i know ur thinkin "then hit the search button" but honostly, ive done that for like 3 months and havent really gotten to many good answers.. so help if u can.

Go to RacingBeat.com and look around. That will give you prices as well as ideas.

 

Exhaust, carb and ignition, in that order.

 

Sdj Ftw

 

sdj ftw???? wat??

i look at rb everynight. haha.. i just dont know wat else i can do... heres the list i can up with


1. full rb exhaust
2. custom made free-flow air intake (basicly just cutting up the stock one. haha)
3. 2nd gen ignitor puls 2gdfis
4. upgraded carb when i can afford it.
5. stock fan out, elect. in.. maybe 14in
6. thought about removing A\C. mine doenst really get that cold anyways.
7. rats nest out
8. suspension stuff (thats gonna be a while)

and thats about all i can think of..

 

SDJ is a company that makes the best header period, FTW is for the win.

 

yea, but hes on a budget and an adj header is like 500 so i dont see that happening, im not going to get in an argument over which is better, but the rb is prolly better for his application

 

SDJ headers are great, and I've never heard a bad thing about them, but they are very expensive, or so I've heard. For the price, a RB header is pretty much the best bang for the buck, but if your going for all out performance, go with SDJ.

 

good point

 

I thought FTW was F..k the world, lol.

SDJ is THE best header. Buying that header and self fabricating the rest of the exhaust system should put him in a similiar price range as the full RB package, and perform better.

Budget wise for carb, you can't beat a Sterling, period.

 

SDJ, 2.25in pipes, into a borla xr-1 into a fart car=pleasing to the ears on the cheap

 

That works for me drifter. Good choice of components.

 

just keep browsing the parts for sale until good stuff comes up. theres ALWAYS a performance bolt-on there.

 

Pretty much my old set up I just had a RB header and Dual in the back. The SDJ sounds so much better though

 

That's basically what my road car has, come over and we'll go for a ride and you can check it out for yourself.

Steve

 

startin to sound like an online predator steve.... haha.
but ya...
wats something good to do with my stock nikki? go sterling?

 

I went Mikuni and love it, I have heard great things about Sterling carbs.

 

Couldn't of said it better. 1+ for SDJ really nice guy to talk to and will do anything you want with the, ... collected ... dual out .. o2 bung ... what ever size collector ..

 

for those wondering here is a pic of both headers.

 

alot less welds on the rb

 

And your point is
