I have the TRD axle-back which really does nothing for performance and I don't really know how much HP I gained since I've never actually dyno'd my car

whats a good piggy back system that people use? tho like the one guy said i dont know if id get much with just intake, axleback exhaust, and pulleys, or would i?

False. The clutchpack may not make a difference. The upgraded valve body will. No matter what mods you have. It makes your car shift a lot harder, and a lot faster.

s-pipe is bolt on...no cats...thats only in the header...and midpipe....but removing the midpipe 1 won't cause any cel...the header 1 you just put 2 antifoulers in the spipe and no cel

The o2 sensor is really easy to eff up and strip. What I reccomend doing (if you go the S-pipe route) is spray the crap out of it with pb blaster the night before you go to work on the car and then when you go work on it spray a little bit more and it should come off easy. Other people probably have other methods but that is what worked best for me

are you an auto? cause that makes it even harder with the #$!@#%^ transmission lines lol..very little room to work with so little to no leverage and I'm not the strongest guy in the world either which didn't help a whole lot..

You gotta pay to play man, dont waste your money on small bolt ons because by the time you realize that they did absolutely nothing, you would have spent enough to boost your car already.

Turbo or Nitrous if you want power, I personally prefer Turbo.

Take it from someone who has been there and learned first hand.
