Need advice on mods

I'm thinking of spending around $500 on mods and here are the choices I'm considering:

1.) Y-pipe + RSB

2.) AGX KYB + lowering springs (don't know yet)

3.) CAI + RSB

Which is the best one? Any other suggetion will be appreciated.

I'd definately go with y-pipe and intake. After doing some mods to mine, I wish I would've done mods that enhanced each other at the same time so I would notice a BIG difference instead of subtle changes. Definately Try to do the intake and the y-pipe at the same time and then take it out for a test drive.
The 2nd set of mods, you can do suspension and get a FSTB and a RSB together and then take it out for a test drive.

if you want your car to look a hell of a lot better (not like a toyota tacoma pickup), go with #2. If you want performance, go with #1.

Re: Need advice on mods

I would say #3 b/c you are increasing HP and handling.

With a CAI and Y you are significantly increasing hp even more, but handling is still stock.


Besides, the Y can be added later, and you'll aprreciate the difference when it happens.

So, #3 and then #4, Y pipe and FSTB later.

my vote is anything with RSB - makes changing lanes easier and cornering safer/easier, it's definately a mod that makes a difference you can feel

maybe get RSB and y-pipe now, then CAI and FSTB later?
