    Intake improvement question.

    Good Point, since I DIY, I just assume others do. My bad. Also consider a tune, more HP/TQ to be had from that as well.

    Intake improvement question.

    Yes. I would go with exhaust after that, then mess with the intake parts. Drop in K&N, then a Plenum/TB combo. Alot of people feel that unless you're going with forced induction or some P&P heads and an aggresive cam, you won't see much benefit from intake components. I'm not saying you...

    Intake improvement question.

    Dollar for dollar here is what I think. CAI (crap), TB/Plenum (3-6 HP), Spacer(crap). Cost 400 - 600 (depending on brand Total HP/TQ gained not very much Cams and springs (25 - 35 HP) Cost 600 bucks I may not be dead on with these numbers but I think most people will agree that if your...

    Spring Isolators. Leave in or out?

    I used energy suspension graphite impregnated Polyurethane isolators when I dropped my car. They are a tad bit thinner then the stockers so it ads a bit of an extra drop but still keeps a decent ride, doesn't create any extra unwanted noise such as creeks, squeeks, thunks, clunks, dings and...

    Need earplugs! Wheel bearings?

    Couple of comments. 1) If you have an 02, I seriously doubt is the hub, but if it is, it should still be covered under warenty. 2) If you decide to DIY, don't forget you need a 200+ lb. torque wrench. I had to buy one (110 bucks) when I changed mine (98 gt) 3) Is it the front or rear...

    help header question

    Yes, they'll work. I believe the exhaust ports are the same on the non-pi and pi heads. Only the intake ports are different.

    Magnaflow Catted X-pipe question....

    Negative. I believe the nut you need is a 10 mm 1.25 thread pitch. I have the magnaflow X and that's what I had to use. It might be an 8mm, can't quite remember, but the pitch IS 1.25. Pretty much any hardware store has them.

    Seafoam and SMOG

    I thought about the higher octane, but my car pings with with anything other then 91. I guess I'll put just enough to go and take the test. I also hear about the alcohol in the tank. I'll try that as long as it won't hurt anything. It won't hurt anything right?

    Seafoam and SMOG

    The TB and plenum are only about a year old, so I doubt that's the issue. The X-pipe is catted, so I guess I'm just screwed. I was hoping there was a trick or two that I could do that would help me pass smog. My numbers are not that off, so small things might just do the trick. My entire...

    Seafoam and SMOG

    I tried to search but the stupid banner is in the way and I can't do select anything. I just failed smog, barely, and need some tips on getting her to pass. I heard that seafoam may help, what is it, how do I use it and where can I get it? I changed my plugs about 2 or 3 months ago...
