Hey all,

Out of curiousity (and for future knowledge) i am wanting to know what would be some top or favorite mods for performance for a stock 2008 LNF for a $2500 dollar budget. my goal is to have full bolt ons (with exception of bigger turbo) intake, exhaust, DP,IC CP, Tune...and i would like to lower it a few inches as well. And i know some parts dont intermingle with other mods (ex...certain intakes with certain tunes) so any advice on that some recomendations of brands and their prices, that would be great! Thanks

 

These are just some examples:
Trifecta tune- $350
ZZP dp-$220
Big Steve IC-$250
Injen CP-$220ish
Airbox mod-$5
Custom exhaust-$400 (if its more than that, the muffler shop is jewish)
Thats $1445, so send me the other $1055 lol.

 

alright thanks. for whatever reason i've liked Hahn products...heard alot of good about them. is their higher price worth it performance-wise? specifally intake, CP, and exhaust.

and by Big Steve IC...is that the same as Crazy Steve? if so i've heard they are kinda overkill for a stock turbo...causing pressure drops. True?

 

Man I'm retarded, I meant Crazy Steve. I've heard nothing but good comments about it. As far as Hahn goes, you'll hear diff. things from diff people. i think their exhaust is too quiet and overpriced. Intake wise, the best mod seems to be doing the airbox mod from what I've heard and experienced. Charge piping I haven't really heard any complaints about any brands that make them, maybe someone else on here can give a little more insight.

 

Add pedders springs to that list for your drop.
Hahn seems to be unjustifiably expensive. Injen is a good company.
Wheel hop is a killer so also add solid motor mount and rotated trans mounts to your list unless you like snapping axles.

 

haha thought so. well i know a guy here where i live that has the Crazy Steve and he said he didn't like it at all cuz of mean pressure drops. but idk. for exhaust i want a low deep rumble sound. will the airbox mod have a different sound to it? i've heard that the hahn intake has a pretty good sound too it.

what about Dejon products? Good? bad?

Thanks! What brands and cost for the mounts? any brand as good as any?

 

I had the dejon intake and my car ran a little jerky, def had the pssh sound though, all intakes will give you that sound. The airbox mod sounds good IMO, even better with k&n filter. I don't know jack about mounts, my buddy has them in his ss/sc and it rides terrible so I'll go w/out.

 

well if you wanted to get the crazy steve ic i'll sell it to ya my new synapse came in today

 

Personally I have TTR Mounts and polly bushings $190 and $50
OTTP sells replacement trans mounts rather than just bushings but those are $205
The polly bushings from TTR will do just fine. They're a great vendor.

 

^ this

 

How much for the IC?

 

A million threads/posts about this (search)but I think you're on the right track. These cars are quick on bolt-ons and a tune. Go with Trifecta! I'll be re-tuning with them soon.

Austinss has some good info for ya...use the rest of your money for a coilover kit or good springs.

 

^ says the guy with a hahn tune lol

 

I think he's stock

 

the synapse was 450+shipping i'm the one that has the crazy steve on and it pressure drops from 24 to 17-19 and it falls on its face like embarasingly bad

 

Damn, wander if there's a break in one of the welds? Did you try testing it?

 

no not yet lol did you mean how much would i sell it for?? lol definatly not 450 i thought you meant how much was the synapse for some reason. and i haven't had it out to check it yet but if you want it i'll let you know what happens cause there was someone else that asked me about buyin it but i'm sure they don't want it now

 

Oh yeah, no worries man. I was curious how much you'd sell it for.

 

Yea i've heard TTR is a good vendor...was probably going to order the majority of my stuff from them. do those mounts or bushings make the ride quality any different?

What about Dejon CP and IC? any insight on those?

 

hey...i just want to know how u modified your air box? thanks Jared

two different ways. there is some pics for the steps

 

I did the first way but I didn't cut a hole in the pipe that goes off the bottom of the airbox, I just grinded it down enough to fit.
