Hey everyone. One minor flaw in this video I've gotten comments about. Pictured is a short RAM intake, instead of a cold air intake. My apologies, I wasn't paying attention when selecting the picture. Also, the spark plugs did NOT give me 55hp; it was from the tune. The spark plugs were necessary in order for the tune to work properly.Hope you enjoy :)

You missed stickers. A sticker adds 25 hp

One great "mod" to consider that everyone seems to overlook is a good set of tires. Adding power does nothing if it can't get to the ground.

1.Catback Exhaust 2.Cold Air Intake/ Short Ram Intake 3.High Flow Catalytic Converter 4.Tune 5.Throttle Bottle 6.Exhaust Headers(Short/Long Tube) 7.Turbo/Superchargers 8.Gut the Car

I live in California and I can hear ricers in their civic across town its ridiculous I cant beat my meat in peace

I wanna see the dyno showing the 55hp difference after spark plugs.

Not illegal to remove catalytic converter in Alabama. Because no emissions and inspections. Straight piped cars get "noise violation" tickets though.

another free mod is drive fast while everyone else is driving slow 😂😭 hahah

This guy is smart and actually explains it perfectly I learned a lot, keep it up 👍

I let air out my tires to go faster, also put less oil in the engine, less coolant and run it on less than a quarter tank of fuel. Remove front wipers and washer fluid reservoir. All of this leads to less weight within the car and engine therefore it will go faster. It's been proven that removing the indicator bulbs along with the brake bulbs will effectively give you upto 5bhp (dependant on your car), as they take up a lot of electrical power, and as we all know, electrical power becomes heavy. If you're serious about going faster and being lighter, drain all the transmission fluid out and put only a cap full back in. It will stay lubricated but won't slosh around causing unbalance. I currently run my car as above but I also cut parts of the frame out my car as I don't think I needed them. If it looks useless... Cut it!

talks about cold air intake shows picture of short ram intake.

"I hope you enjoyed this day and have a good video" hahahah i got that one 😂

A more simplistic way to take care of both the exhaust mods(depending on how strict your state is) is to take your car to a local exhaust shop and get yourself a custom straight piped exhaust or a custom exhaust with high flow mufflers if you're concerned with noise. On the subject of tunes, I would highly recommend getting your flex fuel vehicle tuned out of either E85 or pure gas. Flex fuel vehicles will always be tuned to work only OK with either fuel and not excellent on one of them. I recommend looking around at your local gas stations and seeing if there is enough(or, close enough to be comfortable with only going to one station) stations with E85 and deciding on whether to tune purely for ethanol or to tune out the ethanol capability entirely. Either way will improve both fuel economy and overall performance.

get some fuggin fireball stickers, ram air hood vents, and of coarse headlight fluid.

Nothing is cheap and easy with a Subaru

"tuning a naturally aspirated car is worthless" I dunno man, picked up ~60hp after tuning my bolted Eclipse over stock. Wouldn't say that was worthless

"i hope yall enjoyed this day, have a great video"

Somebody finally mentioned a bigger throttle body! I feel like they are so underrated. I have a short ram intake, bigger throttle and intake manifold to start out my little build. My car makes 140 from the factory and I beat turbo Audis and Jettas all day. not impressive I know but my point is they make a big difference on a relatively light car

2021 Kia Stinger GT - Injen intakes, catback , HKS plugs, JB4 tune = 500hp to the crank. Love every second of it

Another great mod is called a blinker for most people when driving it can definitely make a lot more horsepower when convenient

What about weight redution

Flowmaster, strait through pipes, perfectly legal in florida...

Was it just me of did he say " I hope you all enjoyed this day, have a great video."? hahaha

I laughed once at the word swap at the end. I laughed twice for the last second mention of it

As another person mentioned, you will need a decent set of tires and I include brakes and I'd include better, vented rotors. Especially if your putting out alot of HP. You have to be able to control your vehicle

"Cold Air Intakes" vs "Short Ram Intakes" both tend to do the same thing. Power-wise, that means little to nothing. The only reason to add one is the sound that you get. As for the exhaust, do manifold back for the most power gains, or in your case downpipe back. Adding a tune to ANY car will help your performance greatly if you get it done correctly. Don't buy a "cheap tune" from eBay, get it professionally programmed by a tuning shop. (as you did) The 55hp was from the tune, not the plugs. Just doing plugs gives you little to no extra power. It lets you keep the power you have. A larger throttle body will only help you with bigger injectors as you need more fuel to match more air. Both kinds of headers only work on N/A cars. For a turbo car, the headers are all relatively short as they only feed the turbo. Long tubes grant bigger gains all around for both ranges. Turbos and Superchargers are both awesome options. I personally prefer superchargers due to the complete lack of lag and the ease of installation/price. I much prefer the roots style instead of the centrifugal, but that is a personal preference. As for the cheap part, I don't like getting cheap products as I tend to believe that you get what you pay for on the car side of life as well as others. I'd much prefer to do the job completely and correctly once so as to not have to do it again than to use cheap parts and have to do it over alot. I don't do weight reduction myself. I like all my creature comforts and the look of the finished interior. I like finished interiors even in drag cars. To me, it's more impressive when a car can throw up a good time and keep it's nice interior. Look up hot rod drag week and you'll see a few examples of this. Mostly good advice, though I don't know how "cheap" it'll all be added up. I'd also add that it's easier to start with a standard transmission as they take less work to safely handle alot more power. Keep up the mods and good luck with the Saab.

