injen = awesomemagnaflow = awesomelowering with tien or that eirbach(sp?) = awesomethe accessory for the injen might be that water cover thing, if its that its worthless. you have no worries with injen unless you drive your car under water,then there might be waterlock. i gotta run or id link to some threads but just use the search and type those parts in and you'll find lots of stuff on them here.

Go with Tein S-Tech springs. Sprint springs I just bought a set of Teins for $128.00 US shipped on Ebay. Look under Matrix Tein on Ebay motors, the springs and almost everything else are the same on Vibe and Matrix.

my thought was if i was going to do my exhaust i would go all out with the header, down pipe and full cat exhaust (magnaflow). it would be more toward 1000 for all those new but well worth it.oh and to add to that throttle body spacer (i have one installed ) also get a strut tower bar, they help when corning and are under 50 dollars

Please pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is a TB spacer suppsed to do? Is this another thing like that grounding wire kit where you're supposed to put 17 grounding wires in the engine compartment and get an extra 0.00000000003857 HP?

Oh, on earlier mention from someone else. Definatly go with a strut bar for the front if your going to put springs on.
