Question Next "Light" mod I should make.

Hey guys,

As my sig states, I've got a 2007 touring with nismo intake and exhaust.
I'm looking into which "light" horsepower mod to make next. By light I mean something that isn't too extreme (which I know is subject to opinion, but bear with me). Supercharger/Turbo is too hardcore for me right now. Testpipes are superloud and make you fail smog in so cal, iirc. So are there any options left for me?

the nismo intakes were a bit in the oposite direction as far as power, but go with some high flow cats, and perhaps a reflash.

You could also do headers along with a reflash since it doesn't increase noise almsot at all and gains nice hp. Depends how much money you want to spend....

This is an HR. No plenum spacers or mrev2 have applications for the HR engine.

It's ok, you're from Irvine. It's understandable, I lived there for 15 years.

Get some high flow cats! I have sound clips if you want to hear how they sound with the Nismo exhaust.
