so since the cobb sri is on like a million year backorder.. i figured to waste my money on something else while i wait :)

what oes everyone think i should get?
-short shifter
-rear motor mount
or
-race pipe

all about the 150 range...except the short shifter is more
 
short shifter & bushings and rear motor mount for sure. The race pipe wont make as big of a difference as those two.
 
yeah, get the mm and shifter (bushings as well) before you start doing power mods. you'll really appreciate the new feel of the car with these mods.

then get the intake and go from there.

OR stop waiting for the cobb sri and get a different intake.
 
MM hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took me a year to get mine and now I'm like wtf was I waiting for??
 
mm insert and the shifter bushings. You can hold off on the short shifter for a while. The stock one is FINE once you ad the motor mound inserts and the bushings.

There is also a guy on marketplace with a sued short ram intake for sale, you can buy it now. OR go on ebay, they have hks, fujita, mazdaspeed, and knockoff intakes for less than $200 shipped. Check those out bro
 
tzr dogbone poly works well, awr is the stock mount with a new solid center, those are the only two I have experience with. A couple different people make shifter bushings but they are all the same it seems so anyway you go should be fine. Short shifter I'd go twm personally, something about a dual adjustment shift lever I just wouldnt want to mess with.
 
since you have the forge, i'd say go for the MM and bushings for sure. then get the intake when it's in stock. then test pipe. i wish i had a MM already. that's next.
 
Corksport MM inserts $45 shipped.
Shifter bushings $30-$35 shipped.

Not sure which bushings are better. SU or TWN.
 
alright so then how does the combo pack from SU sound? its $140 for the "SU Engine Mount & SU Solid Shifter Spacers Package"
