Hey all! Just got a new GT and was wondering what you all think I should put in it. Intake? Or should I go with exhaust? Anything else that would be good to get?

 

Get spending limits on your credit card. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]

 

For performance - the intake. It's a bigger restriction on the motor than the exhaust.

For looks and sound - then the exhaust, if the stock exhaust isn't already enough for you.

On that note, from my experience, I'd go with an off road H-pipe before replacing the muffs. You can get away with that in FL since there's no e-checks.

Just my opinions.

 

1. SCT/XCAL II and JLT II CAI with Doug's tunes: www.bamachips.com

2. FRPP exhaust M-5230-5GT a.k.a Borla Stingers

Go ahead and do them both at the same time.

 

intake makes the exhaust sound different

 

Mufflers don't add any power...if you're going to do an exhaust, get at least a mid-pipe, if not longtubes.

 

If I had to do it over again, I'd still buy what I've got, but gotten them in a different order.

(1) Intake/bamachips sct tune

(2) Slp loudmouths (or whatever exhaust you like best)

(3) Rims/tires. 18's look perfect on this car and 285's in the back make it look oh so good!

If your stuck in a smog regulated area like California and want to keep your car legal, you'll have to probably skip changing cats, headers, X or H pipe, and any power adder, including N2O (I think).

 

My first mod, car not home a day was flowmasters. nuff said.

Next was JLT CAI and tune......and as was said above, your credit card limit.

The XCAL is a tuner, basically a small hand-held computer that reprograms the computer in your car to increase performance. The JLT CAI is a Cold Air Intake (hence the CAI). It basically helps your car breathe better which also increases performance.