Basically it all boils down to more air in at a faster rate + more exhaust at a faster rate = more power!!! These are some of the best mods you can do, you are essentially freeing up lost power with not much additional strain on the motor. I haven’t done much with my 9-3 yet but it did come from the factory with a tune for more boost, I like that. Before exhaust I plan suspension upgrades

Most of these done to an economy car will do almost nothing for hp but instead will improve fuel economy.

install LED lights before you throw wifie out, you will need it for weight reduction to handle the road on the get away :-)

Intake A tune Upgraded fuel injectors Exhaust system Wheels- yes good wheels can make ur car drive faster and can gain a better mpg Upgraded spark plugs Exhaust headers

THE most important is keep your tires inflated to specs. PS some of your suggestions (especially throttle body) will really screw up your electronics (especially if you have drive-by wire instead of cable) and getting a tuned compensation engine chip(s) for the beefed-up throttle is really expensive if the installer/or you only have a passing acquaintance with the programming aspect of it or how one change in the whole effects other systems.

Best car upgrade can also be a new car

9: tires and wheels 10: brakes 11: suspension

Nobody: Literally Nobody: Ricer: adds huge spoiler to car and thinks his car is faster

You can also get new fuel injectors to make sure your injectors are not as restrictive because old used ones can make your engine not as responsive

the throw out the tire comment is killing me 😂

Step 1: Don't make yourself a "cold air intake", cause it won't give you any power gains without a reprogram on a modern car. Most modern cars (year 2000+) have such sophisticately designed air intakes that you can tune the car to far more power before another air filter/air intake is needed. Step 2: If your car is a turbo car, get a 3 inch downpipe, that will get you far. Then full exhaust system when the 3 inch DP doesn't get you further. For power gains: DP, Racecat, catback, in that order. Step 3: Reprogram the ECU Step 4: Get a car with a more power, or a saab. Cause unless you drive a saab, or anything with a decent size engine and decent turbo, you won't get any gains worth mentioning from those mods.

Paint it all red!! It makes it go faster!!!

A tune will actually help alot especially if you have fbo. Like for my 350z one with a tune is alot faster than one with out one.

I was gonna comment about weight reduction. Glad I waited till the end lol.

Wow man great video dude. Love seeing content from this channel.

Are you saying my bone stock 30 year old Saab can somehow get faster? Wow. Haha, good video, keep it up!

Remove the back seats and that will increase your speed too! Lol

Haha my vehicle drove by you at 1:02 👌

"I hope you all enjoyed this day have a great video" backwards bud but good tips💢

Nice to see a KZfaqr getting back to people in the comments. Awesome video. Keep it up :)

Ok here is my sneaky list because dudes are gonna tell you the same shit, but I've done alot of research and this what I discovered, it applies to none sports cars too. 1. Light weight wheels 2. Lightweight flywheel (if manual) 4. Custom tune (or available tune) 3. Small shot of nitrous (do it right, don't go crazy and you won't blow shit up) ....number 4 is probably the most missed and underated.... 4. Transmission modifications (Final drive swap, or upgraded valve body etc, anything you can find to upgrade the transmission). Now do the math add these up and I guarantee you'll shock people. Think about a corolla with lighter wheels, I light weight flywheel, a 55shot with a custom tune combined with a higher final drive ratio. I bet that 1/4 goes from 16.8 to 14.9 you'll need better tires at this point then you'll be even a bit more faster. If you're like me you have to be smarter than everyone else, while they blow money on expensive turbos and exhaust and cold air intakes. Don't just blindly follow what everyone else is doing, go to the forums and look up modifications for your car. Almost every car made has a Sporty version of it they share better parts with for performance. Like a camry and lexus share parts, a buick and chevy share parts, nissan and infinite share parts, all your looking for is parts from a car your car shares with that was more performance based. BAM! Going fast isn't just about power its more about efficiency.

