Rep Power: 0 why dont u buy an exhaust first... then headers... then the VAFC... because apexi is working on the vtec controller...

Rep Power: 0 supposedly the exhaust does about jack for our cars. ive looked at graphs for torque and hp and has barely any increase. and if imspending 500 bucks id like to have some kinda increase. so id ratehr by an afc or something efffective

Rep Power: 367 I know. exhaust does nothing.
hence I only want to get an axel back for looks and possibly some sound in the higher rpm ranges...
but then again there aren't any good price ones...
I may eventually buy a cat-back cuz there aren't any good price rear section/axel back (or at least, the ones I want)...
but thats when I have 400-500 to burn.
and when I have 400-500 to burn, then I'd probably be driving something better.
when you really think about it, these things cost SOOO much money. sheesh. if you work $7 an hour part time..yikes!

get a magnaflow catback, theres a group buy going on right now. granted it doesnt produce serious gains, but your engine runs more effeciently and the car as a whole sounds way better. definately wait on the vafc.

Rep Power: 0 The best thing you can put on your car for that price is a good set of tires. You won't go faster in a straight line, but good tires is the biggest single thing you can do for handling in that price range.
