Im going SC sometime in the near future but i already want a little more bang in my car. What mods can i get now that will compliment a Vortech/KraftWerks SC kit

Im looking into the Greddy SE exhaust, and headers (either J's or the Mugen). But what else can i get now that wont clash with going SC.

 

methonal injection, aem ems, more boost, stuff, things, and such...

 

This.

Catback
test pipe/hfc
header
throttle body
ported intake mani
gears
suspension
weight reduction
AEM EMS

 

Mugen AP2 Header.

Especially for a CT/VT/KW.


The Mugen AP2 header is designed to broaden the power band at the expense of a bit of peek hp.

Since the KW/CT/VT are progressive boost a header that helps add TQ in the mid range will give you a better driving experience.

the in creasing boost pressure will give you the peek hp.

Just as an FYI on My roots supercharger setup I actually lost power (~ 3hp and 5tq dyno dynamics) going to the AP2 Mugen exhaust over my modified OEM exhaust.

My modified OEM exhaust is stock until just before the factory split. I put a much smoother split post the stock resonator and used a set of Dynomax Racing bullet mufflers with the OEM tips welded on. ( all mandrel) Stock Piping to 2.0” dual to the dual mufflers that have 2.25 internal piping.
The main restriction on the OEM exhaust is the design of the split and the triple pass mufflers.


I love it when people ask if I have done a V6 motor swap based on the sound of the exhaust.

 

money.....money......money....pour more money!

 

flashpro

 

thanks.

As for exhaust goes like i mentioned above i wanted the Greddy SE or invidia Q300. My shop told me that i can get more power out of a custom setup that they could do for me but in all honestly 3-5hp off a custom setup, id rather have the nice aftermarket exhaust that sounds and looks nice.

They suggested mandrel piping (size unknown at the time) with some Magnaflows + add my stock tips. But at the same time the sound and look from the Greddy is

 

i saw the toda header flashpro option as well. But in order to make it get those 30whp that it promises i need a intake as well and dont wanna spend $300 on a intake unless imma keep it. I can always sell it on here later but my SC savings will just be deducted more if i buy an intake

 

Mugen exhaust +$1600, waiting time, shipping

My custom setup including welding up everything $200

Getting 3 more hp and 5 more TQ then a name brand exhaust priceless


Be carful with a shop talking you into a custom setup unless they can prove that it in fact makes more power then a nice after market setup.
Just about anything is going to be better then stock but when comparing to an reputable company such as J’s, Mugen, Greddy, Aura ect. There quality and workmanship is hard to beet.

I am a mechanical engineer so I understand why exhaust are made the way they are.
Even with all that knowledge and experience making a number of different setups.

There is a bit of luck and trial and error involved in making an exhaust.

Each car setup is different and what worked on one setup may not work on another.
Something as minor as a 70 mm tb vs a stock one can change the design of an exhaust significantly when trying to extract maximum power.
