Default HP upgrade

Ok so when i got my 07 tc about a month ago i was pretty impressed by the power, but now that i drive it a lot i am kinda getting used to the zippy-ness and i wanted to get the HP up as far as possible without having to go boost. I still want to get the hotchkis sway bars and dc sports tower bar just as basic suspension upgrades, but my main focus is on the power. I was looking at the dc sports header, the magnaflow cat-back exhaust, and then a good intake. I do drive an 07 and i realize that a lot of the 06 parts dont fit on the 07's so if you guys could give me any recomendations for a powerful header, exhaust, intake, and any other easy power-boosters, that would be GREAT!!!

thanx

well, your basic mods will be i/h/e and some aftermarket pulleys. if you really want power you might as well go boost as with i/h/e you won't gain very much anyway.

Injen finally has an intake out.

You may want to jump on the GB bandwagon before the buy closes. You'll eventually get used to the (minimal) increase of power with the aforementioned mods and you'll want to go FI; just a warning.

just a warner that a header elimanates your cat, making it no emissions freindly. and extremly loud.

I'm not a fan of dc headers, one they are over priced, 2 they are mig welded, three they look like crap. I like polished stainless. I have the megan header and it looks great and comes with a great price tag.

you can get them locally from 9secondracing cheaping than a used one on ebay. I only paid 180 for mine.
