Any simple modification can increase torque or power?

This should be about right: Cold air intake,8hp. Soon to come RES, 13 and MM2, maybe 10, flow thru mufflers, 3. Headers cost so much I don't fool with them plus below redline we flow pretty good stock. So your 225 grows to 259 (approx).

not even close. :p

Plus you just can't add HP since most of the time the max HP is the only one advertise and it could happen at different points in the RPM. Plus you also have the factor of mods working together. Another thing is HP at the wheels and at the fly wheel. Plus none of the numbers are right.

You go through all that mod troubles just to get your TL up to 259 hp? Why not just get a stock 02 or 03 TL-S which already has 260 hp.:p Better yet, wait for the redesign 04 TL-S. I hear they are making it 280 hp and possibly rear wheel drive.

If money isn't a real problem, buy all 3 (intake, headers, and exhaust). But if it's, just buy intake and exhaust, or adjust on how much money you have. Headers and exhaust probably give you the most power, and intake...well it just addes a lil' more acceleration while giving you a little higher rpm's PLUS it sounds cool. :p

exhaust adds basically nothing...
intake and headers would yield the highest gains
