    LOL! I'm sure that's true actually. I'll probably just do the cai for now though, then see where to go from there. Next mod would involve either u bend delete or zzp downpipe after that.

    Depends on what type of mufflers you choose could be as little as $50-$100 for each muffler then whatever a ship will charge to cut and weld the new ones on. Your best bet is to call around..prices are going to differ between areas. Find a mom and pop shop they should be cheaper.

    Bolt ons with these cars generally help the engine run better.

    I noticed a difference when I ditched my double 90* bend stock intake for a ebay HAI. The box won't make a difference with the salt as if air can get in so can salt.

    A downpipe is superior to the u bend delete as it adds a larger diameter in addition to not having the bend.

    read it, then decide on headers, intake, tune, and a 3.5 supercharger pulley.
    You'll be happy with the performance

    FWIW i recommend headers over down pipes, just because they arnt hardly more expensive and are much more effective at reducing KR
