Check it and let me know wassup

Hey Yo Guys what do you think of these mods as a start??

1. Greddy Cat-back exhuast sys.
2. AEM cai sys.
3. RPW headers+DP
4. RRM piggyback computer.

How much you think would i gain??? and would this be a good way to go??

i would guess these #s using the higher #s though!

catback - 3-5% = 6hp crank = 4-5WHP
cai - 3-5% = 6hp crank = 4-5WHP
header/dp - 5-10% = 12hp crank = 10WHP
rrm piggy - 12% = 14.4hp crank = 13WHP

rough total at max assumption:: 31-33 WHP

I am probably wrong, but its only a guesstimate!

Thats a good start, one suggestion, ever think of getting a SAFC instead of the RRM ECU?

id go..

intake
headers/downpipe
cat back exhaust (also hi flow cat or test pipe...)
ecu

fortunately N/A mods dont shine until mixed with all other mods, so regardless which way you go....you'll gain a little more with each thing u do.

like..if u get an exhaust, it will give u 3 whp, if u get intake than and dynoed u would have an extra 10whp...so u think the intake gave u 7 whp...but if u got intake it would of given u 3whp, than exhaust would of brought it up to 10whp, so u thought the exhaust gave u 7whp...get what im saying??

me personally, i'd rather let my car breathe in better at first than exhaling. some people said they lost some low end doing the exhaust before intake

just start at the front, and work your way back

well those four mods..i was thinking of getting them all at once....and i rather get the piggy back computer than the safc cause i dont want to spend most of my time tuning ..this is just for the time being until i decide to get another car...know what i mean...and plus i want to put everything on at one shot...so i can feel a big difference when i stomp the peddle!!! and if you know anyone selling any of these items used...PLEASE PM ME!!!

either way cai first or c-back first, you will not get full potential from either unitl both are added.

sounds good, just save a up a little more for a throttle body and you will probably see some really nice gains

One thing to remember is that all of those parts don't give you power at the same rpm, You might get 5 from the intake at 5000 rpm and 5 from the header at 6000 rpm. So your peak will not be up buy 10, but you'll have a 5 hp gain across the board. Get what I'm sayin'.
