i/h/e.

intake, header, exhaust.

-Buy a cheap intake pipe off of ebay, and just get a K&N filter instead of the junk that comes with the pipe.
-Buy a used header for cheap. (pacesetter, greddy, dc sports)
-Buy a cheap exhaust off of ebay, or a used one.

The reason i suggest cheap, and or used parts is because for what little gains these parts produce, you should spend as little money as possible. There's nothing worse than paying 800 dollars for an exhasut that frees up 3-5 h/p, when a cheapo from ebay frees up the same amouny but for a fraction of the price. Be smart;)

Also, you posted this in the wrong section, so keep an eye out for that next time.

That guy is selling a few parts for cheap. Now's the time for you to start modding!

Neither. You'd be paying for the name. A pipe is a pipe, so buy one off of ebay, and get a good filter for example K&N. Same gains for 1/4 the price equalls a smart mod in my book. :thumbsup:

That's fine, but he said for the lowest cost. I had those mods done to my old rs and i barely noticed a difference also. Then i bought a gs-t. A whole new world.

Ha, there really isn't one. After you get everything together, and running, something else will break. It's part of going turbo.
