I had to buy an automatic cause manuals are really rare and hard to find in my area (plus traffic here is insane) and I was wondering if it was worth modding. I have some money to throw around and wanted to start off with some basics. Any suggestions on which route to take? I'd appreciate any advice!
Get urself a grounding kit. I have a 6MT but from what I have heard the grounding kit will really improve shift times and helps out the automatic pretty good. Also Hotchkis swaybars will give a nice difference that you will notice.

Strafe doesnt have one in poly. You have to contact ArchInd. He is just completing the poly Inven, I was in on the group buy.

How hard will it be to put on a true dual exhaust myself? I have access to a lift but havent done anything like that before. My friend is a mechanic so he might be able to help me out.

Good to hear

Hooray for HKS replicas... so not worth spending 2.2k for the real thing.

I've heard the replicas need to have the tips modified a bit to fit the bumper better. So you might have to run it to an exhaust shop after you install it.

I heard that as well. The tips are bolt on now though, in case they dont line up... hopefully they'll be okay

I got an 04 Coupe A/T. Already have exhaust, spacer, and intake. Was going to get some HFC's next when I get back to the states but I was wondering about getting a tune afterward. Is it worth it for the tune with what I consider to be not a lot of mods on the car yet? If it is worth it, what company should I go with and if you have one how big of a difference did you feel? I'm in the Ft Hood,TX area. Any help is appreciated.

I have an 05 coupe 6MT and am looking to put about $2,000 worth of performance parts in. I have a fujitsibo legalis r exhaust already on the car. What do you guys think of a kinetix velocity manifold, stainless steel stillen headers, Kinetix HFC (wanted to stay smog legal), JWT pop charger with z tube, unorthodox racing pulley kit, and angled plenum spacer? Would these parts work well together, and are they reliable?
