The only way to get noticable improvements in hp is to upgrade the ECU or chip. And only in a turbo car does this make noticable improvements. +Xhp for exhaust, +X hp for K&N, it just doesn't work. It may feel faster because you spent dollars, but without changing the chip there is not sigificant improvement to feel it in the seat of your pants. There's some goof on the Audi BB that swears his 2.8 V6 runs the same as a 4.2 V8 as he has chipped it +17 hp, exhaust +10 hp, altered the air intake +20 hp, etc etc..... (He thinks he's added almost 80 hp!!!) You can spend $500 a dollar at a time, or you can call Abbott racing or go to http://www.saabtuning.com and give them $800 and get some real world improvement.
