Throttle body spacers? Exhaust? HELP!

[rtrw]

Hey everyone...
Thanks for all of the advice so far - has been on the spot!

Just finished installing the low t-stat, afe stage II CAE, and predator (using the "canned" 91 octane w/ CAE tune). I LOVE everything so far. So much I am looking for more!

Any advice for additional performance enhancements on a budget ($500-600)?? Looking at the throttle body spacers.... anyone recommend them? Any drawbacks to running one? eg. motor wear, etc? Pros/coms? Are these difficult to install or costly if I have someone else install? Are some better than others?

Also considering exhaust - cat & muffler. I live in San Diego, CA....can anyone recommend an exhaust set up that is legal in california? Is the stock srt8 exhaust 3"? I notice some come as kits...but if the stock is 3" wouldnt it be best/cheapest to swap only the muffler/cats?

Any other mods that creat a "bang for the buck????"
any input / recommendations are greatly appreciated!

I believe it's common knowledge from experts around here that the throttle body is a waste of money. See this post from Rambit:

You want a Corsa exhaust.

The best, and only loud when you nail it.

I'd get some Magnaflow high flo cats($400) and do a resonater delete exhaust($200) and I bet you like it. I would not assume the canned tune is "just fine" on the A/F ratio after. I've seen several cars at about 14 A/F which is too lean after doing these mods and not adjusting the tune. I've never tried data logging and adjusting the A/F but I bet you could learn on the Diablosport forums.
