Default Help...

Hey guys, I'm looking into getting some parts for my car and need a little help...

First: I'm looking to do the JLT True Ram Air Intake with an intake spacer, any ideas where to get the spacer from and what size to get? Also, I can't tell if my intake is stock now or not; does anyone have a pic of stock intake so maybe I can tell...I don't wanna spend the money if its aftermarket now, I do know that I have a K&N filter, but not sure if it's just a drop in filter.

Second: I have Mac Off Road H-Pipe and Mac Cat Back Exhaust and I wanna put headers on the car...do I need to replace the H-Pipe with something different or are there headers that I can get for this setup (without raising engine to replace)?

Third: Is it worth changing the Throttle Body? If so, what brand, size, etc.?

Thanks for any and all help! Also, if anyone has any other suggestions, please make em'!

Contact RoyC on here he sell intake spacer with all connecting equipment for $100 (3/8" is what you want)

depends on the headers you want to put on

throttle body won't do a whole lot, just make the throttle a little more responsive

Yes they are called shorties. Those will be the ones you need since you still have cats. If you want Long Tubes you must replace the midpipe.

if you want headers just go Long tubes and yes you will have to change the mid-pipe. royc is the guy to talk to about intake spacer from what i hear. TB is fine dont mess with it not worth the money.

with headers if you are still running the stockers, with an H-Pipe and catback you are going to need to get shorty headers to hook up to that midpipe. if you want LT's you will need to get a shorty midpipe for that.

LT's = shorty midpipe
Shorty headers = the same midpipe you have now.
