air intake muffler removal
Recently came across a site that said removing the baffle from the air intake could give me 10hp. I understand the logic behind this but still not sure if I want to do it. Anyone tried this?

i doubt that man, maybe 1-2 hp if that.. and there is i think a How to: section here on how to remove the silencer.. i think its called the Air Silencer mod.
edit: basically all it does is make it breath a little better and it sounds a little meaner... not to much but you can notice it. also that link doesnt work for me.

The tires are 265/50r15s and are actually about 2-3 inches shorter than what is supposed to be on it 225/70r14. I am going to do a tune up (plugs/wires/air filter/oil etc.) and that should get some torque back but I would still like to free up any more that I can find. Would "opening" up the cat help or hurt? I don't know if it is plugged up and have heard that modding an unclogged cat can actually hurt performance.
