Dc5/R modification suggestion

[XP02ED]

Hey guys, Tax return is coming which should get some back.. My ideas on a modification i would like to put is the following which i need suggestions from people who have already carried this out.. or know what i should do..

Current Modification is a gruppm intake..

Option A : Buy JDM intake Manifold and BDL 70mm Throttle Body.

Option B : Buy Fujistubo rm01a cat back system

EITHER way i will have both these items in the future, which one at this time would be the better upgrade?

I WILL get a krpo in the future and headers etc.. but id say my budget would be 1k from tax return..

Please also say why u think it will be better ;D

RM01A now - you won't notice much difference with the intake/TB without a tune.

Plus I found the DC5R exhaust very restrictive and you'll appreciate the vtec note more with an exhaust.

cmon tax return!

hmm im thinking the TB and IM, just to make it not sound to loud cruising for now! ;D

i say exhaust and headers.
get a quiet exhaust system
such as the rmo1a or something.

headers and exhaust.

wont a tb and manifold upgrade reduce response with ecu tuning?

You will lose response with bigger TB and manifold, without a proper ecu tune, and even with that it might not be good unless your internals are up to par to match it.

Ive had a Bigger IM and TB on my older car and i lost bottom end response noticeably.

The box is ****ing Huge. You'll have to take out the zorst if you want it to fit in your car.

LOL ill bring my dads car then! thanks for heads up! hahahah

PS 1 more question

If i dont buy a IM and TB first, buy a krpo, this means once i get the IM and TB i need it to get tuned again!

am i correct?
