Default acceleration

i have a 99 GS and was wondering if there were anyways to get the acceleration to go a little faster and get more punch when i take off. since its only a GS is it even possible to make it faster.

Yeah, there really isn't anything to make an N/A more powerful without spending a good bit of money. You can do the common things like a CAI (not a RAM) and an aftermarket exhaust. Just remember that an N/A needs backpressure and too much of it lost can cause negative performance.

so what about like an exhaust kit. maybe a short ram intake or cold air and a new exhaust tip/muffler.

no, he said no ram air... all that'll do is suck hot air into your system... an exhaust tip wont do **** for ya... so if you wanna go all out, get a cold air intake, headers, and a catback exhaust, thats about all you can do

Yes, the lamest...

You can spend all that cash.... when you can simply get a GST or GSX and be much quicker
