if you want upgrades that won't break your bank, i recommend you ask your question under "under the hood" and not JDM forum. By association JDM means you will shell out more $ they your probably ready to pay.

the only thing worth buying thats "JDM" is the J's Header. No point in wasting thousands on some intake that gives less gain then a regular cold air would. and no point in buying an exhaust for over a thousand just because of the name, when you can have a better one that'l look nicer, sound better, and give same to better gains for cheaper. I do like the JDm stuff tough

J's Racing is a great company like the AEM of Japan. Best bang for the buck. But you also have to realize they arent the top manufacturer for every part. They dont make the best intake, header, exhaust, etc. They are up there but are not the best for any particular application. There overall package is up there though. Not sure about endurance races though.

Although not justifiable to a lot of people, JDM parts are worth it to many. Sure I could get an exhaust from an American company of nearly the same quality that offers the same gains for half the price I payed for my Spoon. But I'll be so much happier with my Spoon exhaust when it arrives opposed to just getting an exhaust to be getting one.
Plus, I'm going to waste my money one way or another. If I bought cheaper parts, I'd just end up with extra cash and wish I had gotten the part I really wanted, regardless of price
