most gains?

So im sitting on abotu $800 that i want to spend on making my car louder and faster. Im not really looking to get a whole new exaust, more along the lines of headers, throttel bdy spacers, test pipes, down pipes, or HFC

out of all of thouse what combo woulld give me my most bang for the buck. and what companys should go with?

as of right now im looking at 1/2 spacers, megan racing long pipes headers, and Megan racing resonated test pipes.
PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG

*KEEP IN MIND: the 800 is with install!*


thanks for your help!

Depends on what year G you have? Do you have the REVUP or NONREVUP model? And if you go with anything I would recommend the Motordyne ART pipes, heard nothing but great things about them. I'm getting myself a pair very soon.

I'd prob go with a 5/16 spacer. IMO. If you think you'd want to go the HFC or maybe even test pipes I'm not sure, the Motordyne MREV2 provides the same outcome pretty much as HFC.

From what I've heard and read, 1/2 would better suit a FI rather than an NA. So I guess unless you plan on going FI on your 5AT then get the 5/16. The type of spacer should also be looked into based on the type of climate you live in.

Ok. Well you should be ok with a basic spacer. If you check the motordyne product descriptions it'll tell you what climates each are best in.

Plenum spacer and test pipes and no to headers as for the money they give little to no power increase.
