Default My I/H/E/P.... Help?

Alright I'm getting the Tsudo 4-2-1 header, paired with the N1 catback. For intake I'm getting Injen, but is it really worth the extra $120 over Fujita? For pulleys I'm getting the full 3 NST setup. About how much HP should I see? I'm also getting a 40" resonator so don't comment about it being raspy. So here's a list of the questions.

1. Is Injen worth it, or will Fujita be a better choice for $120 less?
2. What brand resonator should I get? (40")
3. Are the pulley's hard to install?
4. Would you run this set-up?
5. About how much HP would I get from this?


Also, YES I searched and contacted many people. And Speed-element said that the s-pipe fit has already been resolved.

I may add more Q's as I think about it.

1. No, it's not worth is. $120 more a product that does the exact same thing as the other brand isn't worth it. It's just a slightly bigger diameter (only near the MAF) and is one of the more harder intakes to install.

2. Magnaflow has some great resonators.

3. If you don't have the right tools, then yes they are hard. Take it to a shop and they'll do it for $50 - $80.

4. Header, no. Never again. Not worth it.

5. Get it dynoed after and let us know. It's hard to guesstimate.

1. same thing save money
2. i heard aero was good
3. crank is fine, alt and water is kinda difficult
4. i'd perfer going s/c or turbo
5. i'd say 15whp - 20whp but i think thats generous

good luck

2. What brand resonator should I get? (40") doesn't matter really
3. Are the pulley's hard to install? just a pain putting the belt back on...easy takin off
4. Would you run this set-up? no
5. About how much HP would I get from this? 12-18whp

i thought you had the hks hi-powered exhaust? why would you switch it out for the N1... HKS looks better IMO...

1. is injen that much more expensive now? wow...
2. i'm still running stocks...
3. i did the one underdrive pulley thing in like 20 min.
4. i'm not sure how much rasp the tsudo header gives out, so i'm not sure.
5. u might be pushing 160-ish. get a dyno.

3. Are the pulleys hard to install?

Not very difficult, any reputable mechanic should be able to tackle this job in about an hour...

1-didnt know it was that much more than fujita, bought my injen for 140 but as someone said, just be patient and look around and youll find it for cheaper, but either one is good
2-i heard magnaflow is good but i dont think they matter all that much
3-took me and my friend 45 min... but must be done with air tools and a breaker bar.. best if you have two ppl...
4-i would, cause i am, lol, megan header, invidia s, megan mid, tsudo n1 exhaust, agency power pulley, injen cai
5-im interested in knowing what you come up with, i noticed lil differences here and there cause i did it step by step, and not all at once, so i think if you did all at once, it will feel considerably different, however i would not expect to see more than 25 hp from it all

your exhaust must be really loud then, how do you like the invidia s-pipe?

i like it, its nice, only problem i have is the location of the o2 sensor, kinda makes it hard cause of the cross member... as for the exhaust, yea its kinda loud... not raspy tho, so thats a plus, im still trying to figure out the right combo for decent output.

right now im switching among three... tsudo n1 for daily drive... megan oe-rs if i wanna quiet it down a bit... and the megan drift spec for track or car tests.. but i have tried others, trd, other drift specs, and injen, etc
