more power

[luigi3]

Aight, if I were to get a "chip" what is the best kind and how much more power can you realy get with one.

Or, would I be better off with a intake/exaust???

intake & exhaust would be my thoughts from the post i posted up on page1..

[luigi3]

What kind of in/ex do you think is best???

The problem is that anything that will make an appreciable difference will cause you not to pass emissions inspections if your state has emissions inspections. If that is not a problem, then you probably want all three mods, though you needn't do all three at once if funds are limited. The key is to do your homework and choose the chip, intake, and exhaust that complement each other. Buying them independently, you could end up running slower than you do now.

Power in a sports car is like beer at a party.....there is no such thing as having too much...

Umm...I don't know where you live Manolito, but I have a chip and exhaust on my car and I pass every time. Not even a question. I was worried at first, but the only part I almost failed was noise pollution. It has to be less than 91db in Oregon.

See things are different in Australia.. they dont really check on that kind of stuff. lol..and you dont have to get a inspection every year. .lol .

Well fortunately, its every 4 years. But your comment still makes me want to live in Australia. You guys can get away with anything over there. Cheers!

I think he's talking about a reasonable difference. I honestly don't think your exhaust gives you anything you can really brag about. Now if you had a three inch, no cat, side exit exhaust you might have some braggable performance increases and definitely won't be passing emissions.

With chip you get 10% more power, with supercharget fuel engine more, with turbo diesel engine more. Start with intake and exhaust.

im confused because i want to do exhaust but when i went to get emissions done a week ago they didnt even hit the gas they just let it idle for 30 seconds and let me go. How else could they check for noise pollution?
