Which combination should I buy? I can't decide and my parents and friends don't care about cars enough to understand the performance aspect. They think I should get altezza's and a sound system or something. Ok, here's the list of the four things...I have $647.13.

AF/X UDP ($105), FC Throttle Body ($239), Iceman Intake ($199.95), Trubendz 2.5'' exhaust w/ borla tip ($295).

1. AF/X UDP + FC Throttle Body + Iceman Intake = $543.95
2. Iceman Intake + Trubendz 2.5'' exhaust + AF/X UDP = $599.95
3. Focus Central Throttle Body + Trubendz 2.5'' Exhaust + AF/X UDP= $639

Ok, I know this was probably repetitive but what would you choose? I want the most power I can get out of these combinations. Thanks.

save the udp for last as the rest is all related...the throttle body is nice, but it can also be done later...do intake and as much exhaust as possible.

I just bought my iceman intake and the UDP from Newedge. I didn't call them though so I hope I receive it soon and am notified via e-mail about my purchase. Next, tomorrow I will buy the exhaust. Then I'll probably save up for the throttle body and flexpipe.

By the way, has anybody had any problems ordering from Newedge or Trubendz over the internet? I would call them but I am never home during their business hours.

anybody? If there have been no problems I'd like to buy the exhaust system as well.

#2 will net you the largest gain in power. The UDP will give the most, then the intake will give the 2nd most, then the exhaust will be 3rd, and the TB is 4th.

I ordered my volant and svt snorkel from them and it took a while to get it. longer than it should have.

I never had any problems ordering from NewEdge. Of course, I live less then an hour away from there so..
I do like viney says. You should work on your intake and exhaust first. Then get the TB later.

Cool, I just got done ordering my Trubendz exhaust system from Trubendz. So now I wait...Anxiously as my items are shipped to me. I can't wait! I'm as excited as a little kid! Next I'll add the flexpipe and throttle body.

Same here. I got 2 Volants from Tony and ordered my FC TB and the perf book and some mags. It took a little longer to get it, but it's always fun to talk with him on the phone - we usually end up talking for at least 30 min. As everything I got was good - except the TB as it was for a 2002 model but currently is being replaced - I will definitely order from him again.
