Question What is OEM?

I am new to this but can someone tell me what does OEM and other abbreviations stand for throughout this board? Snook, how much are you selling the WW kit for and do you know where I can get it molded and put on?

OEM = original equipment manufacturer, i.e. - "stock'

mod = modification

CAI = cold air induction, i.e. - draws cold air into combustion chamber so that fuel/air mix burns better for more HP. Cot to be confused w/ simple induction mod such as filter charger or short ram that serve onlt to improve airflow, but not to deliver cooler air.

I/H/E = intake + headers + exhaust, i.e. - all 3 have been modified from OEM for increased performance

cat = catalytic converter

ECM = engine control module, i.e. - the brain of the engine

headers = exhaust manifold, better than OEM system in that they are tuned and generally have runners all the same length as opposed to whatever was easiest to manufacture and install

coilovers = struts + springs as a single unit, improved handling over OEM

That's all I can remember for now, but I'm sure there's more...
