Left Our Eyes

I know a lot of people have mentioned stuff about intakes being pointless or hurting power. I dont want to do too much to the car as to lose my warrenty. How well do you think exhaust, intake header, then a reflash would be?

Before you start getting flamed for not doing a search, I'll leave this nice and short:

exhaust, drop-in filter, reflash, and call it a day

No need for an intake header

About what hp would I be at with the that, and what do most dealerships thing of a drop-in? I know every dealer is different, but you know most dont care about simple stuff like exhaust.

I'd do a downpipe, highflow cat or "test pipe" and a cat-back exhaust. The three are known as turbo back exhaust when combined. Throw in a drop-in panel filter, a manual boost controller and a reflash to keep it simple and removable come service time.

but wouldn't a reflash be another thing that would most likely throw that warranty out the window?

shoulndnt......just relfash it back if they b!tch. or search around for a MOD friendly dealer. im just lucky my dealer is into Modded cars and wont f@#K w/ you UNLESS YOU really screwd up.

The dealer wouldn't have any reason to look at your ecu unless you bring it to them with some major problems. Plus, with 03-04 models they can't tell if it's been flashed or not. I have heard that they can tell w/ 05's though, but again, they wouldn't check the ecu if they didn't have a reason to.

honestly, if you want a nice improvement over stock without compromising daily driveability and emissions etc. go for either a turbo-back with a decent high-flow cat and a conservative reflash such as the Works one (personally, i wouldn't even bother with a drop-in filter, especially if it's an oiled variety that might foul the maf sensor.).....or, you could even stick with the stock cat, do a 2.5" downpipe and a 3" catback and a re-flash (this is Buschur's approach for his "BR" series sold through Medina Mitsubishi......no test-pipe, no HFC).
