AEM intake is loud for louds sake. That's is an attention getter I see no need for. It's like running ALtezzas to me.

He asked for the most effective mods. 2.5" collector is a must but a DC JDM won't keep up with a Toda header. It will cost you but it will make your exspense worth the while.[/quote:777943eaa9]

You know...I sat here and thought about it...and thought about it....and thought about it and you're right about the intake thing...so...I just emailed a fellow ITRCA.com member who has a comptech icebox for sale, and I'm going to try to buy it off of him....damn you....I don't have money for this, lol.

And about the header...I know a DC won't keep up with a Toda....that's a given...my comment said that "The lowest I would go with is a DC JDM header" which means that is the cheapest one I would buy...if he wants a cheap header with good results, that's the one. If he wants to spend the extra dough, then yeah, toda or a custom.

 

BTW, one thing I wanna add....and this struck a chord with me...you said that the AEM is an attention getter....you are right...I get looks all the time at 8k....I'm a pretty low key guy and I like to stay under the radar...it's especially hard with an ITR...so why make it even harder? This is probably a good decision.

Thanks Trey. =)

Dont most cars get looks at 8k no matter what intake they have? I remember winding my 88 Prelude 2.0S out to 8k and it was stock, everyone looked at me when i did it too.

 

I dont like CAIs but if i could do it all over again:
i=J's racing
h=JDM DC header w/ SMSP cat
e= T1R full cat back

my current setup:
i=Injen SRI
h=JDM DC w/ SMSP
e=5zigen

 

I believe its mostly all personal preference. If you got the $$$ and bling bling to ya.

if not, stick with what you can afford.

HP gains is so over rated these days.

does 1 or 2 more matter? can you honestly feel the extra 1-2 HP gain? I doubt it.

Research and see what is best for you and your budget.

despite all types of upgrades, tuning is the key. that is your true HP gain right there.

 

how come no one recommened Mugen twin loop exhaust? i heard they are really quiet. does anyone know where i can hear a sample audio with a Twin loop on an R?

Also does anyone have unorthodox racing pullies on there R? i heard they're the best handsdown? Also do u have to take the engine out to install them?

 

is the hytech catback system good to invest in if you plan on going with a turbo setup?

 

Call up John...he makes a turbo application.
