6000k hids are the only way to go, that blue crap looks stupd and around here will get you pulled over all too easily. as far as intakes, look up the companys and the dyno charts, everyone has there own opinions on em

yea i have 6000's on my bike and they're just pure crystal white, no blue at all except when they warm up. i also ran 6000s in my fogs until one broke, but yea they were perfect.

for intake im not a big fan of chrome at all because i feel like that will heat up and defeats the whole purpose of "cold air intake"

no tbs on a hemi. they do nothing for performance... you can make a cai out of pvc pipe. if you buy one make sure it gets rid of the "hemi hat" lots of the ebay ones dont. i would go with a level kit, you dont need shocks with a level, thats just with the torsion bar front ends (02-05). and dont get a flowmaster, they flow almost as bad as the stock muffler. get a magnaflow, cherrybomb extreme, or aero turbine 3030
happy b day!

I have 8000k in my headlights and 6000k in the fogs. I like both equally.

Agreed.

I looked at a flowmaster muffler cut in half and in one part of the muffler it actually has to loop back through again!

Nothing but restrictive crap welded in those things.

My friends family owns an exhaust company and he was telling me about how flowmasters are basically bought and made specifically for the sound and he went on about how they were made so it sounds like you have a cam when you don't. (Hence the ballast in the muffler where the exhaust has to loop back around.)

I looked at a cherry bomb and it was almost a straight pipe on the inside with some fiberglass in the sides (With some drilled holes over the hole.)

When i get my headers i'm going to go with either my friends brand or magnaflow.


Btw to the OP You might be able to get a performance chip off of e-bay or craigslist for 200.
