Look into a exhaust system I have a borla but most people would tell you to go a diffrent direction. On top of that you could buy some headers that will give you probably that noticeable boost in hp you are looking for

hmm, could you give us a price range? seeing that you bought an intake, i kinda have a picture of what kind of mods you can get that'll boost your hp by some. give us a number crunch on your budget

In the end it's your Scion and whatever you do with it especially mods will make you happy like for instance I put on my new bypass valves and I'm loving it.

i would say to save up some more cash and then look into some mods...but for 200 bux...lower your car on some S-Techs or H-Techs (Tein Springs)

Just save your money and take it 1 step @ a time. Each time you upgrade you will feel it and it will never get old cause you will just keep going faster and faster!
