first mod
What's up y'all, i just got my new oz lancer like two days ago, yellow with special oz black and yello leather! I am wondering if i would feel/hear any difference if i decided to go with the rrm high flow cat pipe as my first mod or if i will only notice it when i do the exhaust and the intake later?

i dunno man....the cat is pretty restrictive but you have nothing else freeing up the flow. I'd say either go with an intake first....then do the exhaust section....header/midpipe/test pipe/muffler. that's just what i would do. i have the injen intake and custom exhaust. stock cat and stock headers. when i buy headers im just going to replace the rest of the stock exhaust system.

I know it's a lotta money to dump at once and tb isn't totally necessary, but it's kidna good idea to get the tb and intake at the same time if you're lazy (like me) so you only have to do the install once. If you're not lazy, the tb can wait indefinitely.

We have not tried to swap, but we did try to hone out the intake manifold and the throttle body and we lost our *** on power. The car just can't take that much air. We tried everything to make the intake manifold work (even an AFR), but nothing worked. We did port and machine the head a bit and strengthened the rods to hold the higher compression. That worked quite well. Our car moves pretty well. We are working on an ECU right now (the ECU will have boost parameters for turbos!)Anyway, Thats all for now.

Disagree with RMR on that. Guys with T.B. all say they noticed improved performance. Manifold has long runners for more bottom end power. The intake ports are big and clean for(relative) stock stuff.

silverr6, you cant run fast if you cant breathe. the factory intake box is pretty restrictive and it sits right next to the hot engine. you want to take that air from outside the engine bay. firsth thing you want is a cold air intake. preferably ceramic cos its better insulated than steel. figure that if every 10degrees colder the air is you get about 1whp. and by taking the air from the road you will have colder air, and more of it. this is fairly inexpensive. you can find no-name ones for around 150-200, but i would say go with someone you know you can trust, AEM or injen. they are the best.
now that you are done with breathing in, you gotta breathe out, expand your exhaust pipes...not too much, you're only running a hundred hp engine. go with something that will flow nice like 2-2 1/4" piping, and get a free flowing exhaust. there are many with different sounds and different tips...the smaller the tip the smaller the sound (usually). dont go with the test pipe, just go with a cat-back system. also part of the exhaust is your header, a little more expensive, but easy as hell...anyone can replace a header...
once your done with the easy stuff go onto something expensive...wait till the warrantee is up though for anything major...*cough* turbo *cough*
