there are SOME parts that won't work for auto but lots of aftermarket parts work if you find the right ones and tweak em a little...first thing you need to do is make or get a oscai...it's easy for auto

basic bolt ons like intake, y-pipe, echaust will all work for autos. Even an SC will, contrary to what Stillen might say.

SC is the only thing that won't work... and it will work if you do some custom plumbing. Oh I guess the quaffie limited slip diff is another. Otherwise if you get too much power... lookout for blowing your tranny.

Don't waste money on plugs...stick with the OEM ones you have. In fact, ignition mods aren't really worth it since we have direct ignition. As for which manufacturer is better, I would compare prices and make your own judgement. Check the sticky threads at the top of the forum for a more comprehensive list of aftermarket suppliers.

I've been looking at pictures... I believe the SC will work if you make a CAI instead of using the piping.

A lighter flywheel will not work on autos... a torque converter will not work on manuals.
