Thread: New SE-R Owner

That sounds fairly decent. I'll see what VRS and Vibrant have to offer, thanks guys. I just wish there was more info on the 20V exhaust manifold outperforming other aftermarket headers...

for a stock ve just use a ssac header man..

i ordered my exhaust from Mandrel Exhaust Systems - Featuring Mandrel Bends - Catback, Downpipe

use a magnaflow glass pack or maybe 2 vibrant resonators and a vibrant muffler an it should sound good an not be too obnoxious

ebay header FTW

So far, the plan is leaning towards SR16VE N1 cams, eBay header, some sort of cold-air intake (with AEM air bypass valve for the few rainy days here in SoCal), and a 2.5" exhaust. Is 2.5" too small for the N1 cams, or is it in the sweet spot?

dont do cai on a ve

Keep it short ram on the VE? Any particular reason? I've always heard the SRI was for torque, and a CAI gained more on the top-end. I'm trying to aim for about ~200HP, which from what I've read around here is achievable with bolt-ons, cams, and a hell of a tune.

you need a wai and 3 inch exhuast to get to 200. and ofcourse tune, cams, and head will play huge roles.

So either way I guess I'm having to reach a 3" exhaust. Guess I'll need two silencers or so... I know a tune an N1 cams will help get there, what about porting? Any areas in SoCal with a quick turnaround? I've heard good things about Port Flow was really good in Harbor City, anyone else? I don't have thousands to send it to Dan Paramore either

what ecu are you running or going to run? a good tune is always the best bang for $
