The only one that I have done is the Free Ram Air mod. It was the only one I felt would make a difference.

Yea, I wouldn't do any of them. The only good sounding one is the FRA (free ram air mod) which causes the air filter to get dirty very fast and has little gain.

not that it's exactly free...cost a couple bucks...but the TB bypass is typically a proven logical mod.

seems i've seen a couple dyno runs to prove that it was worth a few ponies...

Yeah, the TB bypass made a diff at the dyno for me. I have not descreened the MAF or done the Free Ram Air because of people reporting problems. You can find the parts easy for the coolant bypass, or they are on ebay for like $9 if you want it easy.

If you have the tools, and think that "every little bit counts" then these are the mods for you.

I did the free ram air, throttle body bypass, and I just recently ported my MAF. Will be porting my throttle body next week.

None of these mods make a noticable difference. You'll see maybe 5-10 hp from all the free mods put together. *shrug* I just like working on my car.