I have been in the business of making engines work at a level that they were not designed to be used for in the planning process but I am often asked my opinion on the first place to start with regards to the an ongoing process of modifications to a certain car and over the years it has changed dramatically in the reply especially since the ecu development has gone through already its 4th generation of functional features and adjustable parameters. The reply I give now is generic and works for all engines and models. Lighten the car to the point where it is still practical for the use in which you need it but it is the cheapest way to get a performance improvement from what is essentially free power. This is what our 612bhp integrale has been through for the 3rd time and it is 0.4s quicker down the strip, composite panels are used as everything is already as light as possible so this was not a cheap option by any means but the amount of chassis response is very important for the hillclimbing series that it's used in

hey man what spark plugs did you put in after you got your tune? My technician told me I had to get copper NGK's but i cant remember what model exactly

9. Polishing with Turtle Wax. 10. Adding go fast stripes.

Liked and subbed. Not only cause this was very helpful, but bc u zoomed in on ur finger comically. Nice

*GUARANTEED BEAT EVERYONE* 1. Find a traffic jam 2. Drive on the shoulder 3. Sit back and enjoy the dub for the boys😎

What happened? Did you miss an exit? I literally laughed out loud when you did that sound at 4:12 and then there was a cut in the video and it continues normally. 😂😂😂

what brand of spark plugs gave u 55hp and 67ft lbs of tourqe? ??

I own a 2013 gen 3 model 4 prius modded just for fun. I enjoy driving but as a student a prius save me ton of gas money for the mod. I am planning to lift it for off reading it or lowering it for the street look. I know a prius is slow and many prius owner aren't car person. That is why I am doing something other don't do.

Hi, loving your videos so far, i am too considering a saab but i'm still doing my research about it. Everything that is quirky about it makes me love it more, to me the saab has got a soul, it has character, not just some boring corolla. A suggestion is to have your videos with lists to have video timelines in the description and big letters detailing the number in the video. the reason i say this is that so that people can skip parts that don't apply to them. If I do end up with one, I wonder if we can do a Saab meet =)

55 HP and 60 tq from spark plugs what plugs are you using my mechanic says my plugs glow

You said cold air 🤔 so the cars are faster in winter

It is fully legal in Kentucky, and in an older truck like my own, the cats don't affect the engine much. I've deleted most of the emissions control units in my truck and it's freed up probably 10-15 hp just from deletes

One of the most helpful videos out there. I have a 2020 Honda Fit and I wanna do some things to it, don't know where to start.

Just finished this video. I love the ending ha ha Ha

Let's not forget to change the flux capacitor!

played that outro speach like 5 times, thought i was that sleepy. turns out he really said it. "Enjoy this day, have a great video" lmao! did anyone else notice?

Light weight flywheels help a lot with acceleration too no power added but you will notice a change in how quick your car is

The "cold air intake" doesn't do much maybe 1-2hp and you run the risk of hydrolocking your engine. The short ram air actually looses power.

great video man if i keep my car what fo u suggest

Going to do all these mods to my UK 2006 Mitsubishi lancer sport, nice one

SUN DEVIL PRIDE AYYYEEEEE

Cat back exhaust does nothing for performance with these cars. The company's will tell you 10hp gain... what has to be done is 3" down from the turbo to open up the top end. Then a high flow cat to the cat back exhaust of your choice in size. Headers or runners are not needed until 450-500 hp...

I need to know where you bought the spark plugs that gave you 55 HP. I want some on my turbo diesel engine.

Removing carpet, for the painted floor idea, ..using the metal and or racing seats for the weight saving, maybe selling the originals to a scrap yard, if guaranteed enough of a return, possibly covering all to most of the expense for that, ..maybe, for sure, trying the acetone idea, ..

One thing to keep in mind with superchargers is that they give you immediate torque where as with turbos you have to wait for them to spool, that's why such things as twincharging exist which involve both turbos and superchargers or if your not into twincharging go for a Bi-turbo setup....

None of these are cheap mods... Cat backs can run up to a grand, tuning costs a shit ton if done in a reputable shop, the intake is cheapish i guess..but can still be 2-300 bucks and headers cost even more than the catback

You, living in Arizona, most likely knowing the Phoenix traffic, would you not recommend a manual transmission?

Stripping even just 100lb out of a car like a Mini Cooper or MR2 that weight 2000 pounds is going to be much more effective compared to pulling it out of a big 4500lb truck that's all torque. The money side of things can be huge though; keep in mind that carbon fiber exists. Some people will spend thousands just to replace their metal doors for partially carboned ones. Fiberglass weighs more than carbon fiber as well.

If u use a higher flowing cat ur reducing back pressure which is going to reduce power but it will sound better.

1:40 hidden fart good cover ill use that1

can you tell me who did your tune for your Saab? I was looking at jzw tuning.

