Steeda Tri-Ax can't stand it
I love my triax with MGW handle and CobraBob's gaskets. I would have got the MGW shifter if it had been available, but the triax is fine.

GREAT THREAD, should be a sticky.

hood

I regret purchasing a "Niche Performance Hood"

Fitment ended up being very bad!

I highly suggest avoiding their hoods. They're typically seen on Ebay, seems to be the only place Niche Performance can actually sell their hoods.

Thanks for posting everyone, this is a great thread! The only mod I regret is installing my Pro 5.0 shifter. The handle keeps coming loose. No matter what I do, I have to keep going in and retightening the handle. I'm afraid that one day it's going to strip and then I'll be shifting with a vice grip until I can get the shifter rethreaded.

I went with JDM for all the rest of my mods and I couldn't be happier. It was expensive, but you get what you pay for. I like a freeflowing, but quiet exhaust. The cops don't need to hear me coming! The Magnaflow with catted H is perfect for me, and the long tubes sound great. The tune is good, and I'm not worried about blowing my car up at the track. If I lowered my car then I would be afraid of tearing the exhaust up on a speed bump or uneven pavement. It does hang pretty low.

I'm pondering my next mod right now. I'm torn between cams (stock blower) or a Whipple. Everyone seems to like the JDM cams. I know that the Whipple will make more power than swapping cams will, but I like it when I open the hood and people can't see the mods. Plus, the cams will give me some lope that the blower won't!

Amazon CAI. Yanked it after a month.
Any reason in particular? Mine has worked great, though I plan on switching to a Powershot filter and maybe adding a JLT pipe.

Biggest regret is the strut tower brace: now I can't use the JLT because it won't fit with the strut tower brace.

Fluidyne heat exchanger: would rather have one that fills the whole opening

Brisk spark plugs: no problems with mine, but everyone elses experience scared the shiznit out of me so I took them out quick

Other than that I am happy with it all.

I don't like the Steeda 100mm idler. Too hard to get off if you ever need to remove it. Other than that, everything else is good.

I am worried about future mods, however. I am looking at porting the Eaton and a TB but I have heard lots of negatives on these. Any opinions?

Go with the Cams and the Whipple. Thats what I plan on doing. Already went with Whipple (AWESOME), waiting to do cams next.
