What are you trying to accomplish? Nice ride quality? Lowered for looks? Good handling? Road racing? Drag racing? It depends on what ya wanna do with the car.

For a 5th Gen... y-pipe and any intake, since all intakes are marginally different.

Btw, if ya don't want people giving you a hard time here, please search around before posting questions... the suspension and exhaust/intake topic has been discussed a lot and there are plenty of old threads out there with the info you need. It might help to read ALL the Stickies too.... have fun.

This is what i heard from a mechanic he told me that the manual 5spd tranny oil doesnt have to be changed its forever and that when it leaks then you have to change i dont know if thats correct have no clue..

for shocks and struts i would love to have less bumpeage semi sport if there is i wanr a bir of comfort and handleing is possible..

for intake and exhaust i want more power to be added less noise on exhaust and gas sufficiant let me know your results thanks for all your help.

Did you read what was in the links I posted? Doesn't seem like it...

Change your tranny oil.... MT-90 is the way to go...

You want "less bumpeage semi sport" huh? I assume by "sport" you mean better handling. The only time you're gonna get a more sporty ride is by making it at least a little bit more bumpy.... there are springs that are close to stock ride quality, but it won't be as cushy. And if you're complaining about the stock ride being bumpy, then I'm not sure how you can fix that. Go to the link I posted... that contains all the info you need.

For intake and exhaust.... Berk, Frankencar, JWT, Stillen, and Place Racing are some good intakes... Cattman, Budget, Warpspeed, and Stillen make y-pipes (most value in terms of gains).... Cattman, Frankencar, Mossy, GReddy, OBX, and others make cat-backs...

And once again...
