Default Single best mod

Just curious but what would be the census for the single best mod in regard to a Horse Power Increase for our cars excluding Super Charger or Turbo

Intake, exhaust, header, chip other ?

Obviously the price will differ but which one would add the most HP.

Thanks,

Test pipe would be the best bang for the buck. If I had to pick an order:

Test pipe
Exhaust
Intake
Header
SOS throttle body
FlashPro

That is not necessarily in order of highest HP gain, just the way I would go. Really they all work together and you aren't going to see a huge gain with just 1. I think the FlashPro would be worth it even if you don't do all the bolt ons.

You could spend $3000 on a full exhaust & intake and barely see a change at all.

It's like shoving foam in your mouth and running a marathon.

And if you're worried about emissions, the stock levels are so much lower than the minimum spec that you are likely to still be under even with a TP.

If your staying NA, i think best overall upgrade would be gears. Not a HP increase but accel and overall feel is noticable.

+1, and if you are looking for just HP, I would flashpro, midrange gains are immeasurable

Gears sounds good but I thought price was a factor as well. Gears are like what 5x more than TP...
