    might wanna keep those airbags in the car... never know what might happen... those will save your life someday... not a smart move removing those

    but removing them adds horsepower :(

    For every 100 pounds removed from car you can expect 1/10 of a second off your quarter mile time. Not really practical for daily driven, non-racing lancer

    Def. not worth removing airbags. My airbag saved my life 6 weeks ago. Just do the hood and trunk. The hood on my car is frikkin heavy! I imagine a CF hood would help on the weight issue

    It doesn't add horsepower, it just changes hp to weight ratio.

    i won´t buy a cf hood or trunk, because they are to expensive and i will have to paint them in the color of my car.

    i still adding some performance parts like the pulley and the rrm header.
    last Friday i received my K&N airfilter and it´s extremely a different to the stock.

    now the power came up from 3000 rpm.
    hope it will go down with the pulley and the header

    I would think so. Most people are saying they felt a bi difference in their throttle response with the pulley. I should be getting mine soon also.
