Best Upgrade to start with ?
I already of a CAI (whoopie *eyes roll*)
But as my first mod, should I go for:
-Intake Manifold
-Headers
-Catback
Which do I start with.
Any help is appreciated.
In the end. I want aftermarket gear with a S/C and
since NGM comes w/ the manifold needed, I think I'd stay
away from putting one and do it w/ the S/C
I don't want to S/C til after I get married (go ahead ... try to
buy a car part with a wedding forthcoming and not have tha G/F find out, lol)

Agreed...Get the injen one from r100s
Common "tech tree" for modding a Tib is CAI -> Exhaust -> Headers -> S/C with stuff such as underdrive pulley, clutch and flywheel and other smaller things in between. If not forced induction, substitute S/C for an intake manifold and cams.
intake, headers, exhaust, fuel tuner and tune it till u can get the SC then re tune
I say after Intake you go with Headers.... stay in order, I/H/E. At least that's a general blueprint for basic import tuning.
Unless you own a 240sx... then it's Engine swap, then I/H/E, haha.

or just exhaust and a bigger turbo...
i agree.. the first 2 mods to all the cars that were worth doing them to was intake then exhaust.r100s said:Just follow the most common step..... which would be the exhaust....

Catback. If you do headers first, you're just bottlenecking the emmissions flow into the narrow stock exhaust.
I would do headers before exhaust. Only for the sound reasons though. Sometimes I hate how loud my exhaust is, and headers would keep it quieter that much longer.
The headers and exhaust and CAI with a tuner were the very first thing I did , then Clutch and flywheel......then motor and trans. Try hiding 13k in motor and trans mods by NGM from your wife "after "getting married. :3_marrysm
If you have a manual tranny, I would add an STS to the list. It might not add horsepower, but it makes a big difference in shifting.
SSA has a good catback exhaust for relatively cheap, but good quality. I've had mine for 3 years and not one single issue. $300 is easily explained to the woman, and the sound is really agressive. I have ZERO complaints.
I can't agree more with that.Trevor said:SSA has a good catback exhaust for relatively cheap, but good quality. I've had mine for 3 years and not one single issue. $300 is easily explained to the woman, and the sound is really agressive. I have ZERO complaints.
The SSA headers catback combo is the best (HP > Money) deal around especialy if you get maried you'll need good deals like that.
But you could also buy a new clutch/ LW Flywheel setup, it's something you will need anyway if you go S/C in the near future.
Yeah , the B&M STS is the best outfit going as far as a complete assy ,( that's what I got in mine) and peach it made a big difference , but if I remember right BassTib has a killer deal on a really nice set he makes. You wuold have to ask him to verify that tho
when I started out I went intake, cat-back , headers... I really think that the headers made the biggest difference. I love my hotshots! But then again I didint have a dyno to prove it back then... id say flip a coin!
Catback before headers, because headers+stock exhaust= bottleneck
Exhaust FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dont ever run an IM without a fuelk tuner or aftermarket exhaust, your engine will be sad. Other than that yeah basic upgrade path is there for a reason, it works, is safe, and provides nice gains. You could always spray it though!
hmm do a stage 4 install. did that today and yeah u can feel the diffrence. now i just got to tune soon
