The new Turbo Kit (Est. as much hp as you can afford).
There are also Tomei cams and you can get new pistons to help out the turbo (8.5:1). There is also the secret sauce intake manifold. It is supposedly worth about 15-20 hp (i think).

Wow... you are gonna put headers AND a ypipe on your car? Let us know how it turns out. No one has that setup. You'd be like a pioneer or something.

SSRs turbo kit is way too expensive compared to this m4D Ty73 electric turbo and intake air swirler thingy I saw on ebay.

Lol aw... somebody got all butt hurt

You might want to define what performance mods mean. Performance can mean handling, tranny/differential, wheels/tires, power, lightening, etc. One can infer, by your post, that you meant power mods.

So... add this:
GAB 9hp

For this:
-Catback Exhaust(cattman/frankencar)..5hp There is also greddy, OBX, custom maxima, and a few others I think. Also I would put the hp at 5-7.

Heh, what do you mean by "actually show a difference in performance"? If I'm not mistaken, the 3.0L 5th gens actually benefit a little better from most of those bolt ons than the 3.5s. Anyways...a Midpipe is good for about 5whp, same for the B-pipe. A crank pulley can also free up about 5hp. A UDP will free up 2, at most. And yeah, a Ghetto Air intake will actually give you a hearty 7-9WHP. Not bad at all.

Not to be rude or anything, but some minor searching on this forum through the stickies and just reading through some threads will answer a lot of your questions. How can you ask a forum of 46,511 and probably 30-45% of those are 5th or 5.5th gen members to compile a list of bolt-on mods for this car? There are so many manufacturers who produce the same product that provide different numbers, that this "list" you ask for would be 20 pages long. Just do some browsing and see what you can learn without people "telling" you everything. Agreed, a list would be cool, but it's not going to happen, it's just too much info to put into a quick list.

All the mods listed aren't cummulative of each other, as many of them offer gains only certain parts but many times, more useable area of the power band, think area under the curve rather than peak numbers.

Area under the curve dvided by weight.
Of course this is cosidering you're into straight line engine performance/accel. , and from your post, seems you want to keep it N/A
