Default Looking for after-market resource

Hey all,

Have had no luck finding a website or catalog that has a nice selection of aftermarket performance parts etc. for Crossfires. I have an '05 Crossfire Limited 6-speed. I have a nice exhaust on it but want to start progressivly doing more starting small with like a cold air intake and working up to maybe a supercharger. Any input on where to look for a place that will offer these things for Crossfires would be great. Thanks.

You have already found the best (and only) resource out there, this forum.

This is not a honda civic, there are not hundreds of performance and accessory parts out there for it. What is available is pricey because it is from loyal vendors that have been with the platform for a long time and are very trusted here, check out Needswings.com and eurocharged.com for some XF items and great folks.

There are literally thousands of pages here that discuss performance parts for the XF, get ready to do some searching and some reading. If you want me to cut right to the chase, it is a fun car that will never be too quick, if you are looking for intense speed or 1/4 mile performance, either get an SRT-6 or a totally different car, the limited XF is more of a grand tourer...

If you simply want some more seat of your pants thrills, I recommend an intake, sprintbooster, and tune. They get my approval

Check out Needswings for CAI, and lowering. There isn't a forced induction kit yet for the Crossfire. if you're more or less on a budget go to Autozone and you can buy the piping and air filter a lot cheaper than $400. Also you can find a larger throttle body (74mm vs. 68mm) on ebay. Lastly, check out Eurocharged they do remote tuning which is good for another 25hp. Let me know if you find anything else.

You said it best man, I had a TC before this so I was a little shocked when I realized how hard it is to find parts here.

@BoilerupXfire:
Thanks for the info man. Found the intake systems and the tuning software.. where can I find the sprintbooster you mentioned. I'm car savvy on a basic level, but am not sure of the function of a sprintbooster

The sprintbooster helps eliminate the lag that comes with electronic throttles, just do a bit of googling and I'm sure you'll be able to find it.

Where would you guys recommend looking for things like wire-mesh grills and other more asthetic upgrades?

EBay ( with caution - lots of rip-off there )

From my first post...

Not trying to be rude AT ALL, but I do not have time to go over every accessory and part from a 7+ year old car when there are thousands of pages you could read through yourself. Grab a good beer, maybe a cigar and read through everything you can...
