Need advice on performance mods.
Hey, I have a 2004 350z and it has 19,000 miles on it. I want to add 25-35 horsepower to the wheels. I would like to spend between $1500-$3000. I was thinking of putting on an intake, exhaust, and headers. But, I don't know which type or brand is better. I also don't want to spend $1500 on exhaust if a 350 flywheel will give me a better result. I love cars and know a lot about specs. and models but when it comes to modifying cars I'm lost. I have tried to research it but there is so much out there and I have know clue if it's a quality product. If you could help me make a decision I would appreciate it.

For intake, exhaust, or headers? I would stay away from headers for the first mods as they dont produce a whole ton of HP for the $. The install alone normally runs around $400-500

so you guys know:
A 350Z stock has 287 hp.
1. Intake 299 hp>>>you gain 12hp $200.00
2. Exhaust 319 hp>>>you gain 20hp $800.00
3. Pulley 334 hp>>>you gain 15hp $200.00
4. headers 344 hp>>>you gain 10hp $500.00
5. flywheel/clutch 369 hp>>> you gain 25hp. $not sure.
Safely under 2k you get over 50 hp, however, you got to install these yourself.

Second, once you start combining mods you dont get that kind of hp from each mod. They work together to make the hp. Some dont always work well with others and can cause worse gains than others. Third, you are listing crank hp which no one goes by when saying how much power a mod adds. People measure hp by what it puts down at the wheels. Also a clutch/flywheel and or gears dont make hp. It just makes you feel as if you have gained it.
