Smartest thing I've read on this forum in a long time.

What are your expectations...how much (time and money) are you willing to spend?

all i can say is u get what u pay for if u buy a ebay header ur probly not going to get much of anything

When your talking about basic things like exhaust, and intake, there is basically NO difference between name-brand and off-brand products in terms of power gains (talkign about just basic bolt ons here)

An intake is going to function exactly the same, if you buy the $25 dollar ebay one, or the $400 dollar AEM one, the gains will still be small!

There's only so much air that can be sucked in at once, and the intake pipe isn't going to make a difference.

It's the same thing with cat-back and headers... the point being, they are meant to be less restrictive then stock! You'd be HARD pressed to find any difference in an ebay header compared to a name brand one... why? the ebay people copy the designs of name brand ones, produce them in taiwan for considerabley cheaper prices, don't have to pay for R&D, and whore them out!

As I said before, the gains are going to be small no matter what you bolt on, there's only so much to be gained from putting on a intake pipe, and bolting on headers and exhaust. Say that there is a potential 5hp gain (or more, 5hp to be freed up) from the exhaust, its not going to matter wheater it was acomplished by a name brand or offbrand becuase there was only 5hp available to free up!

Up to you if its worth it...

Not really crap loads:

~ $50 shipped for a cold air intake

~ $110 shipped for headers

~ $250 shipped for 2.5inch cat-back

This is for the 2.2l 4cyl right?

If you bought a turbo kit, the intake would be totally different, there would be no "header" per se, and the exhaust would be most likely 3/4 of inch bigger.

For nitrous, you'd be looking at using I / E / H, so if you go that route, its fine to buy those.

The trouble with these mods are that you really aren't going to gain much power at all. For the money you spend you'd be better off waiting for a turbo kit / nitrous.

I'd be willing to bet you'd see less then a 15 whp gain from those three mods.
