Default A Place to Start

I recently purchased an 08 tiburon GS and im looking to get some more power out of my engine. Ive read up a little bit on headers, intakes, exhausts, ect, but im a little bit lost because i dont know that much about this kind of thing. Basically what im wondering is which upgrade would give the most dramatic increase in performance for a reasonable price.

Seriously, get a turbo kit. Headers, or an exhaust alone (or even together) will give you minimal improvement. Power is not cheep. If you want a noticable increase, I'd get a turbo kit that includes a header and exhaust.

hah, a turbo kit would be awesome but thats not exactly in the cards right now. I probably should have specified when I said "reasonable."
i know exhausts and intakes wont give me much but im not looking to go race my car, i just want to tweak it and make it a little more fun to drive.

edit: a friend of mine seem to think i should start with a cold air intake..do you know of any websites that sell quality ones?

In all honesty, none of those will make a signifigant difference. You're looking at 3-5 hp at most.

As for intakes, Injen makes a quality CAI and SRI. Best out there.

im having a hard time finding intakes for my year...is it possible to make the injen intakes for 06's fit my 08?

i found these two but they both seem like they might be junk. any opinions?

edit: i just stumbled upon some information on newtiburon.com stating that any CAI made for the 03-06 V6 will work on the 07-08 I4, so that opens up alot of doors, including injen and AEM

Go with the Injen. AEM = CRAP
