I was looking to do these or berk's as well. Did you do the install yourself?

 

Hey guys for a 2006 6mt Is a ground kit worth it?

 

^No

 

Hey I've got about $2k to spend on my '04 G coupe (6MT), Sport pkg, brembo's; all stock. I wanna start under the hood before workin my way out but...

what performance mods can I get for around $2k? What, if anything for that, is gonna boost horsepower?

Thanks

 

i chewed through a connecting rod bearing in my number 5 cylinder and ive got my entire engine down to the block right now i dont just want to have this block apart for no reason i was thinkin about a stroker kit does anyone know of anything exciting besides the Bryan Crower setup

 

i just recently bought a 2006 coupe 6 speed MT, i am starting the process of looking and researching performance parts that i would like to add. i want it to be completely street legal as it is my daily driver so please keep that in mind. this is what i have come up with so far for what i would like to add, if you have any suggestions or things that maybe you would recommend doing differently i would appreciate all the advice i can get thanks...

Stillen Z-tube Intake Kit $250
Stillen Hi-flow catalytic converters $500
Stillen dual exhaust system $1300
Stillen stainless headers $650
MD 5/16" plenum spacer $230
MREV2 manifold $500

So totalling about $3,500 and then paying someone obviously to put the stuff in(i rather have a professional do this kind of work). Eventually i'll add strut braces and sway bars to sure things up with the added power. Anybody have these mods, any idea on what kind of gains i could expect to gain from these mods, thanks guys for anything!

 

If you get a tune you will see about 40hp. I'm guessing here lol.


What I would reccomment is to look in the market place for these things to save you quite a bit of cash. Also mix and match brands man.


Or take the money and invest in FI. More power for the buck.

 

For my 2004 5AT G coupe
Have 5/16 spacer, intake, x02 dual exhaust

Should I get test pipes, headers, or cats next?
I dont have to test for emissions to pass inspection in NJ, but which of these are legal?

I'm looking for the best power gains for the money, and dont want to add rasp or a whole lot of noise.

 

^Go with HFC's

 

Knetix HFC's are the way to go! but make sure you bend the heat sheild back or it might rattle. Then id consider a dyno tune

 

I have everything but the mrev2 and headers, you should expect about 75hp gain on paper... probably would want to go with a tune to really get all u can out of the mods

 

Test pipes look more in my price range, looking at like new megan test pipes for $120.

Not sure if I can justify dropping like $450 right now. What are the major differences between HFCs and test pipes?

 

not sure if serious.....

 

TP are louder, raspy and you will smell exhaust fumes. You will also not pass a sniffer test if your state does that for emissions.

 

NJ doesn't test emissions so i'm not worried about that.

From what i'm finding in other threads though it looks like HFC is the way to go. What about headers though?
