Where to buy parts?

[ryan.lecompte13]

I am new to this but i really want to start moding my MP5. Were would you recomend that I look for parts?

Also i am wondering what would you suggest that I start with? I was thinking short ram intake or exhaust.

Thanks!

I usually just find the part # that I want from the part manufacturer's website and look for it on google. Good idea to some research on the site you plan to buy from to make sure they have a decent history. Believe it or not amazon and ebay have a lot of performance parts for decent prices.

Thanks! so what would you recommend that i do first?

A good first mod is the ebay intake w/ K&N filter.

Don't trust the cheap filter that one comes with, buy a K&N cone filter from their website (3 inch inlet). Very easy to install too.

Depends on if you're going for power or just making it a bit more fun to drive auto 2.0 makes about 60-65 whp manuals make 100-110 whp. So if you're going for both start collecting for a manual swap

So is a manual swap reasonable? or should i look for a new MP5 thats already manual?
