    Just wondering if it would be worth buying a performance chip/module for a 2006 with a naturally aspired 3.8 V-6?, or would it be better to put in cold air intake instead?

    Could do both.

    Or add a rotating intake assembly otherwise known as a power adder.

    Maybe ... Maybe not.... Maybe go **** yourself - " the departed " id probably go headers pal these cars arent so much " chipped " they call it a canned tune blah blah. Headers helps reduce kr and the headers and dp are the most restrictive ares on exhaust system.

    not only does this post not help, it's also misleading for users that literally dont know any better.

    the old school forum etiquette is dead.

    seriously chips for ANY car is a big joke. it doesnt do crap so dont bother. cold air intakes dont add 15 to 20 hp like they post and ppl think. you sound like a 16 year old and if ur not i'm sorry. if you really want to add horsepower click on the link in blue's sig like he said and learn about your car. figure out what you should do regularly before you mod as well.

    First time I've ever seen one of these. Think I'll run to MicroCenter and Advance and build one myself with a 4" cone and case fan. Throw in some case LEDs for some extra punch and it will rock!

    That would be messed up if someone bought that based on my suggestion for real powerz. Also would be hilarious at the same time. Regardless, point taken bio.
