Ok guys, i know this has been posted many times. But i need honest info on this before christmas time.

On my christmas list are
Budget Y pipe
Addco rear sway bar
Random tech cat.
Unorthodox pulleys

I can only get 3 of the items. im going definitely with the Y pipe and sway bar , but i dont know about the cat or the pulleys. Which one will produce better power gains, and a better seat of the pants power feel? So far , in terms of power , i have a place racing cai, and a greddy cat back. My car is Automagic , and has 72,000 miles on it , if that effects decisions or hp gains or what not.

Thanks
Andrew

 

neither, both the pullies and random cat add very Very MINIMAL gains if any at all, the pullies would be better than a random cat but i would just replace the budget ypipe with a cattman ss and that would cost about the same.

 

But both pipes have the same power gains. What would be the point of replacing the budget pipe with a more expensive pipe? Do you (or anyone) have any other ideas for power gains ? Im in desperate need for power, but my parents wont get me Nitrous because my mom doesnt know what it is, and my dad is old school and thinks that nitrous is unsafe and all that stuff and will ruin my engine because he doesnt really know how it works. But i really want power , because i got my but kicked by my friends monte carlo ss last night and i want revenge. i didnt lose by much , and i had a bad launch, and my tranny must have been in slow mode for some reason , becasue it was shifting really slow and soft. need 5 speed

 

y pipe

 

Thats already on my list , and its definitely being bought , thanks for the feedback , anything else ? I know you have juice, but i have to wait till spring.

 

thats the best bang right now.. and you should save that money and not waste it on the UDP

 

But they are christmas gifts ... its not like im spending it, and i wouldnt be saving it realy , since its not mine. Maybe just get something for show/sound ? But i really want the power.

 

you are looking for power.. don't look UDP.. especially on an AUTO.. for 150 i would get a muffler from Shadow or an RT Cat..

 

I have a Greddy cat back , so no muffler. will the RT cat help a lot , or just blah ?

 

it will be just blah.. your better off getting your muffler guy to build you a straight through pipe for $40 .. i have an excuse to get them to build it for you if you want it

save the $150 and buy something else non-car related.. don't buy an RT Cat or UDP.. sorry for that lame suggestion

i am sure someone will chip in with other stuff i left out.. or i will keep editing..

 

what about just getting some porterfield R4, or axxis brake pads to boost my stopping power, will they help with just stock rotors ? I dont like how my max brakes fade after driving hard.

 

if you don't have white wheels then go for it.. or some SS lines would be cool too..

Thanks, should i get the super brake fluid too ?

 

i would do the fluid only if you are doing the whole brake upgrade.. pads, rotors, ss lines.. i think phuong has a deal for $540 on that..

 

ok , so i wont do the fluid for now , will the axxis pads help stopping/brake fade with just stock rotors though ?

 

Yes.

 

Great, Thanks. I was out racing around with my friends for like 3 hours friday night. And at the end of the night , i had to stand on the brake to get my big b!tch to stop. Next time ill have to kick my gf out of the car to save the extra 115-120 lbs.

 

Sprint , what is the excuse to get one made ? ive thoguht about it , and i want one , as long as it will give power or sound increase , im all for it ...
