Since you've already been tuned you might as well get headers and hf cats - costs range depending on what brand you get but will cost $700+

Scoop/washer tank relocation and ported throttle body will finish off your intake upgrades and add some more power. Headers would be the next step. I would get a catch can somewhere in there too.

U don't got to get smog for the first five years of your car mine is a 13 so I don't got to get smogged until 2018 and throttle bodies don't cost that much if I get high flow cats would I have to get custom piping or just weld it on to the stock one

Be careful with doing headers in CA. legally you can only do shorties, but people still chance it and/or swap them out for inspection.

Id's suggest doing a ported TB, catch can and then look into shorty headers to stay legal.

If you do go with headers/high flow cats you can order them to fit right up to your stock exhaust so they are 100% reversible.

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Best regards,

Tyler

If I said what I really wanted to, I would be banned. So I will just be nice and ignore all this.

Last I saw, Bo White ported and modified TB's go for $150. He ports the hump out just like the rest but he also modifies them to actually increase the airflow going through it.
