FN2R recommended mods??

[David321]

Just thought about modding my FN2R and got recommended the Tegiwa CAI for FN2R's.
Any thoughts anyone?
Tegiwa CAI Vs Injen CAI which would be the better one? position of the CAI's?
Recommendation on headers and exhaust?

Tegiwa headers are pretty good quality. Lots of positive reviews on civinfo forum. I don't like injen Cai on the fn2, want the best for the car. Tegiwa Cai is a mugen replica, which is one of the best, next to gruppe m cai.

Exhaust, anything is good. Fuji powergetter sounds good, martelius had good gains. Toda probably the best

Get a GOOD header

Toda/ASP/Hytech etc

Toda hands down. I used to have a fn2 with Toda header and hfc. No header is better. But if you're low on money, just get Tegiwa, the Toda replica

Sorry to butt in but since we're talking about mods for the FN2R. (Car noob here).

If I get an aftermarket CAI would any auto mechanic be able to install it for me? (Rough costs?)

Also - with aftermarket rims. I am very keen on a set of Enkei wheels. Will this reduce the weight of the car compared to the stock rims and therefore be better for the car? (Don't want to get them if its just purely for looks).

Cheers in advance!

Mechanics can charge you whatever they want. Can be at least 150. I can do it for you on my driveway for a better price lol.

Stock rims are VERY heavy. A tip over 11kg, wheel only. If you buy a lighter wheel, it CAN improve your car's handling and acceleration by a touch, not a lot though.

Thanks guys,
i was thinking would it be possible to get a tegiwa CAI with toda headers? will they work together or it doesnt really matter?
And with the Tegiwa CAI the poisition it sits from what i can see is that it sits next to the foglights being exposed front on which is good for cold air but what are the risks when raining? not to sure if rain hits the front bumper much and then getting into the CAI Any thoughts anyone?
