Keep stock muffler, they are dyno proven to flow well.

My mistake, i thought you had SI.

Far as bolt ons.
They won't make dramatic changes to your car anyways.
Turbo or K series swap, thats my recommandation.

Work on suspension first,Stock suspension sucks.

k&n fipk2 is probably the best intake for our cars (i have one and think it rocks) headers are a complete waste of money, and most people like the greddy evo 2, i personally want the rsr ex mag

edit: Seriously though, don't expect much gains, maybe 5-10whp

Don't waste any damn money on the D17 engine as far as performance goes, unless it's a turbo. We all here know that it's a complete waste of time. Go with suspension and then looks or stereo or both. I think this is the first car where I just gave up.

Hey man I have the, tanabe super racing medallion. I love it, I also have a top speed racing header and a megan racing downpipe. People can say what they want each time I put a piece on I have felt more of a power gain. It wasnt a whole lot mind you! But there was some. I love the exhaust I put on mine and will probably never change it. I think most people think the power is gone because the parts usually give you more top end and you lose some low end, but that can be with any car. Also I have an aem short ram intake, I like it but I think the k&n fipkII was dynoed w/ more power though. Your choice man, also here is a linky to the exhause clip section where you can hear the exhausts.

i have a k&n fipk2, i love it. the sound.. and in cooler weather, once you hit 5000k, you can feel it pull pretty hard.. and i also have a greddy evo 2, very nice sound.. lose the cat and it's loud. check the "other parts" forum, there's a sound clip of my car on there.
