where have i seen this list before? ahem..TI!

ditch the 4-2-1 header if you're installing more aggressive cams. and since you want your powerband in the mid-high, the 4-2-1 will start choking your B18C1.

get a quality 4-1 s/s header.

Plan to upgrade the valvetrain also. Also look at raising your compression a bit, maybe a thinner headgasket or getting the head milled etc... Hes right about the 4-2-1, a nice JDM 4-1 or Dc 4-1 will really open up the high end, also maybe a bigger custom exhuast say 2.5 instead of the 2.36.

you really don't need 2.5 if you only have stage 1 cams in. 2.36 is already more than enough for a stock motor.

Ditch the DC sports tie bar, get a better header for high-end power, and get some good tires too.

tie bars dont do much for subframe rigidity really so he's safe with that POS product.

but if you plan on installing a larger rear sway bar, then you might want to look at the comptech rear sway/tie-bar combo...like me and Epoch have! :thumbup:
