Forgot one -

Adding a fake Blow off valve to your exhaust tip - instant 150hp

I knew a kid (I no longer talk to) that though his coffee can and "cold" air intake on his '89 Prelude added about 50 HP. He tried to say he had a dyno sheet to prove it, i asked him to show me it and he said he lost it.

Im not sure if any of you have wasted your time watching this show but this morning i did and that is only because they had some mustangs in it racing aganst the ricers. any way this guy on there with a tipical ricer car has i would say about 40000 + into an old integra and all knids of engine mods but what do you see for a CAI or Rice pipe a pipe with a filter and no heat sheld or box what so ever and it even looked like one of those aem pipes so its possible the crappiest filter on the market and preathing realy warm air

Not sure about that, but I have seen ones to replicate a turbo. Its essentially a deer whistler thingy that people can hear.
