Hey guys, haven't posted in a while, been busy as hell and Spring screams mod time so here I go for a bunch of mods a knowledgeable friend of mine (owns a small garage) is gonna do to the car on Thu/Fri this week.

Right now I have a strut tower brace, a z-tube & Stillen intake and a Gen2 Stillen cat-back. I'm still rolling on stock 17's and winter tires because I live in a hole up north (Pembroke) in Ontario, Can. Moving to Barrie, close to Toronto this July.

-5/16" MD spacer
-DC Sports (ceramic ) headers
-Stillen engine damper brace
-18X8" TSW Jarama's, gloss black w/ 235/45ZR18 Proxes 4's - the less-than-ideal-Canadian-special that does well 8 months/year around here. IMO anyway.

Alignment to come in the next week or so.

I'm going for an UpRev tune in May down in Toronto, hopefully correct the A/F ratio as I may be running lean for about a month... nevertheless, expecting to feel a bit of a difference come Friday afternoon. Stepping it up a notch, basically.

Coilovers same time next year after some time in beautifully paved Barrie.

 

I would skip the headers. The gains you might see won't justify the cost of the headers and installation. Get some HFCs or Motordyne's ART pipes instead. they replace the stock cats and will free up the exhaust flow and you will see decent gains, especially with the tune.

 

Because I work on military bases, and especially since I'm moving to the base where the MP school is, I can't do test pipes or HFCs... the headers have a CARB tag, they're legal. Pipes/HFCs would increase exhaust loudness by a lot, even more so than the headers will. Gotta run cats!! Check out Ontario's Drive Clean program.

My friend isn't charging me full price on labor either.

 

Gotcha.
