yeah the cai cosmo intake is a good addition. made it sound nice when i step on it. regarding about the exhaust. its hard to find a good one. they tend to be a bit pricey. im looking into a different one cuz the one i had was too loud in the cabin for me and my passengers when i'd drive on the freeway for a while. read supersprint, hartge is the way to go but damn its pricey. think ill do the software for the engine first. or new wheels.
as for the susupension. i have m-tech, since i have a sports ti edition. it handles nicely around corners and its stiff enough for me. but i think i need new shocks since the car is 10 years old with no tunning or upgrade on it. might look into it later. | | | | | 10-17-2007, 08:18 PM | #21 | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: New York Posts: 26 |

I actually have a JC chip and its great but you said your car is a 96 so you cant get a chip. chips as mentioned are only for 92-95 cars. you have to do a remap and that cost anywhere from $700-$900. you can get a tranny chip now that im not sure where to get from because i dont have an auto... __________________ Live Everyday As If Its Your Last

thats a rediculous amount of money tho | | | | | 10-17-2007, 11:12 PM | #26 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: G-dale, California Posts: 1,698 |
ya but if you really want performance then thats the only solution. but then again these cars dont have that much performance to begin with unless you DASC it or you do an engine swap. just get yourself a nice intake, some clean exterior mods, a good sound system and IMO thats all you should spend money on. __________________ Live Everyday As If Its Your Last
