Intake and Exhaust

I just filed my taxes and want to buy intake and exhuast with my refund. Will these produce a significant improvement or should I buy something else?

It will allow it to breath-in and breath-out better so yeah it will improve performance especially if you have a reduction pulley on the SC. What intake and exhaust are you looking at?

A pulley will help a lot more than either one of them.

Do it first.

Like the other said...Pulley first! Better bang for the buck. And if you cant do all three then maybe pulley, HAI (hot air intake) and one ball.
