    Race Header (what's the cheapest decent one?0

    Meagan 2.25" Midpipe

    personal preference, run the older style injen CAI, the one that goes around the battery, no it's not 3", but the fact tha the air has a very straight path to the throttle body, not a straight 90 degree bend before the throttle body making the air very turbulent, as for a header, i have the Kiddracing header, and i am in love. and the exhaust setup.. ehhh, not gonna make much power there bro, thats gonna be like a jogger breathing through a straw, if you want a stock look get a 3" vibrant muffler with dual slanted tips (looks closeeee to oem) and 1 or 2 vibrant resonators, and have a 3" setup made. with a 2.36" exhaust, older intake i mentioned, and the Kidd header, i made 241.3hp. when i get a three inch exhaust, and maxbore'd throttle body and inlet casting, i hope to breach 250

    from what i read, JRSC on an a3 won't make too much power, which gets pricey. many said, if they could do it all over again, they would swap first and go from there.

    EDIT: i mean, for that amount of money, it won't make that much power.

    you are right, for the money you spend, the power isnt amazing, but it is a lot of fun. Im beating cars people told me i would getted ripped up by, and i look at it like this, with alllllll this stuff done, whenever the A3 goes, a k24a2 can easily take it's place

    Yeah same thought I have if I swap I would still want to buy a JRSC. So why not buy it now slap it on the a3 and slowly build an engine up to how I want it.

    agreed with both, you can enjoy some boost life then really enjoy the boost life with a swap. or just sell the JRSC later on when you swap

    well the thing is if you look at it, he's constructing pieces of a puzzle to a motor he has now and is using/enjoying. so thus in the future all he may need is just a motor and he'll have all the necessary parts without spending any extra money except only on a swap

    I only want the cheapest way to 200-230whp ... I'm not *that* power hungry (yes I know power is addictive) ... I'd rather have money, reliability, and without the need to replace tires every 8000km.

    well the JRSC-R is the way to gett you there, but that tiny midpipe and stock axleback is going to hurt, if your going for a stock look, here is my suggestion on how to easily make 230 if not more depending on your tuner:

    Have a custom mandrel bent 3" made, flowing from your race header (which hopefully will be the kiddracing) to this resonator


    Then from that, flow into this muffler. Looks totally stock and wont be loud

    You might want to check out my FOR SALE thread for some goodies to get this plan in motion! I made 235whp with my setup with my quickest ET to date being a 13.4, it was quick enough for around town.

    Sorry to jump in but who's resonator is that? I have the JRSC-R with straight pipe to Vibrant muffler and it's a little loud for my taste. I'd like to add a resonator to try and tone it down a bit. Will that effect the boost and tune? Just got the car yesterday so trying to comb the threads and learn a few things.
