Seriously, do you think it's worth the 5-10hp gain from an intake or exhaust etc...that costs about 300-500$++? I'd say do other things on the car before deciding on adding some performance parts for it such as dropping it etc etc...Rather save up and turbo that baby with an engine built for it! Than you'll be seeing huge power gains. right...?

just replacing some tubes?

wow, do you even understand how an internal combustion engine works?

well, in simple terms, that's all you're doin when you do intake/header/exhaust. and sure it's worth it, i mean we all talk about engine swaps and all that, but how likely are we all to do that? not very. so why not mess w/ what you have while you have it. as fart as going for other things first, that's notta bad idea...i think the path i took was:
intake
lower + exhaust at same time
wings west spoiler
header
JDM headlights
there was more, but they were just little things...not sig. enough to count.
so i mean, you just take it day to day, and depending on the money you have, you get what you can get at the time being.
