Best Mods for performance w/out too much $$

What would you say is the best mod to a 99 TL without breaking the bank. I am not as interested in looks (although important) as I am in more HP. Drives me nutz that the type-S is the same motor. Would like to get a little more power out of my regular TL. Any suggestions?

cheapest mod with decent power is an intake giving tops 15hp

if you want more, a grand will get you comptech headers,... 500 i believe for OBX with about 20-25HP gain

best HP per dollar is headers.

my OBX SS headers costed me $300 and $100 for installation.

As for intakes....I probably wouldn't do it again if I had a chance to get my money back.

Hey, where did you have them installed? Just curious about who does that kind of work. How much HP did you think it added?

Also, where did you get the headers from? Not having too much luck finding on the web.

any qualified garage mechanic can do this for you. HP gains are supposedly around 25 WHP. See Comptech's website for dyno details.
