b-pipe/resonator. and evidently cattman is offering a limited run of prototype headers for the VG if you have that car.

try next >>> CAI. and UDP. then go Fidanza and Exedy stg.1 street.

no prob.

cai - cold air intake (cattman or place racing makes a great one).
udp- underdrive pulley (lightweight crank pulley, liberates a little extra hp at crank - unorthodox has a popular one)
fidanza- is a lightweight flywheel. liberates some hp by making engine get up to speed easier. similar f/x as udp.
exedy stage one organic street clutch -great general purpose streetable clutch that grips around 30-50% better than stock, yet is not so harsh that it will destroy your tranny bearings (like the ACT may).

after all of that, try N20. but upgrade brakes before that.
also drop and tune the suspension big time with FSTB, front/rear antisway bars, struts/springs. enhances overall look/presence of car; saves energy for going fast around turns and hard corners, car is more fun to drive as well.

have fun.

snowman,

who's car? mine? if mine, then it is great. i have y-pipe, b-pipe, cat, magnaflow muffler. it makes a big difference. especially the y-pipe. if i were to pick only one, i would go y-pipe instead of cat. but that is me.

remember, the farther away from the crank the mod is, the less difference it makes.
