supercharged?
ok so i think i need to get a supercharger instead of a turbo because its better for daily driving and more reliable (or so I'm told ). I know about the header and what-not for a turbo, but does the same apply for superchargers (Does an aftermarket header become trash after supercharger like with a turbo)? What about "special exhaust" that are made for turbo apps, is a normal aftermarket exhaust ok? If anyone can help that'd be great (just dont tell me that turbos are better becuase I know they are too A supercharger is just better for me.)

nope, you can use a header with a supercharger. A lot of SC owners like the Kamikaze header because it's been proven to provide the most power gains. Since a SC is belt-driven and doesn't run off the exhaust manifold like a turbo, bigger exhaust piping isn't necessarily better. I'd run a 2.5" cat-back with maybe a 2.5" hi-flow Random Tech. cat. |

VieT916 is right. you won't need any special exhaust or a special header for that, but i'd say it's recommended because the ammount of the exhaust gasses that come out of your engine

Try to get a 3 inch intake. CAIs dont really make a difference with S/Cers because S/Cers just heat the air up anyway. Ive heard a 3 inch AEM Short ram works great with a S/C and its cheaper too.

I already have a RS Akimoto Ram intake so a CAI is kinda out of the question because I just bought the Akimoto less than a month ago. I was a little paranoid of water getting into the engine....Michigan is a very wet place to live most of the time.

Thatll work fine, you dont really want a CAI anyway. The only nice part about the AEM Short Ram is the fact you can get it in a 3 inch. Do you know what diameter yours is?
