Okay I've got a stock 1j tt
I haven't touched it... yet
I have in my possession a profec B spec 2 boost controller, ultimate and harness and HKS twins.
I'm hoarding all the bits so I can do one big install.

So here's my question
What would you get now if this were your own project?
Exhaust and intercooler are obvious ones, but which ones? Then after that what next?

go custom exhaust, any exhaust place will fabricate one for you.

Blow off valve?
Off the shelf cooler from repco or autobarn?
LSD diff? Shift kit?

Once you have all this, take it to Cihan to get it tuned.

U might wanna look into a transcooler if your going auto.

cool cool thanks fellas.
David how much would you expect a custom exhaust to cost?
Is there anything else you can do to make your ride sweeter apart from whats listed above?
Nos lol nah too expensive too unpredictable.

Would you guys leave it at that and move on to trim and ICE

Expect to pay around $500 for a cat back exhaust and $1000+ for a full system. There are a few guys selling an exhaust in the for sale thread. Have a look.

I bought my cat back second hand $300, spend around $500 for dump to cat.

If you can, get it done all at once and get it done right, dont waste your time doing bits and pieces here and there :-)

Yes, I have left it at that Michael. My ICE is just headunit and 6" rear speakers.

A few gauges here and there also.

I tried to sell my cat back awhile ago, no one was keen.
As long as its 3 inch mandrel, and has the least mufflers possible it will perform well.

I see people using systems with 3-5 mufflers and cats, and its shocking, then they only get 190rwkw on the dyno and wonder why.
