Is ripp modifications worth the money? when i had the strat i was really looking into this. Its a lil over 2gs for a stage 1 and it said something like 345bwhp i believe for the automatic. It also had headers for 1100$$ i felt this was way to much considering i found some for 600.

I've heard some say yes some say no. I've also heard that they have a bad hbit of not returning calls.

ripp advertises 345.8HP Eclipse GT Manuel transmission

they spelled that wrong, not me.

but anyway, that costs 3849.95, however, they go on to say that you have to also buy their headers to safely run the blower...the headers run you 1199.95, and while i think that price is RIDICULOUS, they do advertise 32.1 whp, 44bhp. however, i have read quite a few complaints about how the welds crack, and for that kind of money, they should last damn near forever..lol

so, over 5 grand....and guys with this setup are running in the low 14s (mtx)...guys with a bottle, computer, headers, and cat delete are running just as fast, for a fraction of the cost.

do u have full exhaust on ur strat? i've never heard one with exhaust but ppl say there pretty loud. at the shop we had a sebring lxi with no muffler and it sounded pretty good.

nah...just catback right now...i have a muffler, so to speak, but it really is loud..my muffler is actually a header muffler off of my other car...i might think about some headers and such soon, but my car is actually quieter if i remove my exhaust...believe it or not...
