none of these mods will bring significant power a midpipe will give you the most power but still not significant

AEM CAI, Borla, BHR Midpipe.

Header,, meh. pick one.

Together you might get about 10HP +/- at the wheels.

Cobb Accessport will be a very wise investment.
And the BHR Ignition coils. With the Cobb AP should get you another 10HP. +/-

But with all of the above you might get 10HP +/- period. If your lucky.
Peoples cars seem to react differently with modifications than others.

If you want power and money is not an issue. Get a Turbo or a Supercharger. Or get a Nitrous kit.

Should get it tuned for it though..

THANX MAN I THINK I WILL GO WITH HKS LEGAMAX OR THE BORLA FOR THE EXHAUST AND AEM CAI cobb ap bhr ignition coil AND midpipe
and i might go with the supercharge oR the turbocharge LATER but about the nitro i dont think so

still not sure about the CAI AEM OR K&N :p

For intakes do yourself a favor and either

1. stick with the stock intake and a K&N panel filter.
2. AEM CAI
3. Racing Beat Intake + Ram air duct.

SRI intakes are for sound and hotter intake air temps.

Or mate an RB duct to your stock intake and add a K&N flat filter (removing VFAD).

^+1 Best intake for the price! Plus once you have a Mid-pipe it drowns out the CAI sound anyway. So why not save money with a flat k&n filter and RB duct..

Maybe we should have redirected him to your 04 Turbo thread shenanigans (https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/turbo-rx8-04-model-179661/).

Thats where the real power is, LOL!

Actually, K&N also makes a full intake (semi-CAI), as well as the filters themselves. The K&N intake produces a bit more power, but is much louder, than the AEM.

quickest way to get more power is to trade your car in for a 5.0 mustang. it'll take a few hours, you wont get your hands greasy and you'll have a lot more torque.

I would recommend a GT-R instead.
