Welcome Aboard!

Summary:

Intake will only grant you very minor gains
Exhaust (unless its a single 70mm with test pipe) will gain you minor gains
Header will only grant you very minor gains
ECU (piggy back e-manage or AEM etc) will grant you minor gains

(all together will gain you avg 230ish whp, if tuned well)

This car is very well tuned NA. I might have some people disagree but i'm comparing the "minor" to large/turbo based motors gains.

You will enjoy superb handling, balance and responsive suspension. Solid braking and high revving acceleration.

Since it is a 2.0/2.2 you won't have much in torque, but what it lacks in torque it makes up for everywhere else.

Wear Sunscreen!

Gears are a good Mod, but that isn't a HP gain.
