Exotic Car

Alright, so you’ve got the best car and the best accessories money can buy and your car looks great, but what about power, muscle, speed? Like money, you can never have enough power, so it’s time to upgrade your engine’s horsepower. This might sound like an expensive addition, but it doesn’t have to be. There are several ways to amp up the power of your vehicle without spending an arm and a leg. Just check out my suggestions below and you’ll find a wide range of prices that fit your budget.

1. Cold air intake. Upgrading with an aftermarket air intake system
is an incredibly easy, cheap and effective way to boost horsepower. It is probably the most common do-it-yourself modification. The kit is simply a bolt on air filter attached to a metal pipe. Once installed, your engine will be receiving cooler air, which is denser than warm air. In effect, there will be a much more powerful combustion when the air is combined with fuel. In general, you can get an aftermarket cold air intake kit in the price range of $100 to $450.

2. Performance Exhaust. This is another extremely easy and popular way to give your engine more horsepower. Aftermarket exhaust systems are equipped with much larger exhaust pipes which give your engine better output and fuel economy because the flow rate increases with the larger pipe diameter. A compete exhaust system is equipped with a muffler, pips, and exhaust headers and in general should cost between $400 and $1000.

3. Turbocharger. Turbocharger and supercharger systems compress air and feed it to your engine, resulting in more oxygen dense air to mix with the fuel. This combination increases output and ultimately gives your engine a lot more power. With a turbocharger or supercharger system, you can add up to 100 horsepower from you stock capabilities. In general, turbo and super kits aren’t cheap, they will cost anywhere between $2000 and $10,000.

It’s easy to get sidetracked with the outward appearance of your car and forget about performance and power. But if you really want to show off and impress your friends, then you’ve got to amp up your engine capabilities. And there really isn’t any better way than by giving your car or truck some more horsepower. If you’re new to modification, then start off small with a new cold air intake system. Once you get used to the new feel then continue with bigger, better upgrades.
