BMW FTW
Do a search for performance mods... Basically its is a waste of money, it wont give you more than 5 hp and with a SUV that almost weights 5k lbs you wont notice anything( I dont care what they claim for a N/A motor that is as good as the ML's you wont be able to squeeze much more out of it, but a turbo car or a supercharged car it makes a big difference since from the factory the boost levels are set intentionally low to prolong engine life). You would probably gain faster acceleration by taking out the spare tire and all the road side kits in the back, thats at least 40-50 lbs which is about the equivalent of adding 4-5 HP. The only performance mod I would spend money on that is worth it would be a supercharger, anything else and you are wasting money, now I am not saying something like an exhaust is a waste since it changes the sound which makes you happy along with decreasing weight over the stock system along with a small amount of HP again 5-10hp at most.
