Since i JUST got my SLP LM1's i was thinking of getting BBK Cold Air Intake, and when income tax comes in, get a new midpipe.

is cold air best thing to get next?

 

CAI wont do anything but waste your money. Id go with gears/ tuner, or long tubes/ midpipe. Dont waste your money on those little stupid mods.

 

What he said

 

ouch, k..

 

Comon on now....they look good at least and you get a little HP from them!

 

Your best mod for the intake is pull the intake silencer off the stock airbox. Its the rubber part that is on the plastic airbox and goes into the fender. It just pulls right off. Take that off and get a K&N drop in filter from ebay used will cost you almost nothing and just get a cleaning kit for them and do that. Intakes add very little as the stock setup isnt that bad.

 

+1
4.10's FTW!

 

lol, lets say i wont be doing much mods to my car anyway...would CAI be an ok mod or is there something else UNDER 200 that would benefit my car better...

i got my Exhaust for christmas, and i got an extra 200 right now...prolly wont be getting another mod til income tax (midpipe) and prolly wont be getting many mods often, maybe every few months...

 

Cant save your money? Already addicted huh?

 

lol, well its hard to save... not making too much money ATM, and a girlfriend, and gas is like 3.15 a gallon ((gt kinda guzzles it down like beer))

so wanted to try to find a good mod for under 200...lol

 

Save the cash till you can do the gears. You'll love it.

 

Get a K&N or JLT....don't waste your time with BBK

 

Buy the gears...just wait on the install

 

ya...think imma just save for SLP catted O/R Xpipe and buy a handheld tuner...with the free tune, get it tuned for my SLP1's and Xpipe, then start saving for gears/install and then get a new tune after that...(over the coarse of a year )


sounds like a good plan to aim for?

 

Lower control arms from MM are $250 and though they won't give you more power, you'll be able to put more to the road and be able to handle better. Also, have you though about upgrading the little things like your clutch quadrant? How about the shifter (if it's manual)? Intake elbows are around $100 if you want to go that way. Otherwise, I'm w/ everyone else and just save your cash for better stuff.

 

my above post basically is what everyone else said (Xpipe, Gears and a tune)

and nope, cars an automatic.

 

Cars are like "CRACK" one bolt on and your hooked. Next thing you know youre at the blood bank selling blood to get underdrive pulleys. Knocking over 711's to get a turbo. GOTTA LOVE IT!!! Get some gears.

 

You can still do a shifter. I had a auto and put a B&M hammer shifter in it. Way cool shifter.

 

so would u prefer shiftkit over the 3 mods i listed? lol, i dont plan on doing Tuner+Xpipe+gears and install within next month...im thinking over a few months...

but cant wait

 

No, I was just saying you can get a cool shifter for an auto. Its not a shift kit, its a shifter.http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...45773_-1_10517

 

I know what you mean man...started a year and a half ago...with a CAI....8 grand later...HERE I AM!!!

 

BBK blows!!! Dont buy anything BBK! CAI is ok, just buy one thats reputable and actually does add performance gains (maybe 5rwhp). C&L and JLT are the only ones I trust.

 

hmmm...their LT headers have been known to be quite good.

 

Pretty sure the BBK CAI is the one with the 90* bend right before the MAF, no?

 

I believe Densecharger is the one that has that.

 

Yes, BBK's is like that.

 

save for some gears. is my 2 cents.
