Long stretches of highway lol. I've been 125 in my bone stock auto lol.

 

How big is your budget? Cause here is the list I came up with:
Badmab Header- $189
ZZP Downpipe with Cat- $223.99 at the most
Then whatever cat-back you want

 

And TTR has the Pacesetter exhaust for $269.99 and supposedly they re-worked the problems with it but I haven't seen any reviews about it yet.

 

A friend of mine has the catted ZZP downpipe and he's auto and he says he usually gets a check engine light from the cat flowing too much. Have other people had this issue as well? Or is it just something that comes with having a high flow cat?

 

Its normal. They even state it on the product description. It just sets the light, has no effect on performance/emissions.

 

Income tax im looking $300 to $500 max and today I got my back cat taken out and it already improved a good bit.

 

when u installed ur intake did u remove the air silencer?

 

No I just took off the stock piping plastic filter housing and intake.

 

That makes me want to forget the header and dp, I cant stand those damn warning lights.

 

so that means u have a SRI (short ram intake), with the cone filter inside the engine bay?

check this out, its a free mod, and will free up more air to the intake, making it a little louder

those r the instructions with missing pictures, but below, has a picture of the silencer (start at step #6) that u should remove. i found it easier going underneath the car, removing the passenger side fender liner, and unbolting it that way. but whatever u think is easier do i that way. its a great mod

Thanks for the thread info but I think Im going to leave it the way it is for now since its cold I dont want to be freezing my ass working on my car and by looking at that I should just remove the stock lower part of the intake. I really dont want it to get any louder as the cops are already (watching) me after I took the back cat off it got louder.

Im strongly debating on the header and dp....Is it really going to be worth it for a once a year or so race on a highway car?

 

it really depends on how far you go with the car. I was only going to full bolt ons but now im getting a S/C set up. (due to me not affording a better car)

 

Ok so here are my hopes/dreams or what not...Damn economy and job cutting hrs

Im looking to be running SRI+ Header+Catted DP+Catback exhaust

So basically Im want to completely redo the exhaust

any idea on what kind of gains I would be looking at on an auto?

 

will probably achieve low 15s

dyno will probably 160ish

 

I knew I should have just gotten the SS ;-(

damn thats a bit heart breaking for over $700 worth of bolt ons and I was also going to throw in a Trifeca Tune, would that do much?

 

If u do a full bolt on+tune which means full exhaust, intake, 2.4 tb/im, and trifecta tune, youll be looking at 180ish. thats what im going to do and for a dd, thats decent and fun

 

its still a fun car but it will get old and you will want faster eventually

find somebody with HPtuners around your area

 

hp tuners dont do 2.2 balts as far as i know...

 

Yes they do..

 

06 is the only year not supported.

 

well at least in not going to get a body kit and slap ss decals on my LT like some guys around my area lol. Think Im going to stay with what I got and then just get a better car down the road like a blue EVO X.

 

or just get a ss/tc. there better then the evos. they set the fwd track record on the neuberghring a while back

 

they are definitely not better than an EVO

 

Evo X stock off the lot will leave the SS if its stock and the car just looks better, especially with the right wheels
