Thread: what for mods should be done first?

Yeah.

Suggestion: research.

Well then, you should know that straight pipes do nothing then, right?

And that colder temp thermostats do nothing unless you've got a tune.

you need to read it again, 3.4-3.5 puller with no exhaust mods (like blue said straight pipes do nothing) is going to make your engine go ,
at least get tune done..

Get ready for your car to sound like ass.

Trans and suspension would be the first thing to do. Power is pointless if you can't put it to the ground.

Not to mention these trannys don't have differential fluid.

In this case, first mod..... Driver...

Research, research, research...

180* t stat - Have to have a tune or your motor will actually cool less efficiently

straight pipe/s - Unless you straight pipe from the manifold back, but it will sound like Honda mating with a donkey...

3.5-4 pulley - Not without supporting mods

intake - Won't have any real gains other then you'll hear the blower whine more, unless you do a fenderwell intake

How much money do you have to spend??? $50, $200, $1,000.... What do you want to accomplish? For the price of a downpipe (new) you can put a little more money with it and get full blown headers. That's mod 2.

I did a 3" downpipe and a PCM first. Makes a quick improvement pretty cheap. Unless you plan to go to headers soon, then do that and don't waste money on a downpipe for the manifolds. Don't do a pulley with out doing some supporting mods first.
