So Its Time To Start Ordering Parts

My Warranty Is Up In Less Than 5k Miles (so Like In 2 Months Or Less With The Amount I Drive) And Its Time For Me To Start Ordering Parts For The Car.

So I Was Wondering What You Guy Think I Should Order First? I'm Already Planning On Getting The New Corksport Mm Inserts And Twm Shifter And Bushings.

But Now I'm Trying To Decide In What Order To Do These Options:
Vibrant Exhaust
Begi Fmic
Turbohoses SRI
Rota Subzero Wheels (gold 17x7.5)
Unichip (i'm Sure This Should Be Last)
Protegegarage Manifold Set

I'M MAINLY LOOKING FOR THE MOST BANG FOR THE BUCK, Thanks For Your Time And Opinions!

Should The Exhaust Be Free'd Up First Or The Stock Intercooler Replaced To Remove The Heatsoak Issues.

Which Do You Guys Think Will Make The Most Difference At First?
 
I think exhaust first, but everybody has thier different opinions. you'll notice gains from both, how hot is most of your weather? I don't experience heat soak too bad unless I am driving for long periods of time. Even then it isn't that bad.

i did the fmic first because the heat here in texas. but anywhere else i wouldve done exhaust first (you cant go wrong either way).

and for the turbohoses sri, 375 dollars is a little steep for an intake. i have the injen and i feel as if i didnt gain a thing(and it was over 200 bucks)...
 
Thanks.... I'm In Phoenix, Arizona So I Have Plenty Of Heat To Go Around, There Are Days I Get In My Car And It Feels Like I'm Driving On 3 Cylinders Its So Slow.

As For The Intake I Was Considering Either The Injen Or Turbohoses, But Am Lean Towards The Turbohoses To Prevent Hydrolocking Because It Frequently Floods Where I Live And I Have No Choice But The Transverse Through Puddles 6-12" Deep At Times.

Thanks For The Opinions.
 
i love the vibrant exhaust. ghl is definitely another good option. the protege garage intake manifold is definitely a good **** for the buck.
 
I'd do exhuast first, then go intercooler/intake. FWIW, you can buy the Injen or AEM and just not use one of the pipes, and you have a shortram. Shortram vs. Cold air doesn't really make much of a difference, theres endless debates about it. Once you've got most of the parts you're wanting for the car performance wise, i'd then get the unichip and have it tuned for your mods at whatever boost setting you feel appropriate.
