Parts Opinions?

ok, i know i should read the reviews sections, but id rather hear it from yall, the guys that i (sorta) know. im lookin into a few parts, but want to know about compatability/performance:

-Injen CAI
-Blitz Nur-Spec cat-back (will it bolt onto my Invidia DP? how does it sound?)
-Blitz turbo timer II (worth the money?)

yeah, i think thats it rite now, its alot of money, and i want to spend it correctly. help would be appreciated. thanks guys (and scattered girls...i see you LOL)

injen CAI--im not sure if it's necessary-i wouldn't get one, but that's up to you..maybe a K & N drop in filter....

and for the Nur Spec im not sure if it will fit...how many inch is the piping on the Indivia?(maybe it could fit, i don't know)....and for the sound it's really loud, but SEXY rumble loud...but they do come with the silencer(i think), so it shouldn't be a problem....i have one and i like it the way it tucks in right underneath the bumper and how it doesn't stick out as much as other exhaust do....and tip part is straight, not some of the exhaust i've seen where it's kinda angled(i hope you know what i mean by this)...but some people with the blitz have the problem with smoke on their bumper(do a search on this one)...some just wax it off, like me or you could get the metal exhaust shield...it's only a minor problem...

turbo timer- go for it....

i hope this helps( i hate typing long hahahaah)

No need for a turbo timer...read the forums on this subject.

I agree with Blake no need for a TT. I don't know of any DP and catbacks that don't match unless you have either a JDM exhaust or JDM DP..You'll be fine. Get some shifter bushings instead of the TT if you don't already have them. You can get a combo short shifter and bushings from www.kartboy.com

You should try working on the suspension of your car since you're at stage 2 already. Look into front and rear sway bars, end links, coilovers or springs, etc..... Just my 2 cents!

I just ordered my steering rack bushings, can't wait to get them installed! Can't go wrong with a $20 upgrade.

What Jared said, also look into better braking items such as: hoses, pads, and fluid since you're going to need to stop.

I would advise that the Nur Spec "catback" is known to stain your rear bumper.

The axleback does not however.

ok good thoughts, much appreciated. so i shall drop the CAI and TT, and modify the nur spec cat back to avoid bumper damage. then i will invest in the suspension stuff. i already have the shifter bushings, but i will need help with install. i have the SS already in. got the RSR a while back. any other thoughts are much welcome at this point. im about to have a LARGE amount of spendin money for the car and i want to do it right. thanks yall.

injen cai is okay, don't get it if you plan on going wiht a front mount later, blitz nurspec, dont get it, too loud, get a hks carbon ti or something, blitz tt, get it if your very impatient, if not, then just sit in your car to let it cool down. besides that, everything should bolt on, good day

full coilover supsension is also good, it totally changes how the car looks and feels with a drop, and you can control it up or down, and make it stiffer or what not.
