I have a 2003 Toyota Matrix XR. its an automatic. i have a cold air intake and a cat back. What else can i get for it to give it extra HP and Torque??? The less $$ the better. (under $500 its the best but all advise is good). I dont want a turbo, supercharger or NOS just yet. Thanks.

Sorry to say but I don't think anything cheap will give you any significant power.
The TRD SC would be the best way to go.

for $500.00? maybe some headers. but only talkin' maybe 5-10hp-maybe HP is not cheap. plus with an automatic ?????

Leave the ECU for last after all mods are done. Then u can maximize it's ability thereafter. After i get the stock header ported then i may get a SAFC or E-manage depending on which one then use the G-tech pro SS w/ it. Since the XRS has to be N/A for now we can only due so much w/ it, not complaining though. Just using a little bit of creativity.
