Intake: The stock air box is highly restrictive. Freeing this up would provide more air for combustion and increase power output
  • Cold Air Intake
    • Injen >>
    • AEM
    • Rebel Autoworks (RAW)
    • Advanced JDM >>

Exhaust: The less restrictive an exhaust setup is, the more power will free up from an engine. Our 2.4 stock exhaust system is decent (has 2.5" piping), but it is restricted by the header, cat (in the downpipe), and the exhaust section from rear wheel back (which becomes 2.25" piping and has a restrictive muffler)

Tuning: Our stock engine tune is rather conservative. Tuning parameters like power enrichment delay, air to fuel ratio, and spark timing will result in decent horsepower gains. Tuning after installing bolt ons (intake and exhaust) will further bring out the potentials of those modifications
  • Tuning Equipment INFO
    • Hptuners >> (doesn't support 2008 ECM yet)
    • EFI Live >> (doesn't support 2008 ECM yet)
    • LS2-Edit >>

    • Jet Performance Chip INFO
    • Westers >>

Legend:

Videoclip= video
PIC= Picture
INFO= Additional information on product

OK I think I got everything that wasn't added from the last thread. If you see something missing or a link that doesn't work just post it up and I'll add it. Also if you have a video clip or picture of your exhaust that isn't already up please post the link and I'll add it.
