intake manifold and t-body vs. exhaust system

[96EclipseRS]

hey, i just bought a 96 rs, and I am looking to mod it. originally i wanted to turbo it, but after finding out it will cost me $2000 was discouraged. i am wondering whether i should go for an all new exhaust system: header, downpipe, high flow cat., and cat-back....or if i should do a new intake setup: cold air intake, 60mm throttle body, intake manifold, throttle body spacer. if anybody could voice their opinion, or tell me what would give me more horses and torque i would appreciate it greatly. also, does anybody know of a good chip for a 96 rs......any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys.

There are no chips that will work for our cars. A TB spacer is useless.

First I would start out with an CAI and a exhaust. Then maybe a header. Then from there make a 60mm Jeep TB and port the intake manifold.

Get a GS-t back cat exhaust its cheap and works great!

If you are going that route.. dont get the whole catback. Just get the muffler section of the exhaust and bolt it on.
