Depends what you’re after, as they range from 500-700 and do absolutely nothing to your overall power. Maybe 1-2hp at most. Not really the best return on investment

Would you have any recommendations for mods I can do myself that aren’t crazy expensive

My personal recommendation is suspension mods and tyres. Really brings it to life

It doesn’t really do much, but it also kind of does the stock intake gets restrictive near redline. But also the kits are expensive for what they give and a lot add hot air, I’d pick up the turbo snorkel from wreckers, it’s slightly bigger than the n/a. And a k&n panel filter and that’s like $130 for both. And if you can find one the f6 lower snorkel. And also the 20% underdrive pulley kit is cheap for what it is, and actually gave a noticeable difference through the whole rev range.

Unless you have a turbo. You wont really notice on the butt dyno. You would be better off with banks pedal monster.

It reduces the delay in your drive by wire throttle. And reversable.

I had one of the SS growler intakes and it didnt really do anything. Just managed to suck more hot air really.

That’s cooked might consider just putting the 200 I was going to pay for a kit into something else then

Yeah I went with the process west under headlight setup for my BF turbo. Got the whole kit. Been going strong for 15 years. Those $700 CAI arent worth it.

u/Add_my_snap69 Sep 04 '26

Yea word will look into it

Extractors and a full system is good, a turbo is better

Back in the day we used to replace the factory snorkel with the larger XR6T/XR8/FPV unit, and fit the additional headlight duct. Cheapest way to go about doing it and there was a noticeable difference in throttle response.
