Default I need a little help and some advice...



i travel for 9 months out of the year for work and store my 07 tc while i'm gone and i'll FINALLY be home in a month or so. in my profile i have listed under my power mods the things i want to do on the tc. the rest of the stuff i have done buuutt i'm curious and wanted some opinions and advice on what to buy and who has some pros/cons on the things i want.

i was going to put on a dme header, an agency power ss/ti catback exhaust and an intake for now. I like the wasy the agency power exhaust sounds but havent really done much research on any other brands to see how they sound and what they're performance is. as for the intake.. i'm kind of clueless. they all do the same things so i dont know if i should go with weapon r, injen, fugati, or whoever..

someone give me some advice and help me out a bit pleeaseee

Well thats a broad question.

Id say, Intake, Exhaust, Drop. No matter what. Header, hold off on because your car will sound raspy. As for the exhaust, go on youtube and listen to some exhaust clips of the variety of mufflers made for the tC. You'll find what you want.

Injen is one of the best, if not the best intake for our cars right now. I woudnt bother with aheader, it doesnt really help too much with our cars, intake/exhaust is fine. I have an Injen SES exhaust and I like it alot, nothing too serious like a PTuning exhaust, but has that low rumble which I like. Go with an Injen intake, and whatever exhaust you like.

im planning on dropping it but again i dont really know a good spring or coil over set to do..

ive always heard good things about injen so maybe i'll check them out and i went on youtube and listened to a few a while back and the one that stood out to me was the agency power just because its got a low rumble to it. i'm not a fan of raspy cracky exhausts. i love the sound of ptunings but its quite a bit i believe and its a little too loud.

thanks for the help guys.

mind me asking how much you paid for your injen exhaust?

injen exhaust should be like what..$300-$400? Im not quite sure. Go to your local shop and see how much one would cost, youre in NJ so theres bound to be a bunch of tuner shops lol. If it sounds absurd then it is, dont go more than $400, or check out the classifieds here for awesome deals. Ive seen used exhausts go for $150. And youtube is not a good indicator of what the sound is like, in person it is much better of course, but digi cams cant seem to capture the true sound of exhausts.
