thinking the basics ( as im broke ) but thinking vararam intake, magnaflow muffler and pcmforless tune ( as its 250 vs nelsen 500 for the 04 ) each one averages 250 so i can do them over the next few months just which to to first 2nd 3rd etc etc.

 

Save to $250 and build your air intake for 2/3 less money. along with hand porting your TB. But then again I am do-your-self kinda guy. If you need a website to where you can buy the items here it is .....http://shop.airflowonline.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv

Then get a tune, just so you are aware that pcmforless charges $50 per update.

third get your exhaust done.
I am just like you in sence of no money. but score a flowmaster muffer and 5" diesel tip for free. The air intake I did for about $60 with just gutting the air box and cutting holes in the front.

Fouth get tranny flush(with some amsoil torque drive allison spec fluid) and put in Bully dog allison shift improver ($100).

hope that helps

 

I guess I could build my own intake, on the exauhst I was thinking large case magna flow ( keep it somewhat quite )

yeah I know its 50 bucks per upgrade but that gives me 5 upgrades before it equals the cost of the nelsen tune. and I cant see me doing 5 real upgrades that needs retuning. the only thing else i wanna do is a turbo down the the line so when the truck gets that ill need a tune then but there wont be anything between free breathing 8.1 and FI 8.1

 

Hey Hammer I looked at those airfilters on there and the max i think was 620 cfm, doesnt seem like very much.

 

custom tune, intake, then exhaust.

 

Thats where to buy the ducting, for your intake. The 4" rubber fittings, clamps, thin wall alum piping, stuff to make your own air intake pipe. If doing yourself might have to trim fan shroud a little for slower bend of a 90*. Use a K-N or whatever high-flow filer you want in the stock air box. DO THIS only if you what to, and can. Or best bet would be to try a vararam air intake, with ram air.

 

I built an intake out of plumber tubing, its really easy.

 

exhaust it to me thats the first mod, plus it make you feel proud to have a powerful sounding car!!

 

If it were me, exhaust, drop-in filter, and then the tune.

 

8100hammer has the right idea.
