I'm not too sure on how far you will be able to stretch that $400. I know where I live in Canada, $400 would get you the SS and maybe the **** - depending on what brand you look at.

Personally, I'd go for the intake and save whatever is left for the exhaust. As you've probably read on this board, those upgrades don't do much for hp, but at least you can feel and hear some performance gain vs interior mods like a shift ****. But, it depends on where your priorities lie - show or go?

Just my thoughts,

Scott.

i would do the eibach prokit and axleback exhaust. when you
have more money get a set of wheels.

eibach + axle back = 450
eibach + rear sway bar = 450
eibach + short shifter = 400

I'd go

Kartboy shifter + bushings + **** ($135 USD)
and Injen CAI ($200 USD)
and then save the rest for car care products, or synthetic oil/gear oil, or just save it towards anything else.
