Currently i own a AEM cold air intake (CAI) im also saving for an 5zigen fireball exhaust. what are the expected gains for a 99 GS? im thinking 7-14 HP from the intake and im thinking 15 from the catback??

any ideas on inexpensive ways to gain HP like a K&N air filter etc??

thx guys

more like maybe 5-7hp gain from both combined...if you're lucky.
and if you have an AEM CAI, you already have a K&N filter.

 

5 to 7hp if you're really really lucky...

 

unfortunately, most exhasut gains are seen from freeing up restrictions. the fireball is a cat back (or is it just the back box?) so it is not really removing any restriction.

the CAI is probably responsible for the majority of any total gains you'll see. i would also say b/w 5 and 7 or so.

you should try searching, i believe this topic has been discussed plenty of times

 

Dont forget to pickup your 50hp electric supercharger off ebay :thumbup:

 

you got big hopes.

about 7-10 from both. from small engines like these honda, gains are small from bolt ons but the are nesscary if you plan in doing work in the engine.

 

To add to that:

If you're planning to more than just bolt-ons (all-motor build-up or forced induction) then you should plan out your list of mods very carefully from the start. IE: the mods you mentioned are a necessity if you're planning to put in more aggressive cams but if a turbo is in the near future then you've wasted $$$

7-10 hp? it is closer to 3-5 on a stock engine. but it sounds a whole heck of alot faster!
