOV i have on the car. Love the look when i tell them that its the stock BPV lol...

You forgot about Crazy Steve's IC. 250 bucks. I dont know what its rated at, but 250 bucks is a steal.

i know that it is a steal but from what i have read about there is some fabricating that has to be done.

i looked at the dejon route. i only did because i wanted to go atmospheric BOV so my turbo would last longer. some ppl dont have problems with them but then some ppl do.

intercooler = synapse
-Catback exhaust = hanh (with a sale), ARK, or custom
-DP = CIA catless
-Cold Air Intake = Injen, CIA, or AEM
-IC piping = CIA.


CIA includes their products with t bolt clamps.

DP from CIA is AMAZING

Intake is ur opinion. stay away from hahn and dejon

I would honestly stick to synapse. crazy steves intercooler is iffy. hahns intercooler blows welds

dont get the dejon bpv spring.

this is my opinion of course. but Ive read a lot and see testimonies and reviews of all this. so its up to u

all you need is the things they include in the package. they have fixed all errors and i have confirmed it with Crazy Steve

Go hahn exhaust if it is on sale somewhere. It is very quite though.

i have the dejon spring but no going to use it. i do not want to get turbo flutter or turbo surge. i have read all that also. i am going to stay clear of that. i live not to far from synapse. so that is not that big of deal.

i do not believe they have anythin for the SS/TC just yet. they were using my car as their test fitter. they didnt know our flange was different from the SC. so they will have stuff soon.

id say go with synapse.

but yeah. ARK exhaust coming soon

Synapse Turbo intercooler, charge piping, and catless downpipe. Than i'd say CIA for intake. mandrelexhaustsystems.com for 3" tubing kit (than optional if you want a muffler).
However if your set on hahns turbo kit, keep it all hahn. i hate mutts running around with one part from every company.
