Nothing like that, but most folks opinion (here anyway) will lean towards not liking the bodykit idea. More folks lean towards the "function over form" way of doing things. A bodykit is a visual mod that does nothing for the car performance-wise. Not to say the Mopar side skirts and lipkit aren't o...

I've had a carbon fiber hood for about a year now, and I don't have holes drilled in my hood, so I want to take it out.

oh whoops... never mind.

Well, in that case,
My first suggestion is an AF/X or Mopar Performance ECU/PCM. I think you have to run premium fuel though...
Or, get a Cold air intake
or, get an underdrive pulley

go with one or all three!

good going guys.

Yeah, i just disagree with the fact that we have a CAI stock and our resonators are great etc.

I do agree that our resonators sit in a good spot, but as i stated earlier: there's no flow there! If you take the resonator out you have a better setup than stock.

Fail. SRT-4 was the fastest car under 20k ($19,995 or something similar). 2004 models were a bit more expensive, most coming in at 21 or 22k (mine was $21,810 after everything). The ACRs and commemos were a few grand more than that. Tell your dad I'll give him a ride in my "Neon" that with mods has...

I beg to differ....

unbolt the resonator, take it out, and look at it.

I'll wait....


there is only one opening in the resonator. It's the size of a quarter... SIDEWAYS! it's a tiny slit. That tells me that the engine is trying to suck up air through a straw!

WAIT!!! Stick with a solid rotor. Cross drilling decreases the structural integrity of the rotor and if you do any heavy braking the rotor could warp, crack, die, etc. you are also decreasing the surface area of the rotor and therefore braking distance is increased . As for the argument that cross d...
