only 50 for everything? I'd say thats a pretty decent investment. Kinda overlapping posts here lol, but i think that would be one of the first things to do now that im' informed ! Thanks Hutch.
And $375 only ... oh my goodness thats a steal.

Install at an exhaust shop would be $50, that doesn't include parts. Straight pipe to replace ubend and resonator I'm guessing would be $10.
The tips will be mos expensive depending on what you want. Look around ebay and see if you like anything.
PS, you're from Canada too? where abouts?

Just take it to the shop and they will have the pipe there to do it.
I'm in Belleville, like 2.5 - 3 ish hours away.

Funny, I'm new here too.Not to mention 18 as well.
As for the topic, I'm having my intake removed or replaced once I get enough money. According to the shop I went to (they are fixing my fuel pump right now $700), it is not advisable to put an intake just for additional 15hp because water might get in and wack up the engine. OR I can get a box to cover it ($245).
I'm also thinking of getting better looking exhausts. (After all the fixing and repairs)
funny how you got 6667 and I got 6668 member #

$700 to replace your fuel pump? does your butt hurt? cause you got raped.
and don't listen to those techs, they know nothing.
Unless you drive through a lake (and if you do then you have bigger problems than whether or not you are going to hydrolock) then putting an intake on isn't going to cause any problems.
And don't spend $245 on a cold air intake, I picked up my FWI for $40 and it outperforms a $245 K&N cai.

You're very right, dude. It was $200 labor and 500 something for the "good fuel pump". (Although, there are $200 ones on the internet).
And yeah, I think I'm just going to get a FWI. The tech was taking my car too personal. He was starting to treat it like it was his own car. Started inspecting every single inch of the car and wanted to replace everything. O_O
And...do you know what's wrong if the clock or AM-FM display doesn't light up but still works?
Thanks btw

r.s. is correct. I dont know of anybody who has had any trouble with a FWI sucking up water. You will be fine.
As far as other appearance mods go...most of them are very simple and cheap. Tinting your tail lights costs a 15$ can of VHT niteshades and a can of clear spray paint and some sandpaper. You can do a lot with these cars to make them look sharp.
Im waiting for the pics!...lol

And...do you know what's wrong if the clock or AM-FM display doesn't light up but still works That's what they do to most women, they figure they don't know anything so they will tell them lots of things need to be replaced so they make more money. Maybe that's not the case for you but it is not unheard of. As for your stereo, if you hit the cubby hole beside it, does it light up? It's a common problem, their is a link for a fix somewhere, I will have a look for you. EDIT: I'm limited to what I can check here at work because they block half the sites. It MIGHT have been on Herc's website which is no longer, but I have a feeling that it was a write up by BackInBlack. I can't find his links right now either though. Maybe someone will help you out, I am pretty sure it is a writeup by back in black.

Hutch can i ask where you got that intake? You're naming off these extremely cheap parts left and right and i want the details !!! Being Canadian i feel like i'm paying less for the item (say off eBay) and getting destroyed with the shipping!!!
I'll also consider that BBQ as it would give me time to mod out as well as meet you guys ! I also got your PM and i'll head there. Thanks.

Just go to a parts store and pick up a cone filter. Then go to a hardware store and pick up some PVC piping and elbows and make your own. Dont quote me, but I believe thats where he got his $40 intake. Am i right r.s.?

check out the For Sale section of the site I sent you, that's where I got my overkill FWI, they are no longer made though.
That's where you will find a lot of good deals.