The cheapest weight reduction mod. Clean out the junk in the trunk. People spend hundreds of dollars on carbon fiber parts and then roll around with their freaking laundy, tools, old parts and pamphlets in the boot.

Great video looking forward to more man.

You say you live in Arizona, how in the hell is it a "cold air" intake, if its 115 degrees outside!! How's that possible to have cold-air for your engine?? And as for headers, long tube headers are for torque, short headers are good for horsepower "high-end RPM"!! And for turbocharged, that's more for torque versus a blower, (supercharged) is for high-end power!!!!!!!!! Why do you think people with a tin-can Japan car ("Honda") Turbo Charge It??, because it lacks torque, plenty of it!!!!!!!!!! One more last thing, anybody that is a car person (Car Guy), mechanic, Motorhead etc. or actually knows about cars would agree with this statement; "HORSEPOWER IS FOR SHOW TORQUE IS FOR GO"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrap your car red Everyone knows red cars are faster and ads 300hp😸

i used a drill bit buffer adapter that lets you change diffrent buff wheels i swapped it for low grit sand paper bored out both ends of the throttle body and plentium then wet and dryed it smooth and shiney. then carefuly wet and dryed my fuel rail and after painting them all in ceramic high temp paint it incresed airflow and kept air temps down so when i advanced my dizzy it could handle high revs with a smooth band of torque to match

Fucking awesome video dude. Next, upgrade the engine block and get forged pistons 🤣😂

I'm 17 and I live in england. I own a 1.5 with turbo Nissan juke. (Nissan joke) I wanted to make this into a sleeper (looks slow but is quick) How would I do this but with keeping the insurance costs down?

I knew he was in Arizona because of the palo verde trees lining the freeways 😂 also at 4:11 that is me every single day because Arizona driver are the worst drivers in the world

throttle body, cat back cold air intake etc is not cheap, the best way to increase power is to mill the head for compression and do a cam swap yeah it costs money but speed aint cheap, but you are right about junking the cast iron exhaust manifold, for a well known headder company if your just dragging, the other way is a nitro bottle but if you do it wrong you can blow the motor, turbo plumbing is expensive and the maintanence is high, the super charger takes horse power to run but if you get more then stock HP, your ahead of the game

5:20 turbochrgers actualy use not flow but pressure at the exhaust so the pistons have to push harder to get that pressure. So it gets torque from the crank just like the supercharger.

Contrary to popular belief, factory cats on a naturally aspirated engine are the most ideal cat for the car. Your engine is mechanically designed to utilize the back pressure which the exhaust gives. Unless your internal engine parts have been improved or you've gone with a turbo, CATS ARE GOOD!Unless your car has secondary cats which do not have sensors behind them, they can go. I have a Mercedes with secondary cats for extra clean emissions and I did feel gains in torque after removing them. But i still have the main sets of cats as well as factory muffler and resonator. Every vehicle that I have removed or modified the cats have been significantly down on power, even decent sized exhaust leaks before the cats dramatically impact your torque/power curve for the worst. So make sure you keep your main set of cats, secondaries are the exception. Air intakes can improve hp/tq up to 25 numbers, but if your intake is in your engine bay, and not near an opening in the front end, it will not get any "cold" air. The only benefit is the flow of air and volume of air.

1. Put an exhaust (loud means faster) 2. Stickers(+5 horsepower

Go faster stripes baby!!! LOL

1. Mudguards 2. Mudguards 3. Mudguards 4. Mudguards 5. Mudguards 6. Mudguards 7. Mudguards 8. Mudguards

Tuning the car makes huge differences for NA cars. If you've ever raced a tuned Honda Integra vs a non tuned, it's like a world of differences. It starts beating Nissan Silvias with ease.

What are the safest ways to add hp without damaging the engine? Like a cold air intake

I actually just stripped out my car. I'm getting new seats and harness then stripping out the rest of the front of the car. I pulled out around 100 pounds from the back.

Your introduction to the video is awesome

Don't forget about fuel filter and fuel pump fuel pressure in a old fuel injected car is essential had a Toyota Camry that my sister said was slow and would always fall on its face on the highway I put spark plugs fuel filter in it and now it blows the tires off in first and chirps in second and it's an automatic

Got a 07 charger rt 5.7 hemi and acceleration is good when im at a stop but when im going 65 and want to go faster i dont feel the car pull and accelerate and my rpms dont go as high up as i expect it. Any tips on whats wrong with my car?

all video long i've been waiting for a great day to watch.

I've heard that on newer vehicles that a lot of these suggestions are a waste of money. I had a '14 Mustang GT and that CAIs are mainly marketing scams since the intake system is already optimized. Same with the throttle body, you really gotta do your research because bigger diameter doesn't always mean more power. Also the same for exhaust. Some people claim that, for example, axle backs add no power. Others say you get a very small but noticeable gain.
