Need Help! I was beat by an 06 ES
Ok here is the deal i was beat yesterday by an 06 Es this was upsetting so im goin to upgrade i have a 2000 Gs3 and its stock xcept for my HID's, 20" chrome rims, chrome headlight trims and a custom silver Grill (i sprayed it myself).. I wanna start with the intake and exhaust short ram, cold air any suggestions a friend suggested headers first. Manufacturers would b great i like the way the G35 sounds if i could get n exhaust set up that sounds just like it that would b great. i am on a budget. please guys help. the rep of my 2nd Gen Gs depends on it. lol any suggetions would b greatful.. sorry for long post.

Most would probably go Turbo. Maybe losing the 20" wheels or getting lighter wheels can help you out a little. I have 20's and when they come off boy goes my gas go DOWN. Its because I feel the car takes off better so Im ALWAYS gunning it. Good luck though.

both will run you at least 5k, it will probably cost more like 6-7k after tuning and labor.
plus, you must realize that your engine must be in top condition, else running a supercharger or turbo will just give you alot of problems
its really not worth it unless you have a daily beater car, and are planning to be able to have the gs3 in the shop somtimes for maint.

the problem is that, the gs is a relatively heavy car, and the gs300 engine is what it is.
even if you get headers, catback, intake, ecu, tc...you still wont be that much faster, and you will be a few thousand poorer.
unless you go FI, its not really gonna make the situation better.
you COULD do a aristo engine swap =), then you would kick ***, but thats alot of work and money as well.
