Torque = Addictive

Ever since I installed a CAI and removed the intake resonator this engine really pulls (and sounds quite good)

Its a pity its not RWD

That is all.

lol


The 3.5 is really choked up by the intake and exhaust.

Some freeflowing resonators and muffler would really help with your...er...problem? lol


Its funny because I just dropped in a K&N replacement filter (pending future plans) and my kids noticed right away. They were like,"Dad your car makes a funny sounds when you turn it off."

I noticed a HUGE difference...ive been thinking about doing a type 2 intake manifold swap...maybe thatll free up some power. Im sure reworking the exhaust would help as well.

That's what I was hoping to hear....

I had a Nissan a few years ago and got a CAI and my MPG actually increased (if I drove nice)

I'd like to see pics as well. If your looking for one just search for a 91-95 Acura Legend. The layout is almost exactly the same.

Thats pretty much it. I just used one meant for a Legend with traction control.

Identical to my 1997 TL setup.

Pics fairly soon, I'm traveling a lot lately.

Cmon dude, post some details. Being winter, the fun car is stored away and I need to do some tinkering to the daily driver.

Hey I just moved into my new house.

You could temporarily just remove the immediate piece below the airbox, takes 5 minutes.

The airbox itself and the filter will stay in place and it'll sound a lot better than stock.
