GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Here's a comprehensive list of things I think would go good in my car. If you have any other suggestions that you think would be a good fit, feel free to add them to the voting list. And if you don't know whats on my car, click on the link to my cardomain in my sig. Well, happy polling!

S/C, if you've got a line on one and the needed parts.

It would be a huge buy on my part, but alas I dont have the money for one! If only I was rich lol. Given, I'm only 19, so I'm trying to stick to the semi-poor man's budget here. But hey it would be nice to know what people think would be best. So keep on polling!

Get a stb if you want something cheap that will make a noticeable difference!

I'm planning on it eventually, but I'd like to hear from more people before I decide! GM Supercharger is out of the question at the moment lol. I could pretty much wind up with any one of the mods I've listed, which is why I want to let the more knowledgeable Genvibe-ers guide me in the right direction.

I'd go with the Catback, STB or lowering springs. Or all 3.

Its seems like Genvibe wants me to put my car on steroids

looks like you've got a little xtra power as it stands. lower it and add the stb for better handling, then work on adding the catback for a little more power, then SC when you've save enough dough

SC, cuz they will be harder to find later on and add most bang for the buck. well...for "stock aftermarket parts" otherwise theres the turbo route .

I think the SC is more of a dream buy I already plan to lower and add the stb to it as soon as i've taken care of some personal things. Like, my job.

Yeah man, get the SC so you can go through all the problems the others have had with theirs.. lol...

MUAHAHAHA.....I'm already a member of the dark side. I have DC headers

It seems the consensus here will be to lower it and put the stb on. I think the strut bar is gonna come first, then when i rack up the dough, either lowering springs or a full coilover job.

If you got some cash get the magnaflow

I'm also thinking about that too Lots to do with lots of time

a header and no cat-back... that should be illegal... thats my vote- Magnaflow

haha exactly. It's illegal. I might go axleback so i can keep the cat. But I'm thinking it wont do anything for me to go axleback, just excessive noise. Magnaflow it is....but one question. How do I solve the problem of passing emissions?

Magnaflow is a cat-back system. You cut the pipe after the cat and put it on...

magnaflow is not illegal... you keep your cat and bolt on right after it replacing the pipe, muffler and tip. Just more flow.What "should be" illegal is you have already have a nice header and then you have a restrictive oem pipe from the cat back.you should get the cat-back and a high flow cat, then you would be done your exhaust from the engine back and still pass emissions tests

Ohhh haha well I would probably want to get the expensive high flow cat and have it installed all at once with the exhaust....which would be pretty sweet. It's a work in progress.

Apparently the factory cat is pretty high-flow. Just leave it on, the aftermarket ones don't last very long and you aren't going to get any gains from it anyways.

Lol. I should probably delete this thread seeing how I dont have the vibe no more. Go corolla!
