Firts time poster...Difference between exhaust and Intake?

[D-schenks3]

Hey guys I’ve been reading on this forum for about a half a year and have learned alot about cars and the a/c. Previously knowing nothing about cars this has been a great help. Anyways this is my first time writing on the forum and I am most likly going to pre order a 2.5 manual in march so I can have it at the beginning of may when im back home. Even though I would obviously like the 270 hp of the 3.5 my financial situation as a college student is not realistic to do that. Any ways do u guys think it would be worth me looking into say an exhaust or air intake for a 2.5? I’m personally looking for a nice growl and alil boost of power if I could. What are your opinions about what would be the best way to add the growl and hopefully the boost of hp for a 2.5s and the if you could write about the differences of the two. Thanks guys.

Hum..if you want growl from a 2.5S, the intake won't cut it. Since the 2.5S has a raspier tone you'll have to change the resonator and possibly invest in a new catback exhaust system.

Instead of taking a 2.5S with a package, why don't you just take a 3.5SE 6MT bare minimum. you can add the after market leather seats , NAV or HIDs later if you want, it'll cost you a lot less than the nissan packages and you'll HAVE the delicious VQ engine, which Is a lot loss trouble than an engine swap if you get the 2.5S. You'll thank yourself every day

Thanks, that would really suck if there arent really any other options other then getting the 3.5 becaue i would love that thrill when i drive.
