+1 Unless your looking to just change the sound, then get a cat back.

Otherwise none of those mods will produce much HP even with a tune.

Really guys? You are comparring a $300 mod with spending $10K+ for FI. Great advice.

That's not what I said

I'm advising him to not waste his money since he's looking for power.. he won't be satisfied with lame bolt-ons

Really.. a $300 mod. He already has an intake $250+ and an exhaust $1000+ and is not satisfied...

So that's $1250 spent already plus install. Now he is looking for TP's $300 + install.. Which will not give him the power he seems to be looking for..

Then maybe headers $1000 + install $300...Maybe throw some pulleys in too bc as many people know the numbers arent all that high..

Moral of the story.. It isn't just one $300 mod that is being referred too, it's the domino effect..

So as Sam said, don't bother with bolt on's if you want real power, just save up for FI

$5k for CAI, Header, CBE, TP's, Tune etc.. for 30hp

Or $7k for Supercharger for much more??

Yes, but from what I read in your original post you're looking for power. I only did it coz I wanted a louder setup.

If I were to do it again, I wouldn't buy my intakes or pulleys or waste my money on a tune and either save up for FI or invest in a nice set of wheels
