Are there any NA mods that are worth it?

I am talking ROI here. Usually there is a break point where it just makes sense to go FI. Where is that break point? What NA power mods are worth it? CAI? Test Pipe? Header?

Test pipe (or affordable 3" headerback like berk) and tune. Not easy to get more power from these cars n/a.

Tune is the best mod, hands down. It's still a rather expensive one though.

CAI, testpipe, tune - that's it. Anything beyond that is big bucks. Exhaust does almost nothing and is mainly for sound, weight savings, looks - the power is gained from the testpipe alone.

Headers are expensive - and, buy the wrong one and you'll actually LOSE power and torque - it's pretty hard to beat the stock header.

CA, TP, tune (and exhaust if you must) will probably get you +15 to +20 whp. After that, expect to spend lots of money if you want bigger numbers from an NA F22C.

Depends on what you call worth it. If your pockets are very deep there are tons of mods you can do for a little power. To make big power takes big $. FI is your cheapest option, but it depends on your wants/needs.

A testpipe is the only real bang for your buck N/A mod for the S2K

If you want real bang for your buck perforance it's time to go Boosted.

People who mod their s2k allmotor arent trying to get everypony for their penny. They're after novelty sound and rawness of an allmotor rwd honda.
