I was wondering since next summer i'm planning a turbo build if getting a lsj header would work fine for a small upgrade, all I have is the gm air intake. also the gm aftermarket muffler (put on when I got the car). but yeah I'm thinking either lsj header and tsudo exhaust (are those 2.5 btw?) and is that exhaust fine for turbo builds? i'm only shooting for 200 whp when i turbo it. or getting the 2.4 intake manifold. what would you guys think I'll enjoy more?

Also after I get either of those i'll be getting the trifecta tune. I figure intake mani, or that exhaust plus tune that's bout 500!

I'm going back to searching but what kind of gains does the trifecta tune give ya when you are virtually stock for the most part (or with just the minor mods I'll have).

Thank you!

I still need to get pictures up, it's an 06 ls sedan red black tints and gm lip kit all around.

also thinking about a street setup springs that'll just lower it slightly without needing new shocks. like an inch.

 

do you mean lnf exhaust manifold?

sorry misread, i thought u were turbo-ing now

 

Waste of money to get an LSJ exh. mani. right now if you'll be needing a turbo mani next summer. Just get the cat-back itself (2.5" will be fine...Tsudo works). I'd get the Tsudo and the 2.4 intake mani.

 

x2 wit 007, just get those and other supporting mods maybe like gauges, gauge pod, injectors etc.

are you goin custom or kit?

 

I'm doing the (sp?) zzp kit, 2400 with stage 2 and intercooler. though have people done just stage 1 and does it overheat without the intercooler?

would you say tsudo exhaust and 2.4 mani be better then gettin just 1 of those and a tune? (i'm leaning more towards the mani).

reason for an lsj header is something cheap to breathe till next summer, cause they are cheap i hear.

Also I hear since i have an 06 manual hptuners is another option, but who does the tune if you get that? and how much is it. or do I tune it myself. i'm computer savy but newbie when it comes to tuning. I've just done minor things with programmers

 

im selling the 2.4 mani but you may need a new adapter plat for it. im not sure
