Could I tell a difference?

If I put new performance spark plugs and spark plug wires on my...until I get the money to have my motor rebuilt like I want it. Or should I just buy a new air intake and what kind.

Oh yeah...does the air intake effect the sound of the exhaust. I just help my friend put a intake on his truck and it actually made it alittle louder. I was wondering becasue I just have a straight pipe in place of cat and a flowmaster catback. I dont wanna make it any louder.

Re: Could I tell a difference?

Unless you're current plugs and wires are complete garbage you will notice no difference with the "high performance" plugs/wires. Any gains would be very minimal- especially on a stock motor. Now if your wires are shot and the gapping is all screwed up on the plugs you will notice it runs better with "any" new plugs/wires.

You may "notice" a tiny increase in power with the intake though even that is debatable from what I've heard. It's normally the type of mod that works with other mods to provide a bigger synergistic gain. It could make things a little louder. More air entering the intake = more air out the exhaust system.

Not really unless the car was running like crap before.

The aftermarket intake won't effect the exhaust, but it will be noticably louder on its own.
