Plenty, as long as you're willing to spend a little money, . Search for a thread called " Post your mods" and you'll see some examples.

On a serious note, I call BS if you said you couldn't find anything. I think you're just too damn lazy to actually search. Here are a couple fine examples of the 62 threads found in the 1st gen forums with the search string "Post your mods":

^ Krayzie, get this in your head: the C35 swap is NOT a drop in. There are quite a few things to do to get it running properly. If it were a drop in, I wouldn't have had to work 12+ hours a day for 6 days to get it running.

^^ @mkt, are you fucking serious? You didn't search for shit, and if you had clicked the two links I provided, you'd see that there are ALOT more options than just an intake. I'm not going to argue with you, m8. Just remember that there are other options, as long as you are willing to spend the money. For example, I have (on the C32 motor) a lightened crank pulley. It's a 20% size reduction and 75% weight reduction. Does anyone else have one? No. Does it mean that it doesn't exist? Obviously not.

~Cheers~

Your best bet is to make it yourself, well, have someone make it for you. Air intakes are very common as I'm sure you've found, and there was a thread discussing the various brands available. I have a Weapon R Secret Weapon personally, and I find that to be one of the best. The filter can be improved (filtration, not flow) but it's of an excellent design. Exhausts have to be custom made, unless you want to import one from Japan and a very high cost. Those are just some of the basics, as you can get headers from OBX, high-flow cats, nitrous (cheating), and others.

~Cheers~

NOS....

and why is it considered cheating??? i never understood this at all... it is just another performance mod that is cheap and quick HP.... IMO if u think that NOS is cheating, then so is any other mod that gives up your horsepower???

if i pay $500 for 100 shot Nitrous kit -vs- a $4000 Comptech SC kit for my 3rd gen TL....

it is not cheating... it is smart...

I don't know, I just never really liked it, I guess... Especially ever since F&F made it NAW~~~ZZZ. Personally, I like more of a challenge, as in, more work involved so that the end result is a bit more gratifying.
