It's over $1,000 worth of parts but bolt on's won't add that much horsepower regardless of their price. I mean 15hp at the wheels is a nice gain, but to see real power you'd need internals, tuning, or forced induction.

exactly. not to be a dick at all, but you'll prolly shave more time from your ET by tossing in a n upgraded clutch and grippier tires than any of that.

Wouldn't a 3inch exhaust hurt more than help a NA car

welcome to the wonderful world of bolt ons

thats why I spent as less as I could on bolt ons.

No need in buying $600 exhaust systems, $600 header or $300 intake
