Not sure what to do next!
Ok, so i am getting to the bottom of the lsit for performance bolt on mods. Things i am debating about buying are: MGW shifter, Borla Cat-back exhaust, TB+Plenum and Aluminum driveshaft. Also, I am planning on putting a KB on in the next 6months-year. That's making me lean away from the TB+Plenum. What would you all get? I have an ALuminum Flywheel waiting to go in too.

RE: Not sure what to do next!
I was going to go with a offroad x-pipe but might move back to NY and they are crazy about having the right stuff, and i don't know anyone to help me out up there. And i have only lived her ein VA a short while so i stick to the books with that. Do they make off-road cat back systems?

probably the cat-back then. Do you live in a state that does emissions? if not I would go with the O/R stuff

OH will it!? I was thinkig about that too but wasn't sure if it would go well with the KB. Will i need to retune after installing cams? and do i need to retune after exhaust?

RE: Not sure what to do next!
The cat back is a good investment for now. No retune needed. Follow that up with cams and a tune. If you can swing it, P&P heads would be great. Once you get the KB on and tuned, you'll be golden. The only thing I wonder is if you'll need the smaller pulley to keep boost up on P&P heads. Anyone know that answer?

In your case, you should buy P&P heads and have them installed. You can buy patriot stage II's for $1,300 on ebay with everything except cams and covers.
Other companies with heads are VT Engines and Livornis.

I would get the O/R X-pipe. Does NY do emissions? SC doesnt! (thank god) Honestly though does anybody think a cop (these days) is going to get down on all fours and look to see if you have cats or not? Most cops are gearheads anyway. All you have to do is talk to some people, find out who is the man to go to for the hookup. I know in SC back when they did emissions, you could go to Joe Blow and pay him the $3 it was and he would slap a sticker on there. Get the X-pipe, you wont be sorry!
