i already have wheels and tires. i dont have suspension and i just dont really care for brakes right now. what i really am lookin for is a feel for more power from my car any suggestions. or should i just get the stuff we all said

exhaust adds very little ~5-10 real world hp at best, intakes dont add any power. I would save up and spend my money on a NICE chip/upgraded turbo kit.

What engine do you have?

 

[thadman 10+ year member]

If I were you, I'd first buy a chip for the teg (assuming it has a turbo, otherwise dont bother), then some nice SSR comp 17-18s, then exhaust, then an upgraded turbo kit (a nice kit, dont halfass it)

lol, ya if u wanna fry ur engine...u cant just slap nitrous in without hte proper upgrades first...anyways id say go turbo, if u dont wanna do that then go with an ECU upgrade...u find a good 1 and that will be WELL WORTH UR MONEY...

Do all the breating mods first, full exhaust and intake. Then think about heads cam and all those goodies. Cause the heads, cam, and turbo stuff isn't gonna perform near as well without upgraded intake exhaust.

Did the GSR even come N/A?

Grab a tunable ECU.

The guys on page 1 were right...Either do your suspension or do the headers intake and exhaust...

If you do the exhaust portion, upgraded plugs and wires too. And try to get a catback exhaust that isnt retardedly LOUD! It should run you about 11-1200.

While this is true, that you wont see any major increase in HP before you turbo esp if you just want a chip, but you will need exhaust and intake in order to maximize hp gains or even not break you turbo. B/c I guarantee that 2 in exhaust wont be adequate.
