Does anyone have this setup or can comment on it? aftermarket, intake, header, test pipe but with a stock exhaust?

I plan on this setup to keep the stock look. My concern is the "bottle neck" affect. Or is the stock exhaust sufficient for the throughput?
Your thoughts and suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks in advance.

 

Save your mone.... Intake, header, T/P, and exhaust wont give you much in power increase, in fact may even loose power depending on the combination. Youll mostly likely just get louder sound and weight reduction. Get yourselve a Supercharger and clutch upgrade instead!

 

Buy yourself the 4.57R gearset and get more performance than i/h/e put together.

 

I agree.. I love mine.

 

great points!
How much does a supercharger system goes for now? 4-5k + installation. And the the needed new clutch- $500-$800
total of 7k. I better start putting money aside for the FI fund.

And for the 4.57R gear sets- I appoligize for being mechanically challeneged, but where does it give you better acceleration/kick? What ist he over all experience? Its running about 600 + installation

 

It gives you better accel throughout the whole RPM band. It is great and you wont regret it.

 

But more Cabin noise while cruising and worse fuel consumption.

 

Just a small side effect... My gas consumption is only increased on the highway. Besides its a sports car not a luxury cruiser so I dont really care about cabin noise.

 

My brother had the 4.57R gear in his turboed S2k and i am thinking about puting one in my car, but from what i heard it's good for short distance run and not that great on a long distance run. Somebody correct me if i am wrong.
