Cheapest WHP gains?

Whats goin on boys, im on a medium budget but just got my 2.4 and was wondering other than an CAI, what the best means of gaining hp cheaply are? Any ideas? Also, car is 5 year LEASE, so it would need to be bolt on and somewhat easy to remove incase something happens, and I need to take it off for the car to still be coverd by warranty...

Also, another question, Say I have an aftermarket CAI installed but something else on the car is causing a problem but it has nothing to do with the intake, would they care that I have the intake/can they do anything (because of the lease) and will the part that failed still be coverd by warranty?

Your warranty is ok. Intake and exhaust will not void it.

But, on a side note, I personally would not do anything other than tint and wheels to a leased car. It is, however, up to you..

some small ideas look at my sig. i have a 2.4 just got dynoed today and it was sad since im running rich and it needs dyno tuned ONLY DYNO TUNE YOUR CAR PLEASE. anywhos go to the dealer and get there intake 300 bucks keeps warrenty. and then go for either touring or sport exhaust from gm around 500 bucks. then go to cobaltaddiction.com and get there header and then there 2.5 highflow cat downpipe. if not do whatever. YOU can if you want get some 2.0 stock 34# injectors from someone that has stage 2 and stock injectors lying around. and then definatly get your car dyno tuned. but if you put your 2.0 injectors in you have to tune your car b4 you start your car with those. im looking at finding a supercharger or a turbo for my 2.4 after i get it dyno tuned correctly. its only running 169 at the wheels that sucks. well if you need anything pm me ill answer you q or atleast try too.
