suggest which DP's and FMIC

marcvtec · 04-12-2009, 08:06 PM

So I just made $ 1,500.00 today and I decided I would spend it on the car,,,,
So What FMIC and Dp's would you guys get if price was no object

I was thinking AR Downpipes,,, and AA IC....

any tips/ ideas/ whatever speak up gents ...

V3 in car right now with Dual cones and forge DV's thats it.

BoostedCosta · 04-12-2009, 08:09 PM

umm 1500 will not get you fmic and dp's?
ar dp's are around 800 and fmic are around 1200
but if i were to get downpipes i would either get AR or CPE
and fmic i would either get AA or helix

marcvtec · 04-12-2009, 08:11 PM

Ya its okay I will spend up to 3000.00 if I have too lol

Mike@N54Tuning.com · 04-12-2009, 08:11 PM

I would suggest the AR Cattless DPs like you mention (PM me and I can hook you up) and the Helix FMIC or the VK FMIC.

You'll be at 1500.00 with this combo

AR DP & Helix FMIC

stimpy · 04-12-2009, 08:25 PM

The choice I went with - Catless AR DP's and Helix IC. Take that as you will - I suggest you do your own research on the products

They speak the truth .......... as I purchased the same.

marcvtec · 04-12-2009, 11:13 PM

why not Ar dp's and AA Ic probbly a quicker buy also .....

dzenno · 04-12-2009, 11:19 PM

Helix fmic and UR dps

sd390r · 04-13-2009, 12:22 AM

well AR design will net you the most power gains from any downpipe anyone's selling right now (necks down later on in the pipe than any competitor) also great customer service

and if you plan to keep the stock turbos, all the intercoolers do great things so far... Helix is what I went with

AR DP's all day long! I have yet to receive my Helix FMIC but judging by the great praise....can't beat it for the price.

Craig@SupremePower · 04-13-2009, 01:47 AM

I got AR and Helix going on mine!!

Former_Boosted_IS · 04-13-2009, 04:47 AM

Helix and AA offer the largest ICs. They give you more flexibility if you plan to upgrade turbos at any time. Helix and AA both have group buys. If you want it now, AA has them in stock and they are shipping in 1-3 days. Helix is about a 4 week wait right now.

bulldog_yyc · 04-13-2009, 08:38 AM

definately the AR downpipes and helix or AA FMIC. I am getting the Helix.
