OFFICIAL "What Mods Should I Buy?" Sedan Thread
#181
Most engine mods worth having are going to require tune - if you run lean from a breather mod, that's a good thing (once the a/f is adjusted of course).
#182
I thought I would find it on here but no luck so I'll ask now. I have an 04 Sedan 6spd, mods so far AEM CAI, 5/16 Plenum spacer, coupe Mid, Y-pipe, headers, Res. Test pipes. I have a chance to buy a UR Crank pulley ($60.) for those that have this is it a gain in HP or a worthless mod? If someone could give me their input ASAP I'm supposed to pick it up tomorrow.
Thanks

if you run lean it's doing it's job... any mod that makes you run lean is typically going to result in gains once you adjust a/f...

I don't use one (for whatever that's worth to you).

My turn. Introducing myself. New to this forum. New to the car since September '09. Got an '06 5AT non sport in Obsidian. Came with most every option that I can tell. Option group C, Nav, bluetooth, Aero package (I think), full power and black leather. No big mods yet. Upgraded to Hawk HPS pads since my stockers kept screaming at me, even though they were still fresh pads when I removed them. Also put on a 10-wire grounding kit to smooth out the shifts and the light bit of stereo noise I had. Both ills cured. Also did a K&N drop in filter. I'm too old to have loud exhaust, so no exhaust mods planned for my future. I do like the thought of the MD 5/16" spacer. I live in Vegas, so I doubt I need any "cold weather" parts for that kit. Also want to firm up the handling, not the ride. Car feels slow to respond in corners but feels perfect over the bumps. So I'm thinking GTSpec strut brace. Not sure what you call the brace underneath for the front or where to find them. Not sure what to do to the rear either. I'm interested in Z suspension conversion (springs/shocks) for the stance. I also want to go staggered on 19's or 20's (no bigger. I'm not a baller). Not sure what staggered fitment will work. I don't want to roll fenders or go "hellaflush". Just trying to make this car look clean. I'll link to pictures eventually, but for now just close your eyes and imagine a 4 door black G on stocker 17"s 7 spoke painted wheels and a spoiler and you have seen what I ride in. Any advice is welcome. Thanks!

If it were me, I'd would just have a list of mods I want and buy them as they become available on the used market. Way bigger bang for the buck value and any HR Y is going to be used anyway.

IDK about buying the spacer used...because of all the bolts and such that could with it. Speaking of spacers...do you think I should get the copper or the basic? I don't want to have to deal with the CCV and was wondering if it's worth the extra time to install the TB Heater/isothermal gasket.
Would I actually notice the HP difference in regular driving? And I understand the spacer gives it a slightly more aggressive sound?

Should I get a coupe mid/HR Y pipe or a spacer first? Or something else?
