I agree w/what others have pretty much said. Notice hes not posting replies anymore. Save your 500 for maintenance and emergencies. You dont need nitrous and you dont have the money for it anyways.

Sure we all get a street race once in a great while and we might loose and feel like we need more power. How much street time does your car see without racing or the need for the extra power of nitrous? So as said before, if your not taking it to the track, which your not, then you dont need nitrous.

I think you would be far better with the exhaust mod. Sure it might only be %30 of the nitrous power but your car will sound good, look good and you dont run the risk of damaging parts by doing something stupid. Plus, its a base mod and you need to get those out of the way before you move to bigger things. What good is nitrous or FI when you have stock exhaust with restricted manifolds holding you back from making full power off of it???

Saigon-Bob, Hey, I'm not being at all disrespectful to you in the least, but I have to ask, at 21 years old, What do you do for a living? I want in Good for you Dude!!!!!! You also make my point! You are building your "Race" car, not you "DD". Like I said before, I totally agree with you, I just didn't know you were young with that kind of budget to spend on the car. You have to know you are not the norm. Totally COOL!!!!!! I just read in here so many guys who don't have money, but want to go fast!!!! Just can't happen. The more you beat it, the more it breaks.

Lol i have been building this car since i got it as my first ride in my sophmore or jr year in HS so that makes 4 years now? lol

I used to be an automotive tech and now im a hotel concierge.

I can thank my father for layin out some of the money to fund my projects but yea i dump most of my dough into her.

Although i cant say i have the budget for this stuff but i figure out ways to spend the money hahah..

I also have an 06 gixxer 1000, like 15K in tools... etc

I know how to spend money!

Does that mean your a bell hop? I have a buddy that does that and he's like 32, makes REAL GOOD money. But it is at a casino...

lol no i work at the guest services desk. I tell ppl how to spend their vacation, book taxi's, rent cars, sell tickets, and time share tours ( although i dont push the timeshares)

and i get commission on what ever i do lol...

Hi, im sorry I have'nt been on, but u cant reply on my sidekik so i had 2 wait 2 get on a computer .Anyway the idea about the exhaust is great jus wat i needed 2 hear . When I think about it i"m not a big speed junky anyway, plus were im from cops are everywhere so i dont speed much. so i'm gonna rephrase wat I need help with ,since my uncle left nobody helps me fix on my car and i dont touch it,so i let the mechanic handle it. With that being said I jus want to know wat can i put in my car to give it like a 50 hp jump thas all. At the end of the day i jus want it 2 sound and look good. If u have any suggestions let me know.

No offense taken.

While its true your piece-meal setup is <$400, by the time you pay someone to weld it all together, you're at or near the cost of a set of headers already done and ready for installation, such as the Hooker 2055's. If you can weld it yourself and you can sneak it by a smog tech, then you're golden.
