ummm why are you going for a 2.25 cat back when you're plannin on going SC'ed.? you have a 2.5" pipe cat to axle, then 2.25 from axle back... you'd be better off getting a 2.5 cat back especially since you're planning on going sc. and a tune never hurts really

dont waste your money on a CAI. you will have to replace it when you go s/c anyways. so thats 250 bux you could have spent on the s/c. You can get a used m62 for 400-500. thats half the m62.. Think ahead my friend. Dont spend money on something your just going to replace in the long run, you will save a lot of money that way.

hehe i'm gonna undermind you again why get a CAI if you're going to SC it and not be able to use it haha... personally i would say full exhaust.. lower, traction mods as well as Short throw, some good tires and lighter rims would start you off well.. then save for the SC and you'll be set for a bit

muahahahahaha... lol jk dude. im goin to bed, i gotta be up in 5hrs...


elec is right, if you get a nice exhaust you will have a happy car. it may have shitty low end torque before you get the s/c but you will be happy knowing your car is breathing properly under boost. A short-throw is a good idea too, unless your auto lol.

well if you're making a plan then what i listed will set you up good for a bit.. oh yea and add a tune in there too after the full exhaust and i'm sure the 170 or close to now WHP will make you smile till you save for the sc setup
