mods for my vibe?

Post by travis1043 »

i'm new to this site i've got a 04 vibe base model. i made sure i got the sport package, moons and tunes, power everything, and its an automatic. got the car in the divorce. now i'm looking to fix her up right. i was wondering the best performance pieces for the money. i've looked into the injen cai and possible exhaust. any suggestions?

For half the cost of the Injen($220+/-) you could go with the Cosmo Racing CAI($115). It is a little less in quality but will give you close to the same gains. As far as exhaust, most people seem to be happy with the Magnaflow Cat-Back system.

Yes, if you need it to pass emissions the get the Injen.The '03 intake should fit the '04.The Matrix XR and Corolla intakes should fit as well.
