Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum and I have a few questions about my 2006 Azera Limited. First, a little background and introduction to the car. I bought my Azera January 2016 after going to the dealer expecting to buy a 2008 BMW 335xi. I test drove the BMW and liked it, but I was not loving the way the interior had worn so I decided not to go with it (I still want one though lol). I was told about an Azera, which I had never heard of, that someone had just traded in. I test drove it and instantly fell in love with the car, signed the papers, and named her Jin-ju ("Pearl" in Korean). When I purchased Jin-ju she had 85,249 miles and now she has 116,707 miles on the odometer and looks as good as she did the day I got her (Minus some bugs on the front bumper, as well as, some dog hair and dog prints in the back which I need to clean up). Anyway, enough about that. I have a few questions in regard to modifications. I would like to add a CAI as I have seen others put in a Weapon R CAI for a V6 Sonata (Is this a good CAI for a 2006 Azera?), but I have read in a thread that the Azera has a stock CAI already (It sure doesn't look like any CAI I have seen), is that statement true and if so would it be worth replacing it with an aftermarket CAI? Also, I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for other modifications, such as a new exhaust system, that can be done to improve HP? I'm not a super experienced "car guy", but I have helped friends with their projects and want to do a few projects on Jin-ju if possible, that said I am not very knowledgeable on what modifications are available. I'm not looking to raise the HP to the 350HP I have seen others do, but I would like to raise it closer to 300HP.
Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
