offends,
you need to look for an adjustable kit. After installing a system, you will
notice a performance increase and also a slight improvement in fuel economy
due to the decrease in backpressure. As a bonus, most aftermarket performance
exhaust systems come with more aggressive-looking exhaust tips.
Cold Air Induction
Now that we have an efficient means of getting the spent gasses
out of the engine, the air intake system can be modified for increased flow.
Perhaps the most effective forced air induction uses the front license plate
area as the entry point for the fresh air. The one problem is that many
states require a front license plate. So the best option is to go with one of
the systems that picks up the cooler outside from under the car, which is how
most of the available systems operate. This modification is good for a couple
of extra horsepower, or even more in combination with a performance exhaust
system. In fact, it doesnt make much sense to add a fresh air kit if youre
not modifying the exhaust because the extra air does no good if you cant
get it out.
Larger Throttle Body
Once you have your fresh air intake system installed, the next
modification to consider is a larger throttle body. Adding a performance throttle
body allows more air to pass into the intake, therefore the engine has the capability
to make more power. But remember, bigger is not necessarily better in this case,
so dont go overboard. If your engine is stock on the inside, dont
go any larger than a 52mm. Using

the performance cat-back system from Power
Effects, you can "tune" your exhaust to control flow and back
pressure to tune the performance and sound to your own personal tastes.

Forced Air Induction Kits ( for both 1985-89
and 1990-96
models) from Zip Products pulls cooler air from the front of a C4 to increase
the oxygen intake for an added power boost.
