You can remove the resonator on the stock intake. It wont make for much power but itll sound awesome.

Removing the resonator (on intake tube, its a box) will actually remove your low end power.

Nitrous is pretty much the best bang for the buck, and a wet shot is no better or worse than forced induction if not overdone.

I wouldn't do it, but dollar for dollar you pretty much can't beat it.

Haven't seen any cam gears for the tC yet, but that would be cool to see. Anyone have pics?

Intake - I'd wait for the Injen intake. You can thank AEM for the delay.
Muffler - I'd get the Injen set-up, or wait for the Magnaflow system.
Strut bars - Not really necessary, but there are a few choices.
shocks - TEIN just relased their coilovers. very, very nice.
cam gears - Didn't know any were available.

The precisionmuffler.com set-ups use a magnaflow set-up so that would be the best way to go. Check them out here: www.precisionmuffler.com :D

You could also pour Rocket Fuel in your gas tank. It won't make your engine last longer, and something will probably explode, but hey. It's cheap performance, while it lasts, right? :eyebrow:
