10818, Question
Posted by 97RS, Dec-26-01 10:45 AM
What kind of gains can i expect from an AEM cold air intake,headers,gst exhaust,and afx UDP. Also what is the best wayto improve low end torque. I dont really wanna turbo my car so that is probably out of the question, at least for now.

MT or AT?
AEM - 5-10hp
headers - depends on if 4-1 or 4-2-1 design, maybe about 5hp or so
GS-T exhaust - about 10hp
AFX UDP - maybe 10-12hp

get the 55mm TB also.


anyone correct my estimates if im way off base here.
hope this helps

that's all at the crank right? not to the wheels.

Header and exaust on a A/T will actually decrease low end torque and spread it out through the rpm range.
Lose low end - gain mid-high.
Torque converter would be best bet for low end on an A/T.
N2O is always an option..... :)

How much do you polan on doing to the car? A lot of mods or just a few for a little extra power?

Do the basic bolt ons. intake, exhaust, 55mm TB, UDP, some porting/polishing, header. And then if you really want to start spending the money, we can go farther.
