Alrite guys, i've got about 800 bucks, bonus $$ from my Company, to spend on my ms6. I am debating between the COBB AP vs Intake,DP, & catback. What do you guys think? What would be the perfect choice to unleash this beast?? BTW as of now, my car is stock. Thanks

Dont buy a catback exhaust yet. It offers no power gains and its purely for sound. They are also pretty expensive. Magnaflow has the cheapest one and its 600 bucks i think.

With 800 bucks if your after the most power . . .

Downpipe + test pipe + intake = 30ish whp

Motor mount, shifter with bushings, intake, turbo inlet, and test pipe. That should come in right around $800 for everything and really improve the car.

what are you really after?? Do you want a stealthy car or do you want everyone to hear you coming. While a downpope/intake will net you gains it will raise the Ouse level of the car. A COBB AP will give you very noticeable gains without raising the noise levels of the car. Couple that with a rear motor mount to help that extra power to the ground and it's a worthwhile investment.

im with tunersteve on this one

Here's a breakdown:

Cobb SRI: $180
Cobb inlet: $165
AWR mount: $80
SU Test pipe: $110
TWM Stage 2 w/ bushings: $190

Total: $725

Option 2: Skip the SS and get the upgraded fuel pump internals ($250). It'll be a little more than your budget, but the gains will be there.

Meh I dont think you need upgraded fuel pump internals until your running a downpipe / IC / tune.

Arent those fuel pumps hard to install too?

You'll still see benefits regardless of what you have done. I was thinking by upgrading the intake system, upgrading the fuel system would be a logical move to compliment the air system.

How hard is it to install the internals? I dont even know where the fuel pump is .

I asked Ken to send me the instructions, so I could look them over. I believe its on the side of the motor, but I'm not 100% sure at the moment.

Thanks for all the advice. I want the car to be a sleeper. I was thinking maybe i'll go with Cobb AP since it can give out as much power as other bolts on.
