what to get next for $200

Well i have 200 dollars to spend now and i am not sure what to get next. I just got pypes violators last week. Now i am between an o/r h pipe or steeda u/d pullies or the summit racing ones(i think they are pretty much the same). The violators are the only mod i have so far. Does anyone else have a suggestion. a tuner would be nice for a little more $ but gas is so high and i drive almost 100 miles hwy everyday to work. Does anyone else have a suggestion. I know gears are around 150 but installation i am not sure about. Anyways, opinions are appreciated.

how about a K&N aircharger? No tune needed and it helps throttle response and exhaust note

My suggestion would be to bank that $200 until you have enough for a CAI/tuner/tune combo. That will give you the most gains as well as most seat of your pants feel. A cai and tuner/tune doesn't necessarily mean worse gas mileage. Some have gotten better mpg with it.

Check this group buy out over on MF. I know this this the performance thread but it's a great deal if you every wanted a Gentex mirror.

well If you are happy with your exhaust then I would save that money and put it to a tuner/cai combo, you will need 500-600ish for this.

however if you want a little more sound then I would go ahead and get the or/h and get your exhaust done, then save for the cai/tuner.

If you drive 100 mi. per day to work, spend it on gas.
$200 is only enough for 2 weeks if you ever drive anywhere else.
Think about it.

I would go with what ever will help your mpg. Wait for the cash for the cai and tuner would be my guess. look for slightly used stuff and save a few bucks

great advice.

the cai/tune will also get rid of most of the throttle lag.

imho, it is the most logical next step.. besides, depending on what you have planned, you will need the tuner for many of the future mods.
