A cold air intake system helps to draw cooler air into the engine, which is denser and can result in more power. Two of the best options for the K24A2 are from DC Sports and Injen.

An upgraded exhaust system can free up horsepower by reducing backpressure and improving exhaust flow. J’s Racing and Toda offer excellent exhaust kits for the K24A2.
