So I have my cai and dual flowmaster and loving life. But of course I can't wait for my next mod. Should I start saving for the mac long tube header, the sct tuner, or t-lok and gears? Thanks for yhr opinions ahead of time!

-UDP
-SCT handheld
-Gears and T-lock


This order IMO. You will need the tuner for the gear ratio change. That way your MPH isn't off. Longtubes will be a waste for you at this point. you not flowing near enough air to need them. For me they would come after C/H/I and other bolt-ons.

I was looking at getting the headers jst for the sound at this point. And I'm planning
on getting a pretty big sound system so should I hold off on the udp?

I wouldn't put UDPs on a street car, especially one you do any long drives in, but that's me.

How do you like to drive the car? That really determines what mods will give you personally the best bang for your dollar.

Well Im in school and I drive home here and there(about 400 miles there and back). So I do drive it long distances sometimes. What does a udp do exactly?

[ReverendDexter]

It makes the accessories spin slower relative to the crank. That's how it frees up power - it makes the motor do less work with the belt drive.

If you're gonna have a big stereo, the last thing you want is to spin your alternator slower (and thus have it produce less charge) under cruising.

For a racecar, it's a great idea - you spend a lot more time at high rpm, and slowing down your accessories extends their life.

So i dont think im gonna get an udp. But am i correct saying that adding long tube headers will greatly enhance the sound of my exhaust?

[ReverendDexter]

Sound is pretty subjective, and living in Cali, long tubes are illegal, so I don't hear too many of them in the first place.

Yes. They will make the tone deeper. Mufflers also have a bit to do with it too though .

Never had one problem. Drove to Texas multiple times. Not the mention one of the best bolts you can get.

Sct tuner then gears n tloc. If your an Automatic the tuner will be a big improvement. Also the tuner can improve mpg by a good bit if you put it on the econ mode.

Well i already have 2 flowmaster 40's so i gotthe mufflers. And my car is manual but i still think im gonna get the gears, t-loc and tuner next.
