I have been reading other posts and have another question. When I get the 74mm throttle body, shout I also get another MAF elbow and housing or use the OEM elbow and housing.
Thanks
If you are going to install a NW CAI, you will not use the elbow or MAF/IAT housing.

Thanks, Carl, I think you are right.
It was a response to my response to his response.
I'm getting a headache.

other suggestions : 74 mm throttle body ( do this before the EC tune )

as to exhaust, nothing there for additional HP, just whatever floats yer boat sound-wise.
I have the OBX catback ( Chinese Borla ripoff ) and I'm happy with that on my roadster.
Go for the borla knock off!

Unfortunately, it seems no sells the OBX Racing stainless steel one anymore, all you can get now is a black painted steel one.
It's a shame, I've had mine on for over 2 years now, and it still looks brand new !

Any idea how much that throttle gives more power and what it does to fuel usage?

You may want to consider a Sprint Booster to eliminate the throttle lag. I recently added to my car and it makes a big difference. It doesn't add hp but opens the throttle faster for a given amount of pedal movement. I know there has been spirited discussions on here in the past about it but I doubt that anyone who has actually tried it can say they don't want it. Car is much more responsive and fun to drive.

Actually tried it. Didn't like it. Sold it. Tune did better job of throttle response so don't need to waste the money. Was too touchy. Got sideways almost all the time when leaving the stoplight on wet roads. Very unnerving. End of my discussion.

Ditto on that, my NA don't have the power to go sideways, but it does have enough power to cause my wife to slap me and tell me to slow down. Ditched the Sprint Booster.

Yea Greg, but the old one I had that Max gave me wasn't selectable.
