suggestions on a new mod for x-mas.

Hi guys, just wondering what you would suggest for a new mod for my car. I usually respect the wealth of info members have here.

I have RMR downpipe, stock cat, greddy evo cat back, typhoon air intake, fidanza cam gears, walbro fuel pump, mbc (22 psi). ACT street clutch.

I was thinking about a high flow cat, or/and the RMR intercooler pipes and/or a re-cir valve (not sure if I need one at 22 psi). any oponions?

I plan to top off my new mod with a dynoflash custom tune in january.

thanks guys.

Lose the typhoon intake, put the stocker back on with a K&N drop in.

Then I would get the test pipe (if your local laws allow it) and the IC piping.

Then a custom tune.

The best gift you could give yourself is to sell the Typhoon intake (or throw it in the trash). After that, get a cat replacement (test pipe or HFC), and then get a tune. Your car has a lot of useless mods right now, because you have an intake that hurts the car and you have no tune - two huge mistakes that make your car probably no faster than stock despite all those mods.

Not very good suggestions for this car and definitely not good overall to randomly add those mods without doing a full suspension setup that is designed by an expert. Too many people waste their money on these things without actually improving the handling dynamics of the car.

get a test pipe, having the stock cat robs you of so much power.

Those suspension components are the same ones being used on most Stage 1, in fact the same Bushings you just put on your MR. Just because you put Coilovers on, doesn't mean Swift Springs, WL Bump Steer and Trailer arm Bushings, is not a good sugestion. GTWorks and Robi both have this as the Stage 1.
