Right now mines is fully stock and I can fully tell how restricted the motor is.
If your expecting performance, your going to be upset when you bolt the intake and exhaust on Like said above you might get 20 hp

250 and performance dont belong in the same line.

Was only suggesting those 2 little mods for a little bit of noise

Heck, I haven't even installed it yet. I hardly DRIVE the car. So the answer is a fat NEVER.

Then don't put it under the hood, just bring it with you pretend that it is your F-Sport (Coach) purse

No! Intake was the FIRST thing I put in my car and I haven't regretted it once (and I drive a 250). No ones knows it's there, but I didnt buy it to impress anyone and I know it's there. If you wanted it and you enjoy it, you keep it!

Plus i heart the low rumble @ 3k-4k RPMs.

Go with the F-Sport intake for being CARB legal and sound. I wish I went that route .
