Default Best Bang for the Buck.

Hey Guys/Gals. This Q has prob been asked 309483 times. But my Comp is being a crack head and i cant search. So i was wondering If you Guys Can tell me What mod would give me the most power. I had a AEM CAI in mind (any Inputs on this Intake with be great). And a Catback Exhuast with a test pipe. But Dont know wich catback is Nice and loud and Very straight. Do you guys Put 3inch Catbacks on s2000?


Thanks Andy

AEM V2, and T1R 70mm are the two best products for the money. Try to find used systems for more "buck"

Used:
V2 - 150-180
T1R - 700-800

New:
V2 - 250
T1R - 1000

Check the for sale forums often. If not, hit up Ben at AJ racing for the exhaust. They have great customer service.

You may want to use another computer to try the search function. If you are able to get a hold of another computer that works with the search function, run a search for gear/gears (final drive gear). There were a lot of posts that explained the myths and facts that people gathered.

Anyway, NA mods would get you dismal gains with a small budge, unless you go all the way with the J's engine, FI, or some other expensive mods (like ECU with a ton of other mods). Modifying this little car isn't going to be cheap ...

in terms intake i would say keep the stock airbox with a new filter inside, maybe add a snorkle, but dont "molest" the engine bay, i have had 2 intakes (aem v2 and K&N fipk) and i wish i had the stock intake on the car, the fit and finish is so much better then most intakes offer. plus thrre isnt much to be gained in overall tq/hp gains than with the stock intake. but for bang for the buck s/c is the way to go. ive had the car for almost 3 years and i always told myself i wasnt going to go f.i, so much for plans...
