What mod next after Stillen Gen 3 and Ark CBE?

Hey everyone,

Just installed the Stillen Gen 3 and Ark CBE. Love the sound but wish it was a bit louder. Question...whats next?! I was thinking RHFC/HFC or sway bars...any recommendations on what to do next and what brands?

Thanks!

Depends on what your goals are. There are so many things you can do next why not make a list of available mods and prioritize which ones are most interesting to you. I would probably lower it or get the Z1 upper intake manifold.

Research what HFC's sound like with your exhaust setup as you will be louder and possibly raspier. If you do decide to go HFC you might want to start thinking about a tune afterwards to take advantage of all of your new airflow as well.

HFC's!!! Makes all the difference in the world sound-wise as well as taking advantage of the increased airflow you've got with the intake and exhaust. And yea, get a tune from Joe (seymore4).

HFC/Test Pipes or Z1 UIM... either/or is worth the spending...

VQ37 Intake Plenum Power Mod or you can go big and do VQ37VHR 400HP Package that comes with Performance Exhaust Headers, Metal Exhaust Gaskets, Modified Upper Intake Manifold power mod, 2.5" Test Pipes, or HFC.

In conjunction with the Gen 3 and aftermarket exhaust, you will see a noticeable gain.

FI HFC or Berk HFC. I have Berk, love them. Sway bars are cool too. Planning on getting those this summer

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm definitely leaning towards sways for the handling. With HFC I'm afraid of the rasp.

Any suggestions on sway bars? I know its subjective..but any info will help. Thanks!

if you went with the berk HFC you should not have any rasp at all with your ark CBE. The rasp is more so from test pipes.
