There are a few proven ways to get more speed and cornering from your car but most usually cost a small fortune. If you're looking for the easiest way of increasing performance, look no further. We've gathered a couple really easy ones that cost next to no money and a few for those wishing to go the extra mile. Here they are:

Lose weight
No, we don't mean you. Put your car on a diet. You don't have to be a massive car enthusiast or track day junkie to have a lighter car. Get rid of all of the unnecessary stuff you're carrying in your car that haven't seen use in a while or never will. And no, don't ditch the spare tire. Get rid of old stuff in the trunk you might be carrying, anything in your back seat that you never need, and even the rear seats or the radio if you're really weight reduction oriented. It doesn't just increase straight line speed, but because it reduces weight the entire driving dynamics of the car are changed for the better. Expect more cornering capabilities with higher Gs.

Intake
The second best thing to do is to install a performance air filter. They're great even for normal applications because there aren't any drawbacks really. The engine is allowed to breathe better being able to suck in more air, making the entire car run better both on and off throttle. Besides, it's the next best thing next to weight reduction cost wise. Most AEM filters aren't that much more expensive than your standard air filter, so instead of changing it get an AEM one instead. It'll release a few more hp and torque, with the added benefit of not having to change it for a lot of time since aftermarket filters last longer. Looking at it in the long run it might even be a lot cheaper to get an AEM one rather than a stock.

Exhaust
Without going into engine internals, turbo replacements and all the usual expensive ways of extracting more components, the last thing on your list should be an AEM exhaust system. They're usually not that expensive especially when compared to internals but can release a lot of power from your engine. Giving the engine the opportunity to expel more waste gases increases the efficiency in the cylinders not to mention the power they can make. It goes great with an AEM filter. Oh, there's also another benefit, one that's a crowd favorite. More noise!
