Go, go, 7afe!, more torque needed Options

[xkillerx]

Is there any (relatively) cheap way to increase low end torque on the 7AFE besides decreasing car weight?

Would an Injen intake or a K&N 57i europe kit help?

Different exhaust?

Unlike stated last year, I still have not gotten a new car, so I'd like to make the most of this one without serious mods while it's serving me.

Intake and exhaust, really no "true" power gains. maybe 5-10hp? if your lucky. It will sound better and give a slightly better response. I mean dont get me wrong i went down that route first, and from the stock silence to the aftermarket roar, you'll feel like your alot faster
And turboing, isnt cheap! You gotta pay to play! Sure you can slap a turbo on... but it wont last, and all the tuning, and little things are gonna come back to bite you. For a good DD 7afte like stephs, your looking at 4-5k+ with alot of work
IMO if your spending that kind of money, just go the 3s route. Replacing essentials, and swapping properly (most 3s's have like 30k miles). Your looking at a pretty reliable DD, with serious potential!!!
But good luck in anything you can do, make sure you have a decent muffler shop around you to make your custom exhaust
