I have a 2001 4 cylinder es galant. Now what would be the best things to put into it performance wise?

 

What end goal are you shooting for? You can go anywhere from simple bolt one like CAI to custom exhaust to turbo charging and supercharging your ride.

 

Well basically as for now I am looking into exhaust, headers and cold-air intake to start, but if there is anything else you would suggest I am open for suggestions. Really anything that would be good to start off with that gives some power.

 

Well sounds like you want some simple bolt ons....

First thing to keep in mind:
8G Galant: 1999-2003 I4 engine code is 4G64
3G Eclipse: 2000-2005 I4 engine code is 4G64

So what fits the 3G Eclipse is the same for the 8G Galant.

For a cold air intake (CAI) I would only suggest AEM, AEM V2, and Injen. For exhaust your going to have to make a custom set up since no one makes a catback for the Galant. You can use a catback made for the 3G Eclipse but expect to add about 10 inches of piping towards the end. Headers I would only suggest RIPP Mod since they are know not to throw engine codes but you also have OBX and Kamakazi also.

I would get a intake first then get your exhaust done. Headers don't expect much since gains.

When your ready I can tell you how to do a custom turbo build for less then a thousand.....

 

Thanks for the help, now what would be the best intake to get, I have seen Injen in a lot of Galants but how does AEM's intakes stack up to Injen.

 

There just about dead even in quality and gains. I personally have not heard to much about the V2. Since your wanting to be a bit different I would get that one. If it was a choice between Injen or AEM reg. CAI's. I would choose Injen but that is based on a personal choice. I have had nothing but good exp. with Injen and nothing but praise from my past customers who have used Injen.

 

Okay, now I want to buy the Injen CAI, would it be do-able for a realatively unexperienced person to install. Is there any wiring, or do you just take out the old intake and put in the new one, then reset the battery. Anything else too?

 

That is just about all you have to do. It is pretty simple to do. Shouldn't take you no more then 30 minutes.

 

Okay thanks I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

Good luck!
