    yeh i heard that too and that was the next investment i was gonna, well, invest in so idk about it anymore. but yeah im trying to stay away from supercharger and turbo because i lack money haha but i did just order my weapon r intake and im really excited for it. eventually ill get a borla rear section. and possibly some headers, the weapon r ones look good, but i dont wanna sacrifice gas mileage too much

    i dont think they're necessary, but they definitely improve power to the wheels.
