honestly, if you dont have a job, I think you have bigger fish to fry than making your car go faster.

sux....take the emission's crap off...it doesn't really give u that much hp..and im not sure if it gives u any but it sure does clean up ur engine bay and takes a little weight off....save up for a Racing Beat exhaust header....thats a pretty good bang for ur buck....if u wanna get the intake manifold....u gotta change the carb with it to see some real hp gains....basically to change ur stock 100 to a 160 add a header intake manifold and a new carb....i got 2 words SAVE UP

peace,
Gufran

oh fuel injected eh...put one of those after market air filters....those are pretty good...take off the rest of the intake piping and resonator (if there is one) big waste of space....that should cost u about 15 USD for a K&N i think....i'm not sure check out their web site...next get a header for it whenever u can save up more

I'll tell you right now, stripping the emissions equipment does not add any horsepower, it just simplifies the engine bay.

Your best bang for buck mod is gonna be a full racing beat exhaust, you can expact to pay a pretty penny for that too.
