Default what can i do to get few a few extra horses

i have dynomax racing mufflers,have a k&n air filter...prolly would'nt hurt to get a c.a.i. but really what does it do,it pretty much looks the same as what i have now,could i just add a high performance mass air flow? and has any one used those things called a tornado?are they junk or do they work.and no i can't afford a supercharger,lol

The basics would be an intake and cat-back exhuast. You from there move on to things like headers and high flow or off road x-pipes, higher flow injectors and a FPR (fuel pressure regulator), and underdrive pullies, etc...Each bolt-on alone will not do very much, but all together will make for huge gains added up.

Catback.
he has dynomax race mufflers.. why would he buy a brand new catback?

If your looking for horsepower get a new midpipe. If your looking to make your car go faster get gears. Dont get a new MAF its pretty useless.... same goes with cai.

You use the tire shine to clean your engine?

The Vornado sucks and no it doesn't work. You actually lose horsepower.

this is a midpipe
x pipe


h pipe



But if you have no cats on your car... you probably have a midpipe... I would suggest gears if you have a midpipe.
