1. sway bars

3. springs

everything else comes after that.

 

IMO, if an "upgrade" doesn't perform, i.e. doesn't actually do anything to enhance the performance of your car, you don't need it. Therefore, HIDs, to me, are not an "upgrade" and fall under the category of body kits, supermarket spoilers, neon lights, and basically anything else that you see in the Fast & the Furious movies.

With respect to the Cobb Accessport, I will agree that the off-the-shelf maps are not very impressive. They are intentionally made "safe" because they are meant to work on all cars. To really extract its full potential, you need to have a tuner use the Accessport to make a custom map for you. If you do that, I am sure you will notice a helluva big difference over just a downpipe.

Just for "poops" and giggles, here is my list (from a cost-effective point of view):

1. cat-less downpipe
2. uppipe
3. ported/polished manifolds
4. TMIC Y-pipe
5. turbo inlet (maybe)
6. Accessport w/ Custom tune
7. better tires
8. larger rear sway w/ endlinks
9. springs designed to work with stock struts OR KYB GR2's w/ swift springs
10. better brake pads w/ synthetic fluid

Csi: Ny Advice

 

^^^looks like a respectable top 10 to me. I really can't wait for my custom tune with COBB Accessport. I plan on making a meeting with EQ Tuning or GST very soon...

 

1.) cobb accessport
2.) erz catless uppipe
3.) titek catless downpipe
4.) borla hush catback
5.) protune
6.) sumitomo htr III tires
7.) eibach springs
8.) 5zigen wheels
9.) (save for axxis ultimate pads)
10.) (save for upgraded rotors...don't know which yet)

 

Some practical advice - unless you are done with power "mods," you may want to hold off on getting a custom tune, because if/when you add more things, i.e. catback, manifolds, vf39 (since your '06 comes with larger injectors, you might as well make use of them, right), etc. you'll want to have it tuned again. No sense in paying for a custom tune multiple times, right?

Instead, you might want to opt for an off-the-shelf map from one of the tuners (I believe EQ Tuning offers some) that are tailored to fit your current mods. In essence, it's a semi-custom tune - better than Cobb's off-the-shelf map, not as good as a full custom tune. Just a thought...

So there you go.

 

Edit: stickers, giovanis, and sub? doesn't seem this thread is going anywhere serious...

 

1: Recaro SSL from an Evo (best "car feel" mod)
2: 6 speed swap, with rear LSD and diff controller (best piece of mind and driveability mod)
3: VF-39 with bigger injectors and STI or Spearco topmount (best bang for the buck power mod)
4: AP with Protune (second best power mod, required IMO)
5: Rota 17x9" DPTs with Dunlop Z1 Star Specs in 245x40 (second best driveability mod)
6: bushings (best bang for the buck mod, second best "car feel" mod))
7: RCE yellow springs and Group-N tophats (favorite suspension mod)
8: Sway bars (second favorite suspension mod)
9: Cobb turbo back exhaust (thirs best power mod, also required)
10: HIDs (best night driving/safety mod)
