Okay I have a 2003 Altima 2.5L and I need some help deciding what I should mod performance wise to get the most bang out of the four cylinders...

should I get cold air intake?headers and dual exhaust?racing crank pulley?

Any recommendations would help a lot! Thanks!

Best bang for your buck is a small shot of nitrous (50 shot). $500 - 50 hp

A header helps. An inline 4 cylinder doesn't have header"s". $300 - 5 hp at peak rpm.

A cold air intake helps. $250 - 2-3 hp at peak rpm.

Dual exhaust...put down the Super Street magazine and get an Apexi exhaust. Flows good while still being moderately quiet. Emphasis on single canister exhaust. $500 2-3 hp at peak rpm.

Skip the crank pulley. It is a harmonic balancer and a decent one will run $500+, not the cheap ebay crap you can find anywhere.
