[QUOTE][so why do wrx , evo;s and shit have them? u should tell the design team that theyre fuckd/QUOTE]
One word.... HOMOLOGATION. this allows them to utilise these when building rally cars, ie the hole there, we now can play "use the rules" game when building a car.

wet pod = BAD, air will not be able to get through as good, and if the water soaks through the pod and gets into the inlet you will have problems,

well in this circumstance yes, having a car parked, pissing down ran and a big hole over it, get wet, sure... I the raly car we always have used pod filters. We get cold air through the wheel arch, which in the AE10# a hole is already there, just remove the dust/resonance box just behing the bumper, get a VN intake pipe (The bit that is bolted directly to the air box), drill four holes, bolt this on, a bit of pipe that runs to the bumper, and run done!

you probably won't need extractors as the general consensus is that the factory headers are quite good

By no means, all changing the rear half gives is a 5hp increase in power and alot more noise.. the headers is where all the power is hidden so change both.

i mean like WHAT exhaust exactly , WHAT cams...

and in what order..

1.Exhaust. unless a custom jobbie.... well there are many to choose from and all work well, so that's abit of research you'll need to do.
2. Pull the head off, port job, may be a shave, but definately get a TRD gasket($150), this will give you a bit more comp, good springs, put it back togther with some B/P cams if you have a S/P 4AGE
3. Save for some decent cam with gears and an A/M ECU, Mircotech etc, most are the same these days. Injectors, fuel pump.
4.somewhere do suspsension and brakes...I like doing this stuff 1st, because I'll prefer handling and breaking over power. It's fun being able to pull away from faster cars into and out of corners, and watching their faces trying to figure things out.
5. finally things like quad throttles, etc this is going to cost a bit as fabrications are necessary.
