    Most of what I posted are "breathing" mods. Your engine can exhale better but it has to inhale before exhaling.

    Changing the muffler with a freeflow version will help increase power but you have to match it with intake upgrade too.

    you said match it with proper engine inhaling, is the K&N intake upgrade enough? or do i have to go for a CAI upgrade?

    for the meantime, a simple K&N cone intake will do for the intake.
