Performance parts, What to get next?

[lfriedman]

Ok, here is the deal. I have a bran new Xenon body kit in the box. But this past weekend I was saying to myself, “Self, so do you really want to put this body kit on, get it painted, mount it on the freaking car, or buy some more performance parts?” Well, I’m not sure what I want to do. I have a short ram Intake, muffler, strut bars, coilovers with great springs, and 18’s wrap in 215-35 tires. What other performance parts should I get? I’m a think more engine upgrade. I’m looking at getting Ceramic Header, Hi Flow Catalytic Converter / Catback system, new Cam Sprocket, Hi Performance 10.3mm Spark Plug Wires, Crank Pulley, Fuel Pressure Regulator. Out of These upgrades, which one would make a big difference? Or tell me what kind of upgrades you think are worth a crap. I can only up grade if I sell my body kit, so if you know anybody that might want it, drop me a line. Please help a lost soul… Thanks…

I would say cat-back system or a header. Just remember to plan ahead at what you may or may not want to do in the future. i.e FI or N/A. Alot of mods out there help you now but later down the road they may not be so beneficial. Some stuff will require tuning other stuff will be difficult to install on your own which means high instalation prices. BTW that kit is one of the nicer ones available. You my frined have a lot to think about. Just remember take your time before you do something you may or may not regret.

if you don't want to go forced induction, then go with the cat-back, get a cam for some more top end. that'll get you some more power. a nitrous kit will give you a nice boost but you can't use it all the time, like a turbo.

make sure you know what you want out of the car first....then work from there. but i would say do a header and cat back first, then a cam.

stock honda headers arent really that restrictive and only a minimum gain is noticed 2-5hp. I would go with the exhaust and the cam for power. The cam gears,pluiies all help 1-3hp depending on the specific car. All thopse lil hp's do add up im not saying they dont but go for the big stuff first then work ur way down. thats just my two sense!! ;)

i say you sell your kit...save your self some money cause i'm pretty sure if your dumped on 18's already, its lookin clean. dont rice it out.... do the motor mods you were talkin about
