Cold air intakes / tunes

I suggest the MSR intake if you don't mind spending 3k. Was lucky enough to pick one up used for pretty much free. I think it made a huge difference.
Cannot attest to actual HP gains, but the car pulls so much harder through the rpms like never before. I definitely noticed a sizeable gain.
Not only is the car faster from the intake, but It sounds bad ass too. It now sounds like there's a blow off valve now and you can actually hear the turbos nicely.
Overall the MSR intake was a really nice add on. Worth over 3k?? Probably not... but if you don't care about money.. Get the MSR!
On a budget? Do the BMS intake.
For exhaust I went with the muffler delete option. Bought tips to my liking and had a shop weld them on and cut the mufflers off. Car sounds great IMO.. Around $300 bux for the exhaust.. and about $160(Basically Free) for the intake.
Car is an absolute BEAST now... Essentially a RACE CAR.
Think I'm about to pick up JB4-bcm... I wouldn't mind an extra 100hp.

Sooo get an intake... get an exhaust... Get the JB4!
You will have a RACE CAR after that.

I just installed my MSR a few days ago and the sound is amazing. Can't wait for the car to adjust and really start to suck In more air for power gains. Great setup and easy install. Have fun with it!
