get a racing division cold air intake( $250-275) or ripp has a new header supposidly to add 24whp($624), or you can get the injen cat back (mid to high $300's). but if you have the money get a SDS they push 188whp or so on a stock i4 galant. then again you can wait for the stage 2 SDS(comes with a higher psi pulley, front mount intercooler, and 270cc injectors.) that will add even more on but for the SDS your looking to spend 3500 or so.

SDS is the ripp supercharger driving system and if you dont know what a supercharger is then go do a search and find out what it does. the cat back is just a bitter pipe that runs from you catalitic converter back that allows more air flow. and well header is just a header. and if you still have questions i would sugest that you do alot of reaseach on what you want you car to do. you just cant say i want my car to go fast without knowing anything about it.( no offence)

yup those are the ones they will add alot of power to your car a very noticible difference im not saying your car will be a rocket or even break the 16 sec mark but it will be alot faster.

that is the SDS and read everything on that web page about it ,it will tell you just about everything you need to know about the SDS and if you still dont know then get in the turbo,superchargers, and nos forum and look around for thread that has SDS written on them.

http://www.clubtgc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6856 ('http://www.clubtgc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6856')

and if you skip to posts that have been made with in 2 or 3 weeks you can see the major progress that ripp has made.

Get the SDS kit from Ripp, its the safest and economical way to go. Plus with the customer support, you cant beat it.

I beg and plead that people on this board will stop taking the word of people that claim insane improvements like 24whp off of headers.....its not going to happen.

Show me a dyno sheet!

And 24whp?? :roll: Come on...more like 7-10. Maybe

Even if it was 5-10whp it's still gain. IMO
