Hey guys, I need some help with a shopping list!! Like tittle says I have 2,200 I want to spend and need some advise so i can spend that money wisely!! Any help will be appreciated!!
 
performance wise, my list would be
1) Intake $200
2) Downpipe $300-500
3) Upgraded cdfp internals/new pump $300-700
4) Accessport $400-500
5) an exhaust manifold $200-400
6) Motor Mount $100 (awr mm)
7) J-Barone STS. $100


those prices are over estimated, but this would be my list.
 
First you need to take care of the car problems: Rear motor mount and Diff. mount (about 350$ used or 500$ new)
Oil Catch Can (used 80$ new 150$)
Next would be the performance parts:
Sort Ram Intake (125$-150$ used or 200$ new)
Turbo Inlet (125$ used or 200$ new)
Bypass valve(80$-200$ used or new 140$-300$)
Test pipe or downpipe (80$-400$ used or new around 600$ for a catted downpipe)
Cobb Accesport: (used 450$ or new 600$)
If you buy the Cobb AP the fuel pump internal is a must(400$ new)
And i would definitely go with some coil springs to get a better handling and look for the car,my choice would be Eibach Pro-Kit(150$ used or 300$ new)
There's a lot of these parts available (used) in the "For Sale sections" of different MS6 forums.
Have fun and keep us posted on your mods!

The bit about the internals is not fully true. I'm bolted less a exhaust manifold, and at 20 psi I see constant small dips to around 1500psi in winter (0 degrees c and below). The worst i have recorded was 900 on a -27 day.
its different for every owner it seems... so this will be at his own discretionary when to upgrade. I don't think he will often see such low temperatures, plus if your listing the rear diff mount as a problem, which again its hit and miss, the internals should be first.

If you going to push your car, it would be ideal just as a precautionary measure. But then lets not beat around the bush, if you wanna push this car and never worry again buy a good set of connecting rods...

For that you're right!
