some form of an air intake and an exhaust could/should net you around 20 or so...

Which intake mod is best? I drive year round in all types of weather, including rain and snow, so I need something that is safe in wet weather. Thanks again.

I prefer the Blackwing, but you will get as many opinions as there are posters on this board!

IMHO, Donaldson Blackwing. But, you should also install a hood seal to keep water from dripping onto your aftermarket filter during wet weather if you choose to do it or a similar type filter.

If you do the Donaldson and B&B shorty headers (saw a reduced price of $499 in Mid America) you'll be looking at +20, easy, and have peace of mind.

any intake that is not a "cold air". Black wing would be fine.
