You forgot the free mod that one kid was talking about last year:

Hack off the back half of your exhaust just before the muffler. Then, you have a home-made loudmouth with the appearance of dumped true duals (no tips).

Yes... you're just connecting two hoses that you take off the TB.

Earlier cars also have the EGR mod (grind off the protrusion into the intake path).

Use a scan tool to do the TB stop mod or you may end up with a SES light.

Because it gets more airflow and changes the readings on the MAF and completely throws off your PCM's fuel and timing
