How to improve to 0 - 60?

Will The chips give a significant improvement to 0-60 run? What else than chips?

Any input would be much appreciated

Was going to go with DP, but my warranty will be all voided if they ever find out. For the chips/Intake I would be lil careless cuz can take it off in few minutes, but DP will be the pain in the ass one

For exhaust it would be my last resort IF I ever gonna get one.. the price tag is too much for me atm..

Chip + intake will be my best bet for now, will they help alot for 0-60 tho? Consider it without exhaust and DP?

the intake will/will not do much, me personally i got my intake last. the first thing i would do (and what i did to my car) was the chip + down pipe. I spoke with the service rep and he said the only time they void your warranty is when the issue is traced back to your modification. exhaust will be expensive for the full system, which in my opinion is the best way to go... i would look on owner classifieds also found on this forum and see what people are selling... if you look around and wait a little you can find very good parts for cheap. from my opinion, i would do the chip + down pipe, exhaust, and last intake... the major gains are in the chip and down pipe

Thx for the info bro!

Exhaust will be out of the pic in my case, cuz theyre so expensive i wanted to do muffler delete once, but still not sure about the result, some say itll sound horrible, some of em said itll be great haha

Yeah i was thinking to get the chip + DP too, to be honest kinda scared with the warranty void haha.. and yes im waiting for the great deal for both those parts, but idk if its safe to buy from this forum, cuz ive never done any transaction here.

Accurate numbers are:
+32 hp
+60 lb-ft

Mod Bargains sells the intake for $30 cheaper than what's listed on the aFe website
