Protege1984

i have a 2003 protege dx...is that a 3rd gen? i just bought it about 3 days ago. help me out guys..o and could someone recomend some performance upgrades to start with. such as cold air or ram air intake ect.

Yep ... any protege 99-03 is 3rd generation. You have a 2.0L right? If so, there's a number of intakes available but they're quite expensive. . . read this post and that should answer most of your questions as far as what options are available for intakes.

Also, check out the FAQ , it has a lot of info you'll find useful down the road.

Welcome to the club, and happy modding.

ALL 2003 Protege's were 2.0L's in the U.S.

thanks guys...ne recomendations for exhaust and headers too?

tt gary aka kargoboy...he sells quality stuff for both...

Yes, Thunder headers/exhausts are going to be your best bet. Just like in the case of intakes, these products are quite a bit less money than others out in the market but still high quality stuff.
