After watching many post on the subject of performance mods I have the bug to go faster. I am not yet ready for the supercharger or turbo but I am thinking about CAI, V-afc and Exhaust. Which mod should come first? Which is the best bang for the buck? I am leaning towards either the Comptech, Roar or Injen CAI based mainly on post I have read. I like the sound of the Neuspeed exhaust but I saw a post that showed a loss of hp after install. I want a duel outlet exhaust. I read Tonyj's post about his exhaust question and am only more confused with all of the great suggestions.

While I have your attention, If you have any new or used mods you are thinking of selling and have not posted in group buy pm me.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Excluding all FI and NOS applications, the best bang for the buck is V-AFC or AEM EMS (not yet proven) and a 4.03-4.44 gear.

A CAI and Exhaust will look good and sound good (most CAI's in our car sound awesome) but they're not going to make a big enough performance difference that you start beating cars you used to lose to.

A lot of people overlook the final gear, because it's not "cool" and they can't show it off...but it's good for a 1/2 second drop in your 1/4 mile...which can't be equaled without FI / NOS.

 

thanks Wes.

 

Who makes one for the "S"? Did you have to mod one to fit or is there a drop in?

Thanks,

A final gear? Go with J's racing, talk to Mingster...he won't stop trying to sell me one.

 

1/2 second? damn, didn't know that.

 

IMO without a doubt the VAFC. Do a quick search and you will find dyno proven results of its effectiveness. If you go with a nice CAI and the VAFC, you will likely see a little more gains, but like many have already said, CAI and exhaust are mostly for sound and show when you look at mere numbers...Then again, with the right intake you could get a ram air effect, and you could also drop considerable weight with an aftermarket exhaust
