just order the aem bypass valve off of the site, its a 2.5"

in all serious, dont buy a high flow cat. save the money towards something else that you atually feel gains from like a UDP.

also, start buying used parts and get into a habit of doing so. you save an incredible amount of money over buying new and 95% of the time the product wont look, or even perform, any less than a brand new unit would

as a matter of fact, WiTeOuT is selling a bypass valve here

Well - If i buy new, I can use my sponsorship, who will pay 55% of it, and I only pay 35%.

So should i still buy used or buy new?

-edit-

wasnt trying to brag or sound like an ass, just dont wanna get ripped off online, got ripped off 800$ once, pc parts. Besides doing 15$/mo for games, im pretty cautious of buying online.

-edit x2-

I'll make a post of a few parts im looking into.

a little off topic, but who's your sponsor(s)?

i was just gonna ask that since most of those players turn out to be scams. either that or that make you buy from places that are overpriced anyway so even after the discount youre not getting them any cheaper than your normally wouldve

just a thought

You bought from Tiger direct didnt you?

P.S.
You dont really need to buy the Bypass valve unless you plan to go puddle hopping in your neon

Sport Compact Pro, im also a Scout for them.

-edit-

It's a start tho for a sponsorship, gotta start somewhere.

but i want a CAI that will do what the AEM will, give me some umph. Not something to just be like... oooooh loookie... shiny.

BAD NEWS......IT IS A SCAM

Plenty of threads on this sponsorship

AEM or ICEMAN is the best answer

i second iceman, as ive owned both an aem and an iceman. though the iceman loses points in the fitment dept., the aem owns in the appearance dept. iceman imo takes the cake with it being plastic (and therefore much less prone to heating up as the aluminum AEM will)

EEEEHHHHHH

I dont really care I've just read alot of threads on this Sport Compact Thing and everyone say's it's a scam

Basically you have to buy the parts from where the company allows you to and they pay a certain percent and you pay the rest but if you search the internet you would be able find even better deals than what your sponsor is supposedly giving you....

None of my concern though just thought that I would be a good citizen and let you know
