"Free Mods"...

What exactly are all the "free mods"? Just curious. Heard people say that's all they have, but what does that include. Sorry if it's a dumb question. Just wonderin.

The only "free mod" that seems to be accepted across the board is the Throttle Body Bypass. Another one is descreening your MAF, as well as porting/polishing it--although you'd probably be safer off leaving that alone. Not worth it in my opinion. For the record I have descreened/ported/polished mine with no ill effects, but I'd feel better if I would have just left it alone.

agreed. the only thing id do is the TB bypass and removing the spare tire hehe. Cuz with the rims stuff i have, the spare wont do anything for me. Actually i have the free ram air and it definetly helps.

All the others wont give u any or barely any gains if anything.
