I am moving to Skagway. I have an Injen CAI and Magnaflow exhaust so I hope that will help. I plan on having my vehicle completely looked over before I leave. I just checked the manual for the max load, I'll double check it again, thanks.

exhaust vs cai

I have a magnaflow exhaust, but I haven't installed it yet. My question is it worth buying a new air intake system? I am looking to increase performance, I'm not concerned about sound. I read articles on genvibe about a vibe GT that was dyno with injen CAI first then with magnaflow exhaust. There wa...

I am very disappointed with the moon and tunes package sound quality. I have been researching new speakers and a stereo, my question is with the moon and tunes package there is a 200-watt sound package. Is this a separate amplifier from the stock stereo? If it is, then if I installed an after market...
