which should i get?

Hey guys im just wondering what you would do if u were me, i have about 500 buxx to spend, and im debating on what i should get for my car. What i have in mind with that money is the corksport power seriers exhaust, corksport "ms style" front bumper, Injen CAI, and white mazdaspeed gagauge faces. Ive been avoiding getting another intake right now cuz i got the hks supermega flow filter on there. Alright guys just let me know, thanx .

if you do your research you can find a Borla Cat back system for 400$ US with free US shipping... I think that would be good

the corksport exhaust im pretty sure is cheaper than the hks, i would do all that but buy the ebay CAI i have the injen and I think its too much money for what it does and the headaches it has given me ... and the ms style bumper is a good choice i like that bumper a lot.

This is what I would do:

1) Wagner header - $285
2) E-Bay CAI - $50 (or less)
3) Mazdaspeed exhaust - $200

That puts you at $535, just a touch over your target. But, you'll have a pretty sweet setup that you can build on later.

I've chosed the corksport exhuast because it sounds really nice, not buzzy, and is just about the only full exhaust i can get for the 99-00 protege, if i had a 2001+ it would be soooo much eaiser. Where can i get that wagner header for 280 at?

listen to what the exhaust sounds like on my cardomain page, i got 2 links of it on there. Its good, ive talked to someone with it, and it has just about the best HP gain ive seen or heard of.

Nautical,
Here is where you can get your Wagner header:

This is what it looks like installed:

I have to admit, I am a little biased. This is the single best bolt-on that I've put on my car yet. When you order it, tell them what material you want (mild steel, stainless, or ceramic coated) and Wagner will fabricate it for you and send it in about a week. You'll have better oxidation protection if you get stainless or ceramic coated. Coated will improve thermal performance of the part (keep underhood temps lower).
