Greets...

So in all seriousness...the mods are not going to get you much of a gain. So if you are trying to mod it for an increase, then you will be disappointed on how much you have to spend for not very much of a difference.

That said...

The exhaust...it depends on what you want out of it...for "dyno proven" gains (haa) and a nice sound...you can't go wrong with the Racing Beat Rev8.

GOD I love the way it sounds...its just THAT good...in my opinion. Nothing overbearing.

For intake, your best bet will be to perform the airbox mod to the factory unit. Purchase a K&N (I use Green) panel filter and your good to go.

Unfortunately you have the weakest version of the RX which exists. Not much is going to change your world short of purchasing a 06+ AT or going straight to an MT.

The last option is to get a turbo or supercharger. In fact my recommendation would be for you to save your money on the mods, and purchase the Pettit supercharger kit. In your case, I think it would be the best bang for your buck.

for the 1st gear issue, I'd recommend a flywheel.

It definitely helped me with non sluggish pickups from standing starts....

Except the flywheel mod is not an option for an AT owner like the OP.

Check out the AT performance thread. You'll find some good discussions on the AT there.

You might be able to look into getting CRH's radiator when it's done and then add nitrous, I don't know how far East in TX you are but in Garland you can go to Rotary Performance and pick up a good exhaust setup. Greddy SP2 with their hi flow cat or midpipe depending on if you want to pass emissions and how loud you want it to be.

Uhh...shes a newb to the forum...so instead of flaming them as I normally do...I take into consideration the post count and if they are being sincere...

"They" were being sincere...so I gave a legit answer...

The fact the OP has ***** had nothing to do with my decision...I'm an equal opportunity flamer...I flame with complete and utter disregard for the innocent bystanders....

Having bewbs on here helps for the most part tho...

I heart bewbies just like everyone else too...

Depends what you want done, and how much you have to spend...oh and where you are...

If you are close enough I'm sure it wouldn't be that big of a deal to help you out...most bolt-on's are pretty simple...

PM me if you wanna discuss...
