when it comes to performance parts, you really get what you pay for. I did some calculating and hp averages out to about $20-30 per hp. buy a $200 intake, youll probably get 10hp. buy a $300 catback, you may get 10-15hp(at the crank). same with udp's and other things

All it does is allow your computer to read more air coming in and colder air making the computer dump more fuel into the engine. My buddy baught one for his neon after we told him not to and he noticed like a 5hp gain if that and his gas milage went down big time. It's a waste of money.
