Well guys I think i'm going to put some more money in the Alero..
Once I fix my other window and I'd really like to replace my fog lights (Their broken) and the plastic undernearth my bumper I'd like to rip off.
Doctorspeed Ram Air Intake
130.00
MSD Wires
65.00
Bosch Plugs
42.00
Pacesetter Headers (Black)
163.00
Magnaflow Exhaust system Cat&Muffler w/tip
300.00

Sub total of $$700.00
So not to bad.. good solid upgrades for my everday driver.
So far the only things I have done to my Car are my wheels (1250$$) and window tint (160$$) My brake system (500$$) and fixed window (200$$) One more window to fix! and maybe some fog lights and we'll be good!

..hey... thought our cars didnt have wires! interesting!!


but headers and cat back exhaust is what i would like myself..im not doing many performance mods at all. (now that finally, 4 years later, im actually modding it!)

dont get bosch plugs and pacesetter doesnt make 3400 headers. s&s does though and they will cost 4 times the price you have listed.

So how much Horsepower do you think I will get with..
Ram Air Intake (Doctorspeed) 130.00$$ one
Plugs
Magnaflow Exhaust System (Cat&Muffler w/tip)
So really I'd only spend like 430 bucks witch would be nice.
Big question you know the plastic piece under your front bumper
If I take that off will it affect anything?
Because one side of mine is messed up and looks crappy and both of my Fog Lights are busted (I bought the car used) so I need to replace them. Should I go aftermarket and find some nice clean ones that will go in their place or keep it OEM?

plugs really wont make that big of a difference. you have to be heavily modified to notice them. from intake and exhaust i think 8-10whp is a reasonable expectation. i gained 15whp from 2.25" exhaust, short ram intake (wai), ported manifolds, dhp pcm and a blown head gasket (lol).

the type of plugs you get depend on the year of your car, mine came factory with ngk iridiums, i changed up to denso iridiums, i will have a set of tog headers for sale in a couple of months, they are cerami caoted and header wrapped. i will be asking 500.00.
