The One piece of advice i can give is this.... USE SEARCH FUNCTION as much as possible to find any answers you may have. if then afterwards you have additional questions we will be glad to assist. As far as Mods, they have all been talked about and can be found in the search. Search is in that skinny black section towards the top. it's right in the middle. Follow this arrow up....... ^

thats a nice way of putting
at least you didnt bash the guy like some others would
K&N intake and flowmaster exhause is what i have and recommend. probably magnaflow has better performance but i like the flowmasters sound better. i think jba headers are good but thats because they are the only company that makes them for the v6 lol

I built (about a year ago) a intake out of pvc...It was cheap to make, and has worked just fine for me, if you are budget conscious.

In theory, headers increase mpg. The reality is that they will sound so good, and give you so much pep, that you'll be mashing the skinny pedal at every light!

Welcome to the forum buddy. When you get a chance, post up some pics. What kind of headers are you thinking? Shorty, long tube, mids?
