Getting some bolt ons 😄
So I’m thinking I’m going to mod a car for the first time in years . What’s the best bang for the buck ? Thinking of maybe doing an intake/exhaust combo . What combo would you guys recommend ? Exhausts I like on the louder side … I probably sound like a total noob, but forgive me , I haven’t moded a car since my 04 cobra LOL

Cicio high flow cats, drop in filter.
If you want to do a cat-back there is a little more power there but the big gain is the weight savings.

Not sure how you get to this number.... It is true that saving weight on rotating mass is equivalent to 1.5x weight savings when calculating acceleration. Which is only about 90lb savings. Still impressive if you truly get 5 lbs on each of those mods you mention.
