Default ESX Street legal 365hp package?

http://www.esxmotorsports.com/html/flyer.htm

Don't know if this is old news but ESX hasn't gotten around much lately so it could be new. CARB exempt, really? Normally I'd laugh at such a statement but ESX has close ties with subaru so maybe...

this is nothing new and rediculously expensive. You can gain the same if not more with aftermarket mods....

Let's see here ...

Wrinkle Red Intake: $250
Performance Intercooler: $800
Catback Exhaust: $500
Fuel Pump: $80
ECUTek: $800

Total: ~$2500.

Why are they charging an extra $1000? Bwahahaha. Rediculous.

Furthermore, the money is MUCH better spent on a downpipe + APS Inlet tube instead of an intercooler. The stock intercooler works fine with the stock turbo.

365hp to them = 365 flywheel hp.
365hp at the flywheel = ~300whp.

NO WAY that kit is putting down 300whp with 2 cats in the downpipe.

That's what has always befuddled me about the ESX car...365 hp w/o a dp?

DO NOT buy anything from esx. It is an extreme rip off. They charge almost double for parts.

I agree....

APS 3" catted exhaust $1300
APS CAI $260
EcuTek Reflash $800

~$2500 this kit would yield 370 @ the crank. For the $$$ This car is not worth it for performance....maybe being a limited edition...if thats what you like.....and you got the lettuce $$$$$
