I installed mine recently and didn't feel a thing until about week into owning it, then I started to feel some extra low end power but nothin in the higher rpms. So far my gas mileage has been pretty terrible with it but it could be due to driving more aggressively since I put it on...

I think its worth it, but I'm still thinking of selling so I can afford halo 3 and a 360

I honestly think that a 4G63 swap is the way to go for power.

2 problems with what you said. those "cheap" bolt ons aren't cheap

header = $300
catback = $400+
intake= $100+

that certainly isn't cheap. especially when you consider all of that will only get you about 5whp.

secondly, the 4G63 swap will require lots of time and money. more than what most people have, also without a turbo the 4g63 is fairly useless. Basically for all the time, effort and money you would put into an evo engine swap. you could drop a decent turbo with supporting mods, get about 250whp, and still be waaayyy under the cost of the engine swap.

I think he may have meant to say 4g64... More potential...

hmm 10k for a 4g63 swap... Sounds like a damn good down payment on an Evo.

Depends on the kit/parts you buy. Call RRM and they can discuss your options in more depth.

just turbo it, get a SAFC II or neo and a UEGO then street tune it yourself and be happy

you can get better fuel controllers for less than half the cost

With an intake, header, exhaust, the car can be very loud. I don't know why I haven't put my silencer on tell you the truth but I guess I kinda like turning heads with it
