Gen5 Big 3 for a 4cyl cam

This summer i plan to work my @$$ off in order to make my cam more efficient +hp, +torque, and hopefuly +mpg, i want to;

1. Injen IS Short Ram Intake
2. Some Brand headers with X size
3. Down pipe again with x size
4. Some brand Exhaust with x size
5. Front sturt
6. Rear strut

Estimated price for all this is probably about US$1500 if i do some fo the work myself and get help for others.

But since i have no knowledge on any of this stuff i would like to get some feed back on what people have put in their vehicles, what is good, what i should stay away from, so on and so forth. Thus far i have found that poeple use 3" pipes and tail pipes.
1. Also what is the estimated price range to do this?
2. Can i do this myself, i have no tools (screw driver and a small wretch set) or welding knowledge?

Any suggestions, comments, concerns, etc. Anybody seeling these items, in good conditions?

Thanks in advance, and don't worry i will not be leaving after i get the answer.

use the search function in the threads, everyone has opnions and feelings about every product. Personally, let me point out doing the struts without the springs is like seducing a nun...pointless.

Seducing a nun?

Yuppers DJ-torn, good to search cause you even get 'how tos' and reviews. Also places to shop. Sometimes they even come back and mention quality and longivity.

just so you know, there's no way you'll do and intake, header/dp, catback, struts and springs for $1500.

It's not incredibly expensive parts, but it adds up quickly.

please do some research via the TN search function ... $1500 will not get you all that even if you do most of the work yourself.
