Whats up?..I was lookin to get the AGP Wastegate..Do you think thats a good first mod?. I have some extra money and was lookin to spend $150 to $200. Other mod that comes to mind is the K&N cold air intake but i think I would get more out of it with the wastegate..Let me know what you think..Thanks

 

If you can scrape up another $150 or so, go with the Mopar/Borla exhaust, and at first, a K&N air filter.....later you can do the CAI. More air in and out will give you the most bang for your bucks....[sm=smiley16.gif][sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Dusty is right. Intake and exaust are almost always the best "first mods" with any vehicle. You may not get great HP gains, or be able to even feel a difference from just one or both of these mods but you will run more efficiently. You will also be building a base for other mods which will need these to reach their full potential.

Another good first mod is a short throw shifter and booger bushings for about $120.

Good luck.

 

Well I guess I could try and scrap up another 150..I check to price of the Mopar-Borla Exhaust and its like 350ish with shipping.You would get that before a stage 1?.Just askin since its the about the same price.(also its an off subject but is it cheaper if you have an 04 since you dont need the injectors?) ...

 

i think i read somewhere that a stg 1 on the 04' is almost ptless...

 

depending on who you talk to - you will get different answers for the stage 1 question. I do not have stage 1 on my car. I thought about it, then figured if I was going to do anything - go big or go home... so... IF I do any stage upgrades it's stage 2 or nothing.

I would go for the blow-off valve and short-throw first (since that's what I did ). Your car is fast enough for now out of the box until you "get used" to it... then go for the exhaust. The short-throw and blow-off won't really make your car faster, but it adds to the cool factor of driving it... and a short-throw is always a solid investment I think...

or just put lot's of stickers on the car and weird multi-colored graphics... should add a couple hundred HP...

 

1st you should get an oil catch can (OCC). You can get it and all the stuff to install it for around $20, this will keep your engine clean and keep it from burning oil. Second should be a set of MSD Super Conductor plug wires which you can get for $40. You can get aa front strut tower brace for $40 as well. The Mopar Performance BOV is $70. These are the very first thing that I would do. Then, Modern Performance has the K&N Typhoon CAI for $199.99 with free shipping. Next I would go for the Mopar Performance STS with booger bushings for $120. After that I would get the Mopar Performance/Borla exhaust $350. Lastly I would get the DC rear strut tower brace $87 and the Mopar Performance Stage 2 with toys upgrade $1,350.

 

The 04's use the fuel injectors from the original Stage 1 package. So if you order the Stage 1 for an 04, you get the new PCM, but no injectors. The difference between the stock PCM and the Stage 1 is quite noticeable, both in performance and sound especially if you have the Mopar/Borla exhaust and the Mopr BOV...[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Modern Performance had the cheapest price I could find for the Stage 1...I got the Mopar/Borla exhaust off of Ebay.....[&:]

 

yep sure is...
