OFFICIAL "What Mods Should I Buy for my Coupe?" Thread
Also, even though you are not getting the MREV 2, I have read it also helps if you basically port and polish your lower plenum, to help the air flow better. This you could do at home with a dremel or grinder. I have the Rev UP and think for money cost I am just gonna do this to mine. I have seen results where guys are getting almost as good of results by doing this with the Rev Up plenum.
Im gonna check youtube to see if anyone has posted a video of doin this.
I have $1,000 to spend on mods. What should I get? Car is an '06 6MT Coupe.
I like performance and handling more-so than looks (can't get nice rims with a fat lip on a 1K budget anyway). If I get an exhaust, can't drone or be too loud since my commute is all interstate. Thinking Stillen air box + z-tube, about $250.
I test drove a car with Nismo exhaust and thought it sounded awesome, but those are listed at $1,300, maybe I can grab just a used muffler? Thoughts?

u can get the nismo used for roughly $500 in gd quality. it sounds really nice, the most different is after 2800rpm. check out my videos if u wanna hear it.

I plan on lowering my car and hopefully getting a set of rims. I've decided to go with coilovers and wanted to know what's a safe drop without scraping too much.
Also after all this, I've decided that I actually enjoy how negative camber looks and that's what I want to run... so therefore I don't need a camber kit right?
Besides more inside tire wear, are there any other negatives to running - camber?
With rims, I'm running on OEM 18s right now, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any nice looking 5 spoke rims, preferably silver/chrome with no beads for that size?
I want to keep it fairly basic and hopefully avoid having to do TOO much work (fender, etc.) if possible. If not, that's fine.

I was just referring to the color.

Have an all stock '04 5AT. Have about 800$ to spend, not sure where to start. Was thinking cold air intake/z-tube and maybe a muffler or something. Any help would be appreciated!
MD plenum spacer and High Flow Cats or Test Pipes. forget the CAI unless you like the sound.
So I bought & installed a OEM Z-tube and K&N filter in the stock airbox.
Next thing im going to is the Plenum... not sure if i should buy just a spacer kit or the Kinetic V+ Plenum itself.
Suggestions?

I started with exhaust, and intake.
Exhaust and intakes
I was hoping by now somebody with more experience would have responded by now - you plan on doing the work yourself? Not sure if that's enough to make any serious gains...but if nobody else respond - ask on the General discussion forums under Coupe - 03-07
