what if you dedicated $2,000
So its just a random thought to see what route people would go. Keep in mind try to stay N/A, already have coldair, midpipe, tune(93/E85) and only looking for power mods. Which brand+mod would you go with to maximize performance at the same time getting the most out of your money. budget is $2,000 Go!

Not really much else you could do in terms of power and keeping it N/A. Complete the exhaust, JDL header, frontpipe, overpipe.
I know you said you only want power mods, but in terms of bang for buck, tires or LCA could help you accelerate faster and be under that budget.

tires would be the best in my opinion. but if you really just want power for 2k pretty much your best bet is finishing your exhaust. borla header and nameless catback is my fav setup at the moment; nice boxer rumble.
sorry that kinda just repeats what the person above me just said haha if you want performance not power, strut bars! front and back. |

i should have been more detailed..i have some suspension, tire, rim, and appereance mods that im going to keep seperate from the money im willing to spend on power mods. Right now i was thinking complete exhaust, headers, pulleys. Just wondering what brands/mod would people consider given the oppurtunity. Right now im thinking works resonated exhale ab $349... perrins overpipe 305 if it fits the midpipe(ill check on that when i get a chance..either p&l or rev works header...but im sure ill have money left over for me

You'll have money left over for sure. Take a look at a FA20 intake, that should give you just enough for a Unichip or a Visconti tune if you can find someone who already has a cable. THAT will give you a lot of HP for $2000. You basically can't get even close to 200 whp without a good tune.

I wanted pulleys at first but now I'm hesitant because many people have had dealers tell them not to do that if they want to keep warranty. Maybe a catless front pipe to go with your overpipe? I got a catted Invidia one.

If it was me, I would go this route. Your already half way to the Vortech kit or FBM turbo kit. Otherwise, headers for sure and a re-tune.
