Stage 1 will make you smile as well as the Mopar/Borla exhaust for about the same price.
I'd stay away from boost control, there are some other postings on this subject that show slower times for those that had it vs. stock SRT-4s. Welcome to DF!!!!![sm=smiley20.gif]

Either the Mopar exuast or Stage 1, nice thing is that you can enjoy either one separatley, then add the other later.

Which is most important to you, what specific performance are you wanting out of your SRT-4 most?

Handling/Grip
Top Speed
Acceleration/Quickness
Sound
Appearance
or does it not matter and your simply looking for the most mods you can buy with $400?

If your simply looking for the most mods for your money regardless of any one area, then this should be a decent list of the least expensive mods that I can think of:
$20 oil catch can
$40 MPx front strut tower brace
$120 Mopar short throw shifter w/booger bushings
$40 MSD Super Conductor plug wires
$70 Mopar blow off valve
$84 DC rear strut tower brace
and money left over.[sm=smiley2.gif]

Just be careful how much boost you're lookin' for. You dont wanna burn a whole in ya piston from fuel starvation. Shi&! you'll eat up many civics, even mod one's, with just what you have! Believe me. I've killed a few Euro Spec cars out here. and all i had, was an Intake
Peace

Dead stock you can eat up 5.slows and Civics. If you ever plan on getting Stage 2 w/toys or 3 then buying a boost controller would be a complete waste of money since it comes equipped with one already. If your simply looking for more power, then get the Stage 1 computer, it will give you better gains than a boost controller. Plus, if you get the Stage 1 cheap enough you can also afford the Mopar BOV.[sm=smiley2.gif]
