Want to make some power gains.
Been reading about intakes and seeing none of you are getting little to no difference makes me not wanna money haha
I wanna new exhaust and was thinking of the Joe Z with a new resonator.
As of now. All l can find to increase HP is intake, exhaust & headers.
Anyone has any other recommendations?

 

Hate to break it to you but that's pretty much it for power gains. At most with all those mods you'll see about 20whp AT MOST. You're probably more likely to see about 16whp I believe but not sure. Either way the gains is very minimal for the amount of money going into the car, the headers are about $800 or so, the joe z catback is about $1000 last time I checked, and the joe z intake is about $150. Altogether it's almost $2000 for a small gain. Your only other option would be to supercharge but that's even more ridiculously expensive for a small gain. Figure about 40hp to the wheel I think and about $6000 for the kit alone. I used to want to mod my car for power but I came to realize that our car just isn't made for that purpose. It's plenty powerful stock but in my opinion the only thing it really needs is a nice Exhaust , which I now have.

I honestly recommend you just mod the exterior of your car and make it stand out and give it a nice growl. Or beef up the suspension, buy a sway bar and some nice cool overs to improve the handling and characteristics of the car. Because until we eventually (if ever) get a tuner , we're limited to the few power mods available for this car. Good luck.

Oh and don't feel bad about how the car performs stock, although it may not be the fastest thing out there, it's definitely enough to smoke a good majority of cars on the road. As a matter of fact I just showed my tail lights to a fixed up G35 coupe on the freeway from 80-120. Dude didn't even wanna look at me and just got off before we could line up again lol.

 

I run takeda intake, invidia midpipe, and hks exhaust. I take my friends g37s from dig or roll every run, and he's pushing 330hp.

 

there is engine swaps or a HKS S/C or some kind of S/C.. send the ecu to SARD or Novel to get a flash but that'll cost a lot hahah...

 

Intake, header, midepipe, exhaust about 20-25 HP gain. That's about it or 50 shot of NOS. Also you can install LSD.

 

You can supercharge and get the best bang for your buck..100whp gains if you mechanically inclined you can build your own setup for 4k...and install yourself. No need to spend money on headers and exhaust

 

Yeah, didn't think the 350 can gain anymore than 40whp. What would you guys recommend for the exhaust? My first intention is the F sport with a smaller resonator.. Until l saw the price of the F sport. What route did you guys take for your exhausts?

 

Try to take the G after 60MPH. your car will get dusted.

Every roll I do, I always win from 0-60. After 60 the G always dusts me.

IS350 is fast in 0-60 and up to 100 mph. But IS-F have bottom and top end. Most street race are 0-60 and up to 100 mph.
