If im looking to install a new intake, exhaust, and intercooler and in the future hopefully a turbo just need some advice jsut cant wait to get my car just sorta scared to drive it cuz i sorta crashed the benz like last week

but just gettin some ideas for the IS.

You have the get the body kits painted yourself. There are a few diff options for a turbo. Plenty of exhaust and intake choices. You just have to read ans study which best suits your need and affordable. I would elaborate, but that would take out all the hard work YOU have to do, plus I have to go to class. But there is plenty of fun shiat you can do to the IS. BTW what Benzo did you crash?

my opion is that you if you plan to get a turbo or super charger then dont dont waste your money on a good intake and exhaust...like me... i am going to get a s/c or turbo so i just put in a the weapon -r intake a apex universal muffler...just for now...as for the body kit, the body kit never comes painted. They only come painted if u find a dealer that can have it painted.. Talk to steve and having it painted , I m sure hell know someone that will do that for you..

hey, i just got my IS today. its fucking sweet and got a really good deal on it too. I got it pre-owned with 33kmiles on it. But it has a rear spoiler, 17" chrome rims, 35% tints, moonroof. all this for 18,800 its pretty sweet i love the car o yea its black too with beige interior its sweet. cant stop driving it. Ne wayz i sorta crashed a C320 4matic (dads car) i was thinking putting a turbo in it but a stage I tubro looks good. 215hp->340-365hp but its like 5.5k and honestly im a highschool student. 17 years old and i dunno if turbo is a good idea. also there is this kid at my school hes sorta a prick, with his new S4 pushin like 340hp. i wana race him but the IS just cant compete with 340HP when the IS is stock. i just thinkin maybe go with intake, and exhaust upgrades first. Then maybe a chip upgrade (if it helps dont know much on chips) and see how much HP gain i get. by like end of junior year or mid of senior year i want the IS to be pushin like 300s at the fly. For intakes thinkin bout a SRT intake or an Injen intake. Friend told me Injen intakes r bad and unreliable, but i read an article bout some guy who uses it and it quite happy with it. and exhaust i have no ideas. sorta lost when it comes to exhaust. help me out. i just want to get as much HP gain out of upgraded intake and exhaust. wats the max i could get ?
