injens will have the most hp gain out of many of the other companies out there. the highflow air filter will do almost nothing for power, the most you'll see is better fuel economy. you have a resonator on the exhaust? and how big is your exhaust?

a resonator muffles some of the sound of your exhaust. maybe invest in highflow cat, and headers. but that will cost you more than 200 though.

Does that really do anything for hp or torque? It doesnt seem like it would do anything besides maybe a stronger spark.
