If I decided to get all 3 of those things Id be looking at $800-$1000 worth of add ons. How much mpg and hp would it really add though? And are there any other ways?
Well, with my AEM Brute Force intake and cutoff exhaust, I get about 20-22 mpg on average.

You have any kind of performance intake on it man? That's your cheapest option right there.

It's funny to see people's reaction to it in traffic, not uncommon to glance in my rear view mirror and see somebody hanging out their window trying to get a clear shot with their cell phone of it.

10k plus in mods on the car and it's the license plate that people like the most. Figures.... lol
