The intake stuff that everyone has mentioned....CAI, TB/P....NOt sure which brand yet...My question is can I install thi myself...On my last car I installed the CAI no problem, and I've done brake pad changes/simple maintenance...Will this be easy enough for me to do myself, I'm a little concerned about the tb/plenum...After this I'm getting a catback and midpipe...I don't think I'm doing headers since they are a bit more difficult/and the fact that CA has PITA emissions laws....If I do the intake stuff and midpipe, catback, will this work out ok? I mean since I don't have headers done or anything, I won't have any back pressure problems will I? If need be down the line I may do shorty headers...cause thats all thats allowed in CA apparently....YOur information is appreciated....

Yea...you can install a CAI TB/Plenum with simple hand tools. Its very easy.

CAI, TB,PLenum install should take you about an hour.

Ok good....And I won't have back pressure problems (guy at a muffler shop mentioned this to me) if I get midpipe and catback only? Also whats the difference between the regular CAI and the ones with like say 85mm MAF? Does this just tell the computer more air s coming in? What are the benefits?

bigger MAM allows for more air, but it completely useless and unnecessary for a N/A car. Backpressure problems? Don't let that guy touch your car again, he's a moron. Like I said get your CAI. Forget about replacing the MAM, get a 75MM tb, and plenum. I suggest BBK TB and C&L Plenum, but that's just me. Seriously take about an hour. You will be happy!
