need more power

[Shawn-dizzie]

I nedd to get some more power without spending a whole lot of money what i sthe easiest way to gain some power. I am already going to put a new exhaust on it what else can i do? also what type of exhaust do you guys recomend. i am looking for a muscle car sound.

[97cavalier]

what car is this on? and what motor? you usaly start with exhaust and intake. A good exhaust for any v6 is magnaflow. And if you have a v8 magnaflow sounds good if you have headers, otherwise it is to quite.

its a 1987 trans am with a 350. 5.7 L all stock except a k&n air filter. like i said i want a deep mean roar.

[97cavalier]

well lfowmaster has a good sound but do not flow very well. I would put some headers on with a magnaflow cat back. that will sound real good. Also do a coustome cold air intake. I would also get a tb spacer cheep hp gain, so is the intake.

[Shawn-dizzie]

A waste of money.

[Shawn-dizzie]

well what is one though?just curious

[ikeyballz]

if its anything liek a carb spacer, it just lifts the throttle body so its supposed to speed up the air/gas..so it goes into the cylinders faster.. (i think?)

I have Flowmasters on my Firebird (V6). It makes my car sound likes it has a V8...it sounds real mean...

I recommend Flowmaster or SLP Loudmouth...

[Mr. Luos]

I recommend nothing but Magnaflow. At least when it comes to the lesser priced set-ups.

[97cavalier]

a throttle body spacer (tb spacer) is used it makes the tb cooler by spacing it and makes more power somehow. they only makes about 5hp diffrence. Would not spend over 25-30$ on one.

[wrightz28]

Cooler air is more dense and provides for better combustion.

[Mr. Luos]

I want to know how it makes the TB cooler?
