or i was looking at a borla exhaust with the Weapon R secret intake i found a borla exhaust for around 700 the weapon r intake i found at http://www.eracingzone.com/ProductDe...3-101&CartID=2
the borla exhaust i found at summit racing...

basicly what im trying to is to make sure that all them gay *** eclipses are going to see my tail lights fade away i would love to see a 30% increase in hp so wht you guys think please let me know im baffled on what would be my best bet thank yous ohh yea and what are your views on headders i talked to a tech and he said he would waste his money on headders since the way they are made to day you would not see much of an increase

 

so you want to get all of that with onlyl $1200? What do you plan on tuning with? Do you have kpro?

 

read a little of what you wrote, got a headache. read that parts list, got a bigger headache.

keep saving and get a real turbo kit. or sell your base and buy something not slow.

 

y ai ended up scratchin that turbo idea gonna go with dc headers injen cai apexi catback...after thinking it over a 700$ turbo cant be worth it was really stoned when i was searching and was all like wow i can get a turbo for less then 14 lol

but thanks guys i like the idea that here some one actually responds and the faster car idea yes but ima wait till next years taxes and trading in for 05 rsx-s 1 year from now ill only owe a grand on the base

you guys have to take in consideration i got a wife and 2 kids the fact that she is letting me put 1200 into my car amazes me so i need to make sure i get the best bang for my buck

 

I hear you on the wife thing buddy. lol
