RE: Aftermarket parts help please - 12/31/2007 6:37:04 PM    donjp23   Posts: 4 Joined: 6/5/2007 Status: offline I am basically looking for anything that will increase my horsepower and acceleration. A nice sounding exhaust system would also be a plus.(As long as it doesn't sound like a POS civic.) I want my Malibu to be a car that people think has nothing until I blow it on them. Don't get me wrong, it has balls already, with the stock 200hp, but I want more. Axe9, if you just replace the stock air box with a K&N cone filter, it will give you a noticeable difference in power. It may not be as good as a complete cold air intake, but at least it's something. My brother did that to his 97 Malibu with the 3.1 and there was a noticeable difference.
