Default is it really worth it!?!

alright so i have a 06 scion xa (5 speed)..and looking around i see that theres parts to mod the car (power wise) but i was thinking...is it really worth it? can the xa get fast enough to run anything besides an echo with out a turbo or supercharger?? just need some input of what you guys think..and maybe if anyone has a dyno or estimate of their cars hp


thanks,
mat

IMHO, you do not buy an xA or xB for speed or power. The only reason to do it is because you want the mods. Because you will not get the power out of this for the money you would have to put out for it.

it will sound better with the intake and exhaust...a small hp gain...but its mostly just for the looks and sound. if you want to go fast you bought the wrong car.

if your car is a manual...upgrade the clutch and flywheel...intake, exhause, header...pulleys...maybe some nitrus if you wanta quick boost of speed. other than that...drop in a turbo and watch that baby fly!
