You should try searching there are plenty of threads that tell you how hard it is to make any power with the ka without turbo.. its just not a great motor for NA builds... you will barely see any gains with exhaust and intake....

the amount of money you spend on it will be more than what you gain in terms of performance. pretty much anything you do to it without turbo it'll only increase it maybe 5 hp if that.

i mean you might "feel" like you are going faster cause the car now is louder but you're still gonna be slow as heck.

my car saw little gains with just a catback.

but once the "racing headers" were installed, HOLY CRAP! the car easily doubled in hp. i dont know why people go turbo.

quality and fitment were 100%. look up SS Autochrome. they are the best part i have on my car. and to think i wasted all my other money on suspension and handling mods... ugh, if only i could do it over again...

and/or

i have a bone stock KADE w/ oem exhaust. you will see NO power from a catback. or "racing headers". what a waste of $/hp.
