whats first

[99_SL2]

just bought a 99 sl2, wondering what your opinions on first thing to be upgraded is.. it just doesnt push me in my seat really, which is what ultimately i am going for of course

[brokenheadz2003]

is it a manual or an automatic? seriously go check the search function out,.

to get simple gains out of any engine one must open up the airflow, less restriction means less work which in turn mean more power. alot of peoples first modification is an intake, this opens up airflow into the engine which makes it "breath" better, which means more power. now that your engine is inhaling better now you must let it exhale better, an exhaust system, be it a catback, or just a muffler. and of course an after market exhaust manifold helps as well.

so long story shortmake it breath better and you will be pushed into your seat more

thanks, just looking for first upgrade after that ill have fun, just wondering what the typical first is, and its automatic sadly

[brokenheadz2003]

my fist car was a 95 sl2 automatic and it did me fine....get an intake and you will love the sound and performance gain, its not so much horspower, but you will fell the difference getting on the freeway and such....the brand of the intake doesnt really matter, you could go on ebay and get one for like 10 bucks, its the filter that really matters, geta good filter such as, k&n AEM, etc those are the best bet.

If you want to feel your back in the seat, just get a 50hp shot of nitrous.

Hell yeah, ain't that the truth Vin. I know I did, bang for the buck it's the best thing for a little extra fun lol.

You can do alot little stuff for little gains that in the long run may add up for a difference. That is how everybody usually starts out for fun and it just keeps going. Intake, Hi-flow (or no cat) exhaust system, weight loss, etc....

you are going to get alot of different opinions from everbody. I would just cruise thorugh the threads (here and TSN) and read about what has worked and not worked for others.

my first two mods were intake and muffler - definitely the way to go first off. I haven't gotten it yet, but i heard a computer chip will give you a nice kick.

[brokenheadz2003]

i pretty sure there is no computer chip for any s series car

[Silent Bob]

If you want a good kick, send me your money and I'll give you a swift kick in the ass. You'll get more for your money [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/lol.gif[/img]. Seriously though, there are no chips that work

Dude, you seriously need kicked in the nutz.

Yeah.... I did it.

The only time there will ever be chips is when someone cracks the ECU.. fully.
