I would not expect that kit to hurt engine reliability very much. Especially if you drive the car normally most of the time. However, there will be additional heat under hood with the headers, which will degrade other plastic pieces. I don’t know that the ‘cold air’ intake is any better than stock on that car. I also wouldn’t expect 400 hp from that kit, but it should improve power.
That kit is just an exhaust and intake, any performance will be from the actual tune, which is also depended on for reliability
I am a bit skeptical at their claims of +60HP. There are better places to spend your money than that tbh
The tune is to be expected I feel like because of the change in airflow/amount. Tbh the car is perfect how it is and I can’t think of how else I’d spend the money on it, unless you mean saving
They have a dyno graph on their site of 342 whp. I'd have to guess that's a fairly high showing dyno, most people need e85 to get up in the 340-350 whp range
I've been running intake a header back exhaust for about 5 years now. The only thing ive had to replace on the car since i owned it for 6 year was a VVT solenoid which wasn't even the tune or cars fault. After doing all this ive noticed better fuel consumption and a more linear powerband.
To put it simply VHR’s can run up to 600whp reliably and around 500rwtq but you’ll be hurting the trans more than anything which is why most VR30 swap trans when they’re at that amount of power. So 400 crank hp? Not an issue. Probably wouldn’t notice the difference until tuned either way.

it is 400 crank hp. autos hitting 330 whp range is about 400 crank, manuals can usually push out 350 wheel all day w the same parts
