You're overestimating the price on a lot of stuff here. $300 for an FMU is way too much. I've got one that I was thinking of selling for $90. Vacuum lines will be $10 at most, $50 is overkill. The list goes on...

Don't buy SS AutoChrome if you want a good product that will last. Do a search and you'll see why...

whats wrong with that manifold? i read that 304 stainless steel is one of the best materials. are you suggesting a larger turbo becuase i wont get any traction when it spools at a lower RPM? i also read that if you are running under 300hp 2.5" piping is fine and i dont want a really loud muffler but thanks for your comment, it just gives me other options to think about.

remember the prices are in canadian dollars and tax and shipping is all calculated in to this. i have ever estimated a little bit on purpose because i wanted to see at most how much everything would cost. ill look up ssautchrome in the search. thanks bud

if you rip off your cat, your muffler isnt going to do ****. or do you mean a cat bypass pipe?
