Ok, I know I could probably read through a thousand or so posts to get this info, but being the lazy kind of guy I am, I'll just ask it straight up. I pick up my new Roadster in a few days. What performance mods do you guys reccommend. I don't want to do anything super drastic i.e. adding a turbo, nitrous, major engine work, etc...

Thanks

 

1. Rotex Gold brake pads (almost dustfree)
2. K&N air filters
3. ECU chipping depends where you live.
4. Eibach lowering kit 1-1-1/4 inch.
need more?

 

How about the Borla Exhaust? is it worth the $$ ? BTW, I live in the Dallas Tx area

 

Try mopar it's cheaper and is a borla www.ajusa.com also. 5 Hp

 

ouch. $660 for exhaust at that site, Dan. go here -- www.moparsupercenter.com

 

They do discount 10% with the second purchase!

Cyril,

I found the green filter part number for crossfires, but it doesnt list a price and clicking BUY brings up an error.

BUT I also clicked on the Twister Intake link, and it actually shows the cold air intake they had in the Speedster (the pics they have of the intake are actually of the speedster, cant mistake those headlights. I also like the mesh grill that is on the speedster.

They list 2 part numbers for the Twister Cold Air Intake, but don't say which one is for the crossfire (both?) They are $205-250

That's right....But which one? I'll try to email them 'cause I know this is the real thing the fact that they installed it in the Speedster for the 2004 SEMA. Thanks for your help!

 

Well, I just got an email from Billy Boat performance exhaust. Here is the reply I got:

Chris the car at SEMA was a one of a kind and there are no plans to make

the system available for sale. Our cost to fully develop a system is

between $4,000.00 and $6,000.00 which needs to be recouped by spreading

those costs over several hundred exhaust systems. Thanks for your

inquiry.





So, looks like a no go for that, unless we can get several hundred of us to put out about $1k for an exhaust (that seems to be about the cost of most systems they sell)

 

I'm not in that business, but that seems like a no brainer to me; $4-6000 investment seems like a small investment for a company if they only have to sell a couple hundred to a market of 50,000 or more. Like I said I'm not in that business........?

 

Why do you think Borla sold to Mopar! They wanted to sell enough to break even!
