Help me out!

hey guys, just got my red 05 MT RX-8 about a week ago. I was wondering about some mods, specifically an AEM cold air intake and a greddy exhaust, realistically how much gain in performance can I expect from these two mods?
Thanks, Ilivefor8's

I agree the OP is a noob for not searching and all but recommending the turbonater isn't going to help anyone or do anything but get a cheap laugh. At least tell the guy to search without posting something so useless.

Oh please. Asking for n00bs to search (a useless post if I have ever read one), that is pretty much all I ever have done. Look where it has gotten us. Nowherz.

Now, getting a n00b to wonder what the turbonator is all about, now that is gold, baby.

Great call, BTW, on the turbonator ad.

Welcome to the forum.
You should start out by reading through the stickies at the top of this section and in the horsepower sub forum
