As the title says I have a new scion XD. Beings there is little space under the hood, I was wondering some good ways to add some more horsepower without breaking the bank. Also the brands to use for the parts being suggested. Such as k and n intake?

if you're wanting to do a short ram i would suggest doing something like this, cheaper and same effect

but if you want to get a cold air intake, I know AEM is one of the cheaper sets.

if it's legal in your state weapon-r make a 4-2-1 and a 4-1 header that bolts on may add a few hp. if you got the money, a new exhaust system, check reviews for sounds because they all pretty much perform the same. NTS has a light weight pulley. Sticky tires during the summer will give you more grip. For stability, a tower strut helps, sway bars help with limiting under steer and over steer. upgrading your rotors to slotted, drilled/slotted, and ceramic break pads, so you can go into corners faster and stop later

If you can't find any, then their aren't any in your area. Make one, flag people down and make one. Asking random people on the net won't help you too much, which you have probably notice already.
