Just bought my EM2

[king.0c]

Hello everybody, This is my first post here on the site and im looking for some advice before i go ahead and start working. I just got my em2 a couple months ago and im ready to work on it a bit to make it quicker. What I am asking is what i should start doing right away? I wanted to do headers and cat-back by the end of October. Which brands are good? Custom or Generic brand? Should i do the exhaust first or should i be doing something else. I really want to start working on this car. Im not really into looks as much as i am into the engine. I put rims on right away cause it had to look a bit decent. Thanks guys for looking at the forum and bring any suggestions please! (ill post some pics soon)

welcome to the site.

The D17 will not respond well to bolt ons like other cars will.

Basically a full exhaust and intake will not net you more then a few whp at best. often times a loss of power is actually experienced.

I would suggest to first put a drop on it. these cars look so much better dropped.

As far as adding real power, Kpro is a very valuable tool and by itself can net some gains. But to make big power you need nitrous, turbo or K swap. As shitty as it is, thats reality.

If you want to keep the D17 get the crower stage 2 kit and turbo it.
