Bolt on's?

Stupid question, I've done a lot of searches and checked all of the FAQ threads, Noob threads, all of that stuff. My question is: what would a list of full bolt on's consist of?

-headers
-lid
-catback

-intake
-?cam?
-?heads?
-?SFC?
?-shifter/stall?

Can we just get a list going here? I would assume that it's everything thats not tuning but are the basic easy power gainers. Thanks.

Lid w/ k&n(or other aftermarket brands), hedders, exhaust, ls6intake(or other brands), TB, aftermarket mafs, bellows, etc are generally considered bolt-ons. When someone says they have a bolt-on car thats what they're talking about
Cams, heads, strokers, turbos, SC's, nitrous, etc arent generally considered bolt-on cars even though most will already have the aforementioned parts
I guess you could say suspension stuff are bolt-ons. dont add power but they'll drop ETs
dunno bout the stall though
just my .02cents

I've heard people say that anything that doesn't touch oil would be considered a bolt on. How true that is I don't know.

this has been beaten to death. anything that doesn't touch oil is a bolt-on.

that includes:
headers
pulley
intake manifold
tb
maf
lid
catback/true duals
electric waterpump

power adders such as nitrous and FI are just that...power adders. not bolt-ons.

this is all my opinion, but its pretty widely agreed upon. take it fwiw.
