need cheap power

I could not help but laugh and say to myself that this 17 year old with no money but seems to have some for the mods he would like to do is richer than me right now and I'm in my 30's........lol!

 

will any of these things affect engine life?

 

I'm not too sure.

I would think that better filtering would keep engine interior in better condition.

Anything from the headers back, I couldn't see making a huge difference. The only change that would be made would be back pressure. I don't know how that affects the actual engine, or could wear it.

 

From all my experiences the words power, and cheap are not ever used in the same sentence. Unless your speaking of N2O, which isn't good for anything but destroying a motor in my opinion.

If you're looking for something affordable, maybe take out your secondary air filter (free), open up the engine some with an aftermarket muffler of good quality (weld in) and possibly a CAI. You could probably do all of these for under 175 bucks.
