Ok, before i start i know i didnt but a sports car but i would like alittle more power without having to add a supercharger or a hemi swap.

If i get a intake, throttle body spacer, and a cat back exhaust will i gain anything other then a bill and louder exhaust?

Ive seen this and other questions like this posted before and discussed. It seems most people on here will tell you to swap your gears for the most performance gain.

If you do ALL that plus add a reprogrammer you might be able to feel the difference. You'd also be over $100 per horsepower added.

I really like the sound of a deeper exhaust

Superchips man...Superchips.

I had an AirAid Throttle Body Space in my TJ....Couldn't tell.

If you get a Superchips Flashpaq, you can add some power, adjust for better fuel economy if you want, and best of all (IMO) correct for those 35's and 4.88's. That way your speedo and Odometer are correct and you won't have to add a speeding ticket to the list of "Jeep Costs". I used to have 35's on my TJ and they didn't make a programmer for the "Mighty 2.5L" so it was pretty much a guessing game as to how fast I was going (or is that "wasn't going".... I guess with 35's on a 4-banger, speed wasn't really my problem, it was my dream)

I've got the CAI...I've got the Exhaust...I've got the programmer...Trust me, Program first, then bolt on later.

Roger..

Didn't see that in your profile so I figured I'd throw it out there. Honestly though, I didn't notice anything more than the "poor-mans-Turbo whistle" when I added my TBS to my TJ. It was grooved to give the same effect as the Tornado. I haven't run one of these specifically but from what I've seen out there, it's a pet rock.
