Don't waste your money, Get a Intake, or Y-Pipe, or Headers, or Exhaust, if you just want a little more power I say a Y-pipe will do it for you...

There is nothing near that price range that won't potentially detonate your car. The only way to do it right and on the lower end of cost would be to get a wideband O2 installed and an air/fuel controller. This option gives you customobility for your car and ability to tune for future mods, specifically a larger MAF, NWP's big throttle body, and larger intake path. Further maximizing your gains. And really, without these mods, the AFC's potential wont be fully utilized.

Specifically addressing the "chip." As stated, one does not exist that just plugs into our ecu. Our chips are soudered in anyhow, and would require a computer tech to remove it and re-install said (non-existent) chip.

The only other thing close for ecu's is emulation. I don't believe that works for OBDII vehicles, just OBDI. But, you can Google emulation and explore that if you want.

Search around threads on cattman and warpspeed for the y-pipe. Or just go for headers.

I went with Warpspeed's Y pipe. I could notice a nice increase in power and sound.
