Default Performance Parts?

Does anyone make performance parts for a 2005 Outlander AWD 5 speed? I don't really mean stuff to make it faster. Maybe some poly bushings/engine and trans mounts, short shift kit, that kind of thing? Google is giving me no luck.

Forgot to mention I'm in Canada so somewhere that ships from Canada or US would be ideal.

'performance parts' that dont increase a vehicles performance. Interesting concept.
Nolathane for bushings.
Custom short throw.

Maybe instead of saying I'm not looking for parts that "make it faster" I should've said I'm not looking for parts that give it more power. Not overly interested in power mods.

i have not found much, i did scoup up an intake for a lancer, bolted right up, in the spring ill pull my throttle body and give it a port and polish



now that air was coming in better i added a magna flow street performance with 3" stainless axle back






overall i am very happy. i have seen in increase in my MPG about 4-5 miles on highway and around 3 city. has a nice sound to it, not too rice, and can be dead silent if i want... but my fav part is throttle response. it picks up and moves much better now i am not worried about merging on the highway any longer... my seat of the pants dyno difference is night and day. very pleased overall

Yes, thank you.

The point is that I know getting more power out of a car usually makes no financial sense especially since in my area power mods means no insurance company will cover your car.

Most of my suspension, bushings, etc are worn out so I figured if I'm going to replace it anyway, why not upgrade and get a bit better handling, shifter feel, driveability, etc?

Even if I could up the power the thing would need a gearing change. First gear is so short it's practically useless except just to get the car going and then 5th is also too short. Just casually cruising to work this thing is over 4k RPM on the highway at 140 kph. It would just be more noticeable with more power. Gearing change would be too expensive to be worthwhile.

If I wanted a faster/more powerful car I would've just bought a faster car.

JRK5892, thanks for your contribution, anyway.
