Will small mods hurtmy engine

Hi i recently purchased a K&N short ram intake and was looking at getting GReddy exhaust cat back system and Greddy pulleys. Will these mods hurt my engine at all or will they be fine after installation? Also if they wont hurt my car will I get good power upgrades out of these? Thanks

You will get next to nothing as far as power goes (nothing that you will feel) but atleast your engine will breath a little better. Also make sure you have the 2nd version of the k&n intake, not the first. People were experiencing hp loss withe the first version.

I know there was something wrong with the first K&N intake that came out for the 8, but I'm not sure what it was... so just make sure you got the latest version. But no, small mods will not hurt your engine.
You will gain some power, but nothing that you will be able to notice.
