Just what I thought. On these cars your best off saving your money and focusing on something other than "bolt on" go fast goodies. Either do it right and spend the big bucks (engine swap, engine teardown/rebuild) or don't do it at all. Intakes, exhausts, chips, for these cars will run you into the thousands of dollars and yield a measly 15-20 HP or like mentioned above you will LOSE power. Not to mention that nagging CEL. Very touchy, these cars!
