Yea, my car is manual, but i don't have any mods really yet, i have an intake, and thats it, would i need to get new headers, or anything so that maybe my car could handle it without any problems? could i just buy the nitrous kit and throw it in without having to modify anything? and how much is the venom kit compared to the zex???, and what do you think is better? thanx
