Unless you include a turbo in the equation, no combination of CAI, exhaust, and header will produce enough hp/tq to be worth the dollar amount. Basically what I'm saying is, there may be a combination that yields 6whp, but you'll never really feel any of it.

better throttle response doesn't automatically mean a lot more power...it just makes it feel that way

Put it on a dyno, and you'll see almost no difference. Just a change in noise.


EDIT: I just noticed we've already had this discussion before. Stop posting up the same, old, wrong information.

Agreed, noise makes it sound faster but its not really faster.
