Bolt-ons are like headers, CAI , TB, basicaly anything that can be bolted directly to the motor. Just read your Sig those are bolt ons.

I always understood the term Bolt On to be something that could be installed rather easily and without cracking open the engine, but my understanding might be little different than other peoples

CAI = Cold Air Intake
TB = Throttle Body

As far as bolt-ons go, I've always heard them referred to as any part you can put on that doesn't touch oil. Except turbo/superchargers, ive heard those both ways, but i think it depends on who you're talking to on that part.

Actually , I dont consider Your roller rockers a Bolt on item... IMO, and I'm sure others will agree.

Roller rockers are "officially" a bolt-on when you're talking about the fastest bolt-on cars being allowed to have them and still be considered a bolt-on car.
