Default Air intake or gears

i have a 2006 V6 and im trying to get more speed and add horsepower to the car so i was wondering what would be the best thing to purchase an air intake, 4.10 gears, or headers what would give me the best speed increase let me know your opinions guys.

new gears will make your car feel wonderful, they don't add power but they help soo much. def go gears.

i'd go cai if you plan on keeping your warranty...i may be wrong but i think if you touch anything besides a cat back exhauste or cai, the warranty is void. if i'm right about that, just save up till ur warranty runs out and do it big. turbo. s/c. w/e u want.

Installing a supercharger wont void your warrenty. The installed aftermarket part has to be the DIRECT reason why the part failed. Say you install a cold air intake and you get some clunking in your front end a couple weeks later. Your car is 100% covered under warrenty in that circumstance. Say you install your cold air intake and you damage your mass air flow sensor somehow and get a check engine light. You will NOT be covered in that situation, but it will still not void your warrenty for the car... just for that specific part.

alright thanks guys that helps a lot the supercharger doesnt sound like a bad idea but then i most likely have to get a whole bunch of other stuff to make the s/c work to full potiential, i think im going to go with the cai it seems like the best option for right now.

As far as i know, mattj, that is the first time i haave EVER heard a supercharger wont void the warranty. Maybe not the part for interior, or suspension, but i would be highly suprised if any dealer worked on a supercharged car under warranty for anything between the intake and exhaust tips.
i agree. every time i've had them do warranty stuff that was covered under warranty they gave me hell over it. not because of the mods, just because it's money out of their pockets...it really does pay to know the right ppl.
