    Hey everyone. One minor flaw in this video I've gotten comments about. Pictured is a short RAM intake, instead of a cold air intake. My apologies, I wasn't paying attention when selecting the picture. Also, the spark plugs did NOT give me 55hp; it was from the tune. The spark plugs were necessary in order for the tune to work properly.Hope you enjoy :)
  • One great "mod" to consider that everyone seems to overlook is a good set of tires. Adding power does nothing if it can't get to the ground.
  • 1.Catback Exhaust 2.Cold Air Intake/ Short Ram Intake 3.High Flow Catalytic Converter 4.Tune 5.Throttle Bottle 6.Exhaust Headers(Short/Long Tube) 7.Turbo/Superchargers 8.Gut the Car

    I live in California and I can hear ricers in their civic across town its ridiculous I cant beat my meat in peace
  • @mattw.28
    I wanna see the dyno showing the 55hp difference after spark plugs.
  • This guy is smart and actually explains it perfectly I learned a lot, keep it up 👍
  • @johnbeer5242
    another free mod is drive fast while everyone else is driving slow 😂😭 hahah

    A more simplistic way to take care of both the exhaust mods(depending on how strict your state is) is to take your car to a local exhaust shop and get yourself a custom straight piped exhaust or a custom exhaust with high flow mufflers if you're concerned with noise. On the subject of tunes, I would highly recommend getting your flex fuel vehicle tuned out of either E85 or pure gas. Flex fuel vehicles will always be tuned to work only OK with either fuel and not excellent on one of them. I recommend looking around at your local gas stations and seeing if there is enough(or, close enough to be comfortable with only going to one station) stations with E85 and deciding on whether to tune purely for ethanol or to tune out the ethanol capability entirely. Either way will improve both fuel economy and overall performance.

    Not illegal to remove catalytic converter in Alabama. Because no emissions and inspections. Straight piped cars get "noise violation" tickets though.

    I let air out my tires to go faster, also put less oil in the engine, less coolant and run it on less than a quarter tank of fuel. Remove front wipers and washer fluid reservoir. All of this leads to less weight within the car and engine therefore it will go faster. It's been proven that removing the indicator bulbs along with the brake bulbs will effectively give you upto 5bhp (dependant on your car), as they take up a lot of electrical power, and as we all know, electrical power becomes heavy. If you're serious about going faster and being lighter, drain all the transmission fluid out and put only a cap full back in. It will stay lubricated but won't slosh around causing unbalance. I currently run my car as above but I also cut parts of the frame out my car as I don't think I needed them. If it looks useless... Cut it!

    talks about cold air intake shows picture of short ram intake.
  • @scottfarmer5103
    Somebody finally mentioned a bigger throttle body! I feel like they are so underrated. I have a short ram intake, bigger throttle and intake manifold to start out my little build. My car makes 140 from the factory and I beat turbo Audis and Jettas all day. not impressive I know but my point is they make a big difference on a relatively light car
  • 2021 Kia Stinger GT - Injen intakes, catback , HKS plugs, JB4 tune = 500hp to the crank. Love every second of it

    Hi, loving your videos so far, i am too considering a saab but i'm still doing my research about it. Everything that is quirky about it makes me love it more, to me the saab has got a soul, it has character, not just some boring corolla. A suggestion is to have your videos with lists to have video timelines in the description and big letters detailing the number in the video. the reason i say this is that so that people can skip parts that don't apply to them. If I do end up with one, I wonder if we can do a Saab meet =)
  • @gerrymendez339
    Another great mod is called a blinker for most people when driving it can definitely make a lot more horsepower when convenient
  • @alwaysarmed88
    As another person mentioned, you will need a decent set of tires and I include brakes and I'd include better, vented rotors. Especially if your putting out alot of HP. You have to be able to control your vehicle
  • @rjallenbach1
    Basically it all boils down to more air in at a faster rate + more exhaust at a faster rate = more power!!! These are some of the best mods you can do, you are essentially freeing up lost power with not much additional strain on the motor. I haven’t done much with my 9-3 yet but it did come from the factory with a tune for more boost, I like that. Before exhaust I plan suspension upgrades
