HI all i took the plunge and got a 08 journey...loving the car can you say addicted....

INTAKE:I was really wondering is it worth trading out the stock intake for a r2c or any other CA legal intake? i keep getting a mixed bag of answers would like to get some clarification?

WHEELS: how big do you guys suggest maybe some 19 fronts 20 backs offset?

EXHAUST: whats the best sounding intake around?

any help is much appreciated

 

Search Function?

 

Congrats on the purchase jmac!

For the intake you will find that there isnt really a significant increase in power from any after market option, but they do look nice and sound even better. So it's really up to you whether or not you can justify spending the money for it.

For the wheels, there are numorious options out there, and typically people run twenties. You can't be too sure about the offset that will be appropriate for your application unless you already have plans for your suspension. In other words: if you plan on lowering you're car you need to find the right offset that will fit properly or if you don't plan on lowering you still need to find the right offset for that route.

For the exhaust, that is totally up to you based on you're taste. I personally have the fast intentions CBE, and like many people here, I love it. So my I suggest that you look through YouTube videos of various setups until you find the one that you like the best. Try searching for Arc, fast intentions, greddy, invidia, amuse, hks, and many more.

Also use the search feature and look at the other members cars here to get some inspiration. Hope that helps

 

I answerd some of the questions in the "quote" btw lol

Most of ur questions were answerd quite well by the other member.
Now mind you im not an expert at all, just trying to give alittle friendly advice. Im telling you dude you can get EXACTLY the answer you want if u just search alittle more, youtube it up and talk to ppl who have whatever your interested in. It will save you alot of time and money.


So all i can say is gl!

 

Search search search.

 

thanks all for any help will use the SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH button to do a little more investigation lol

 

call me if you have any questions

 

Do a google search as well. A lot of times it will bring you back here but it won't be so confusing.

For instance:
intakes:

exhaust:
https://www.google.com/#hl=en&biw=14...319797d2909696

Rims are totally up to you.

 

i have injen cai.. its legal in ca if you ask.

 

If you are willing to drop 500 on an intake for sound go for it. But don't expect any performance gains from an intake system

 

You will see gains if you get a tune after you install the CAI!
