Hi All,

I just bought a 2004 Toyota Matrix with 14K miles. Is there anything easy I can do to increase the HP a little bit? Thanks.

I think the easiest way to get more go out of any car is to get a performance exhaust made and decent air induction system made too. These are the best ways without directly touching the engin itself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hi

Synthetic oil helps increase power by aprox. 1%

Air filter (K&N ...but remember that it may void your warranty, because it will let very fine dust particle pass through it.)

High octane fuel

Tires pressure is important to the vehicles rolling resistance

Cold air intake tube helps minamaly

I wouldn't mess with the exhaust. (warranty)

one last thing to add - speed chip
you can feel the increased HP,but it really sucking up the gas..

if your worried about your warranty them dont chage any electrical parts.
get a piggyback ecu to change things.
exhaust is funny if its a bolt on things there wont be any issues but if its welded then you have issues.
anymore?? drop me a line.
