What to do first?

Alright I either want to get a catback or a CAI if i do the cai it will be a morosso and i will descreen the maf and change the thermostat to a 160 degree which will show the biggest improvement in the 1/4 mile? I will eventually do headers but dont have the money right now so which would u do if catback which one??

Cold air intake will give you the biggest boost. Most people seem to do the catback and cai at the same time. Probably worth a good 20 to 30 RWHP increase if done together.

Those 2 mods-Catback and CAI, IMO should be the FIRST thongs you do. Any order shouldnt really make a difference as long as u get them eventually.

The descreen MAF isnt worth your time IMO and i'd leave it as-is. Both that and the 160tstat wont make u any faster...But the tstat is nice for the car itself. Some say you dont need anythign to turn on the fans with that 160tstat, but when i installed it without programming the pcm to turn on the fans and without a fan switch, my car ran WAY HOT. So think about that as well, you might need to get a fan switch or programming done to turn on the fans for you. That adds up as well..
