Need some advice...

[FranticFocus05]

As of right now I have a stock automatic 04GT and I now have some money laying around... my ideas...

-First a K&N filter tomorrow.
-40 series flowmasters.
-Possably some nice tips just cause I can.
-4.10 gears, although if it is a daily driver will this affect performance in traffic I thought I remembered someone saying that.
-A chip, but I dont know what one to get so if anyone has one they like please share.

Its my moms daily drive that I drive half the time and will be run at the track whenever possable. Dont want or need to be putting down killer times yet just something to start off with, does this all sound good? :shrug:

A K&N filter is pretty much a waste of money because your going to get a cold air intake anyway..

if your going to do exhaust get magneflow, they just sound amazing on these cars...

I think a cold air intake would be your best bet, or do gears..

Magnaflow IMO sounds awful. Flows sound a lot better. Borla's sound even better though. Just more expensive. I agree with the getting the Cold Air kit instead of the K&N. Since you have an Auto, get 3.73's.

I say get these things..
-3.73's
-Offroad mid pipe - weld in flows or borlas
-Cold air kit
-Underdrive pulleys

Yep I agree with poopnut too.

I agree also.
My 373 made the car feel much better.
Not a fan of underdrive pulleys.

Go with the 4.10s. The 04s are stock with 3.27, 3.73's wont feel much different. I know i thought it was too much gear too, but its awesome.

NO NO NO....On the automatics you want the 4.10's because they don't have the same trans gears ratio's as the 5-speed and there is more drivetrain loss. You need that extra gear to help you get goin. In an automatic 4.10's are the way to go enless you do hella highway driving. The gears actually help in city driving and can improve gas milage. They decrease highway milage because your reving at a higher rpm. IMOP You need cat-back(I have magnaflow and it sounds wicked with my bassani X) mid-pipe, Cold-air and and the gears. That should be a good starting point for you.
