greetings! about to take the plunge into my '13 mazda 2 build and figured i'd consult u guys on some parts
not much of a gearhead so i need ur expert opinion
considering these:
exhaust wise-the apex N1 muffler which confuses me bc its universal but the price range on the 2 sites I found is a major difference
the spec D Apexi N1 on carid is $30 bucks
http://www.carid.com/spec-d-exhaust-systems/spec-d-universal-muffler-10984851.html
but if u go to the apexi website it is upwards of $250 depending on if its the turbo version (which i also dont understand, whats the difference?)
http://www.apexi-usa.com/store/exhaust/n1-muffler-universal-turbo-94mm.html
http://www.apexi-usa.com/store/exhaust/n1-evolution-r-muffler-universal-na-2-5.html
also figured i'd replace the cat since im replacing the muffler, recommendations on those?
suspension wise i want to go with some H&R spring or corksport springs
I also am seeing good things on the corksport strut and shock set, recommendations on the suspension?
may be a dumb question but the strut and shock set doesnt require the springs correct? can i use my stock springs with them?
keep in mind im planning on getting some 17in wheels not too sure about offset yet
also i was considering some spacers, does anyone have info on the ones found on this corksport build?
http://www.corksport.com/getting-down-with-the-mazda-2.html
last i was going to get the corksport short ram intake and a K&N air filter for some power
ultimately im just trying to achieve a more exciting everyday drive experience, tighter turns and some more HP and a lower grumble sound
also im doing this on my lousy budget as I am a student, reason such low cost parts
looking forward to any comments or recommendations
