get em both

cn555ic · 05-23-2009, 06:18 PM

definitely both, plus a tune and then after you take a ride you might shoot a load on yourself! lol

downpipes, cheaper than a catback right now if u jump in on the VK groupbuy too..

roozie2001 · 05-23-2009, 06:55 PM

personal order i would go in. Tune, DPs, FMIC, Meth, then exhaust and CAI.

golfinz · 05-23-2009, 07:34 PM

Neither...get the jb3, fmic, dv, dp, and then I would look at exhaust. I wouldnt bother with an intake other than the scoops with a better filter

sabredog · 05-23-2009, 11:54 PM

how much power is in the jb3 on say map 5? how much power in a ur cai or catted down pipe?

horse power wise, procede or jb3, down pipe, fmic, exhaust, intake. if you get a tune, dv is recommended since boost jump up to 14~17lb...

I'd say JB3 first then downpipes.
