hey guys i just wanted to run by my ideas that i will hopefully have done by the summer if all goes well. just wanted to get your opinions. as the car sits right now i have a aem cai, and just a dynomax super turbo muffler(good sound). as for my future plans id like to do a few things this summer, nothin crazy. as long as nothing breaks(knock on wood) i should be able to do most of these.
doin the suspension for sure- tanabe grip springs 1.5 1.2 drop.
shocks - ??? dunno yet
motor - aem cai obviously
4-2-1 header with 2.5 collector(not sure on brand yet)
high flow cat and a custom 2.5 in exhaust prolly to another super turbo muffler <---i like the sound the produce, its not annoyin like some others.
ITR cams with adj cam gears
i was suggested a FPR
and vafc for tuning.
if i cant do everything i think i would want to do the exhuast and wait on the cams etc... what do u guys think, sound good to you? in case it gets asked, i plan on doin na with just boltons until im out of school.

I would say get the JDM DC 4-1 rather than a 4-2-1. Make the cat a Carsound. Don't set yourself on the AEM intake as it's not a very cost effective mod (most intakes are virtually the same). I'd upgrade to a Skunk2 Intake manifold and just run a cheap intake. I like the idea of tackling the suspension. Oh yeah and as for tuning: Hondata > VAFC

on a 4-1 wouldnt i lose low end becuase of the bigger pipe? i was suggested a hondata as well, im still researchin on them. the aem will prolly stay for a while just becuase i just got it in the fall. but if/when i upgrade the im yeah it will be gone
On a good 4-1 header, you will not lose any low to midrange power. You might not gain quite as much as you would with a 4-2-1, but your top end will scream.
Check out the header test that TitanMotorsports did.
