u can remove the airbox and exhaust completely and still function, so its a term for racer to use when modifyin, how extreme the modifications are. Bolt ons are just that, can be done in a driveway with minimal experience, minimal tools, minimal time, with minimal gains. "power adder" is another term for FI/N02.From an engineering perspective exhaust is part of the motor. Just like the CAI is. It's part of the overall system. If you change one single part in the system, it's not stock. It would be the same for suspension. You're not running a stock suspension if you have springs, or control arms, or bushing, or dampers, or CC plates, etc. A lot of people claim "stock suspension" because they haven't changed any geometry and'or pickup points.
I'm ok with:
-Stock motor with exhaust.
-Stock motor with bolt ons.
-Stock longblock
I am not ok with "stock motor" if anything from the air filter to the cat back is not stock. Especially when things like exhaust are worth so much power.

group 2 Forced induction/Nitrous
Group 3 Engine internals (+ either above group)
if you say a power adder ( FI/N02) full bolt ons are assumed, as logicaly those came 1st and work better with/some even required for the power adders
and i agree, you cant claim stock suspension if its not.but again, ive never even heard that as an issue, and cant see that being a universal claim.
You can go to any drag strip, street meet, performance forum and 90% will know/understand what you mean when you say "bolt ons" or "stock motor with a blower/turbo etc" or "built motor + xyz"
Once you say Built motor, one can assume Power adder of some sort as well.
