I noticed the intake change above and was intrigued. I asked a service guy about the cold air intake upgrade and he stated that for the 4 cylinder it only improves horsepower by 3 and torque is diminished. Reading above stated he engine response improved. Can you add clarity?

3hp? ehh I think not more like 1hp. Now saying you lose all your tq. Is just silly. You will lose maybe what you gain in hp like 1 point. YOU WILL NEVER NOTICE IT EVER I PROMIS. Well with adding more air and a dense "cold" air will improve your throttle response b/c your not choking down the engine with the stock air box. Try this...take a straw and close your mouth around it and breathe ONLY with your mouth. Kinda hard right?...now take the straw out of your mouth a breath...you can breathe more efficient right? Same thing with a engine.

Also why I here I'll break down the exhaust too. Take your hand and make a fist and blow through your hand...hard right? Now open your fist a little bit and blow...better flow? Yes. Same thing when getting a exhaust lets the exhaust flow allot better thus more power and quick revving.

if u dont need the power id go for a full coil over kit. lowering springs arent bad but you dont just get the springs you need to get new struts and a camber kit if you want your tires to last.
