Hey guys! So I'm planning my next mod let me know if you think I'm headed in the right direction or should go with something else.

Current mods

Magnaflow Catback and x-pipe
Livernois tune (93)
3bat map sensor
Livernois thermostat
And windstorm CAI (from livernois)

Next?
I'm thinking to go with down pipes next, and a meth kit. I want performance obviously but I really want to hear my turbos more and it seems the down pipes should really put all my mods together and give me more turbo noise!

Thoughts?

Downpipes would be a great add on to that list. Definitely adds to the turbo sound (I've unfortunately only read of this).

Keep in mind getting that power to the ground. Maybe summer tires, coilovers or springs, adjustable sway bar links.

There is an intercooler available from Zero2Sixty Motorsports now. No #'s, but looks like it should be quite effective.

Yea I can't wait for the down pipes, I'm thinking about going with those h&r springs. Do you think the intercooler is needed?

SHOnUup

I've heard guys liking the H & R springs. But the guys that went from H&R to the coilovers, say the coilovers are way better.

For real big power I can see the IC being more helpful, in my mind spraying meth helps those temps a ton. But I'm no expert and there has to be more to it.

We're waiting on some tests and numbers back from Zero2Sixty. Will probably dive into that whole area at that time. Big learning curve with these cars.

Yes I'll deffinitly  stay up to date with zero2sixty's work with the intercooler and I'll keep looking into the suspension work so I definitely know what to go with after the down pipes and meth.
