well why dotn you finish your exhaust system and get a high flow cat and cat back piping? that header really isnt doing much if you are using you stock cat converter.

Just because I ran across this thread today Ill share it with you. Its a list of mods under $150 bucks. They might not make your car faster but its well worth it IMO!

How bout a B16 or Type R tranny. LS trannies are t3H gH3y

BTW, it will make a HUGE difference, trust me. Its by far a better bang for the buck mod than any i/h/e on an LS

i had a tanabe exhaust on my integra. let me tell you, it was MEAN. greddy should be similar. just make sure that if you get an exhaust, please dont forget about the cat. leaving the stock one on will really bottleneck your exhaust system.

12-15lbs of boost to the ls motor. they can handle a lot of boost. it will increase you hp a lot after the basic fuel rail, injectors, etc. upgrades.

Myfrined owns an LS wth pretty much the same setup you have except he has just finished his exhaust - apex, put in aem cam gears, an s-afc, and a new stage 2 clutchmaster cltuch (i would recomend something like the three puck mugen clutch w/ toda flywheel - not sure if it'll fit the ls trany? ). Then of course TUNE TUNE TUNE... you just spent some nice cash on your vehicle make sure the cam gears and s-afc are finely tuned, adjuste them yourself or have a profesional do it for you. My friend has not dynoed his car (street tuned only as of now) but he is starting to creep on my GSR . I think im going to have to make some upgrades of my own
