Inlet hose doesn't get you much. I have one so I should know.

Buy the uppipe. It should come from the factory without a cat.

i have the perrin crank pulley. feels good,(at 3800-4000 difference) not expensive. that and an uppipe should be good.

here's another recommendation- its not a power mod, but its 30 bucks and has the most bang for your buck steering rack bushings from whiteline,superpro or noltec.

Don't get the combo, just get the uppipe, buy the downpipe when you have more money.

steering rack bushings are really awesome. But i think you can do the up down combo for 500. Have some friends help install it or buy someone from the board a pizza and beer and they might do it

no cause its more expensive and both catted and catless down pipes are illegal anyways ! plus you'll get more power from catless.
