you are asking a heavily weighted ? here & ur lucky no one has chimed in to flame u 4 not SEARCHING. i will b nice today & help u out, however the path i will mention may be subject 2 debate by other members.

here is the order i used on both my EVO's:
TURBO TIMER (az heat was a **** w/interior car temps over 56 degrees C but some feel u don't need it)

3" TURBOBACK EXHAUST (may have 2 use stock or 3" cat depending on if u want 2 meet emissions laws in your state)

PANEL FILTER (stock airbox is good up to 400WHP)

BOOST CONTROLLER/GAUGE (u can go manual or electronic on these items)

ECU FLASH (your car runs rich from factory to pass emissions-u WILL need a tune!!!!!!)

REAR SWAY BAR/ENDLINKS/REAR STRUT TOWER BRACE/FRONT SUBFRAME BRACE (evo understeers real bad under power so these items will neutralize most of that)-u could also add COILOVERS but some feel it's overkill on the street

BRAKE ROTORS/PADS (stock pads squeak & make alot of dust, rotors warp easily under repeated heavy braking)

FLUIDS (i chose to run Royal Purple all the way around except brake fluid)

CLUTCH (u will need 1 VERY SOON if u plan on alot of drag racing as this is the weak link on evo's)

with the above items & can good driving, u should be able to hit mid 12's in the 1/4 mile on pump gas & low 12's or even hi 11's on race gas. after this point, most people get: cams, intercooler, big turbos kits, engine mgmt-obviously there are other parts u WILL need to support those go fast bits.

hope this helps a little but it all depends on the ultimate goal for your car. for example, a GT35R turbo kit might not be the best choice if you want to road race...good luck

Just click on my sig and don't waste your money on a titanium exhaust - they aren't any more powerful and cost way more than stainless steel exhausts. No, those titanium exhausts have nothing to do with the downpipe. They don't even touch the downpipe.

Please learn to search or at least use the Newbie forum.

JIC does make badass exhaust. two of friend have it. Weight like feather. I guess weight reduction doesn't mean anything to some poeple or they just don't know ****.

Here man let me make things easy for u. Look on my sig and thats what you need to be around 350whp on close to stock boost. I am also most likely a 11 sec 1/4mile car as well definitely low 12's though. And this cost me literally less than 1200.
