I am a complete newbie at all of this so I am looking for advice on everything for my 05 TC. The main idea is I am looking to make my engine look show quality and I am going for a polished chrome with blue look. Performance is important but I dont necesarily need to have the best, but I want it to look ridiculous. I have been shopping around and I am trying to get some decent deals and these are some of the items and different options.

Exhaust
Initially was looking at a greddy Ti-C Catback for $376 but have somebody local I can get a Greddy DTM axle back for $160....ideas?

Intake
I want chrome piping, initially they have me down for an injen cold air I am thinking around $250 or so but I can get a polished Fujita for $185 or an AEM for $225.

Headers
I like the Megan headers for the look and the price is reasonable...I have seen this for around $200 shipped.

They are gonna do a polished air diversion panel and all the tubing in blue for me. Engine damper, greddy struts bars, agency power crank pulley, eibach springs, and a couple little things like billet battery cover and oil catch tank.

I know this might be a little vague but I am real new to this and dont want to get worked over. All you veterans if you can give me some advice that would be great.

 

who is they?

 

my opinion..
- dont get axle-back.. its lame
- i would get injen..
- u shud for sure get HID's!!
good luck

 

I have to agree with tCkid on the axle back and intake. For the exhaust go with someone like Dezod, megan, or agency power IMO. Look forward to seeing how this turns out.

 

sounds alot like a motor like this.

 

That is exactly what I want! WHats he got in there?

 

BIG J! LOL SHOW OFF HA HA THATS CAR IS BAD ___! LOL I have a turbo and i still think that motor looks better than mine in a way! lol

Update

Okay guys...everybody has been a real help. Here is what I am close to doing...let me know what everyone thinks. I am going to re-do the whole car to make it show quality (or at least try) but I thought I would get the bigger things out of the way first.

Exhaust
Greddy SP2...I like the quietness of it compared to others and I am getting it for $330.

Headers
DC sports ceramic header for $285

Intake
Injen polished for $240

What do you guys think about this...performance, sound, price...etc. Any feedback would be helpful.

 

cant wait to see how it all turns out.. im parting out my TC so i have a few mods up for sale. PM me if your interested.

 

GREDDY SP2!!!!! hell yes!!
thats the exhaust im getting!

 

Just picked up my SP2...looks really nice.

Getting my Injen intake Monday and the DC Header will be in next week.

I will update this. Keep any advice on the previous topics. this site has been a major help and $$$ saver!

 

DC Header is really tinny sounding. I had that at one time.

 

that looks kinda ghetto. Who did that to that poor car?

 

LOL....That is the look I am going for....guess I am ghetto.

 

Okay guys...heres an update.

I picked up my Greddy SP2 ($330) and Injen intake ($225) last week. I decided to go with the Hotchkis springs ($190) and the DC Headers ($270) should be here by Monday.

I still have a lot more mods to purchase (engine and hood dampers, diversion panel, front and back strut, pulley, Grillcraft mesh grills for upper and lower, and all the hose kits and engine dressings) and I am gonna wait til I have everything before I have it put together.

Questions, comments, hopefully some advice?

 

Yeah...kinda looks trashy...damn NO LIMITZ guys...

I really hate the dash in that car.
