Default Help me spend money!

This is a little harder than I thought it would be. In my old car I had sweet system setup that would not fit in my new S, (2) 15" Allpine type-r's and 1200 watt amp. Was taking up space in the garage and could not get rid of them.
Bottom line, a guy I know traded me $700 in gift certifacates to Express Auto Parts . I dont know what to get, and I have not been on here long enough to pick up reputations on brands of perf. parts.

Headers: DC sports or Vibrant
Springs: Eibach Pro kit (1") or Skunk 2 2.5"
Intake: AEM or Injen

There is a lot of things on there. The only exhaust I see on there is "APEXI WORLD SPORT MUFFLER REAR SECTN". Anyone know what that looks like. They dont really give a pic or tell you if it is dual.

If anyone else has delt with this company let me know.

Dc sports and LOOOOSE power. Do a search.
Springs? No good. Try coils.
AEM, Injen=no power.

Apex exhaust?= No power.

Hope that helps from a old fart like me.

AEM and Injen cold air intakes do add power. About 5-7 hp to the wheels and at least that much in torque.

I disagree. Injen V1 was a disaster. 5-7Hp is a dynopack, dynopacks always overrate the power. One of the most reliable CAI is still the JR filter.

If AEM is 5-7HP then Mugen and all the CAI is out of business. 1-3 is a better number dependent on temperature.

There are plenty of dyno charts that prove that both those cold air intakes are producing that amount of horsepower gains.

None of them. Do some more research.
