Unhappy Alright everyone, completely lost!!!!

Hey everyone,

Alright after heading to the meet at mount hammy, I am seriously stoked about workin on my car, however, I haven't used the forum to much and don't know where to ask questions so hopefully this is a good place. I want to know what I should start with when it comes to fixing my car up. Where should I start, intake, exhaust? i'm lost and i'm not looking for expensive projects. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

try reading our reviews section. countless members have submitted excellent reviews of mods that they installed. maybe that will help you where you want to go in terms of modifications....

skip the intake. cut out the silencer. buy exhaust, downpipe. i have a hks high power and dont like the look. sounds good. helix up and down pipe are nice. last, buy my accesport. I got a turbo other than the 34. no use anymore. my buddie will sell you a dirt cheap injen cai. good condition. the SEARCH button has everything. also use nasioc. have fun.

Do the silencer delete and a K&N Panel filter to start with. From there I would think about tires if you are still on the RE92's and sway bars.

Then Downpipe and Up pipe, exhaust, reflash or accessport....

The review section is great and the search button is your friend. Good rule of thumb is that if you are thinking of asking it then someone probably already did.

Overall have fun doing it....learn some stuff along the way and go FastAR!!!!

Good luck!

If you follow the piping from your airbox you will notice that it goes into the fenderwell right next to the airbox. Inside the fenderwell is a huge piece of plastic that muffles the sounds created by the turbo spool up and the sound of air rushing into the airbox. You can buy an elbow that just replaces the silencer box anywhere...

Dave at Oakos has them at a reasonable price. http://www.oakos.com/Merchant2/merch..._Code=GPM11304
