So i'm looking at weapon-R Secret Weapon intakes and they have 2 versions for our car:: For cars WITH and WITHOUT Traction Control.. But how do I know? I have no manual.. all I know--) 1998 TL3.2 in Cayman White Pearl, Leather, heated seats, power sunroof.. VIN# tell you?

 

Look under the hood. If you see a rubber tube in front of the throttle body with TCS on the side of it, you've got traction control.

~Cheers~

 

Thanks Go90o, I've read many threads on this forrum and have come to respect you as sort of an expert in these things. I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with us less experienced guys. I am in the process of personalizing my newly acquired 98 TL3.2, which I love, and will post pictures soon. Plz comment/advise. Actually, didn't I read that you have the weapon-R secret weapon intake? What else should I do to get the most out of the intake? Does it affect sound or performance noticeably? Mpg? Thanks again

 

Oh and Go90go, any chance you know where I can pick up some eyelids that I can get painted? Also looking for clear bumper lights, red/clear inspire tails... Just thought I'd try ya! Preesh!

 

The sound is noticeably different. Far more pronounced beyond 3900 rpms especially. This is mostly because the intake resonator is removed. MPG should NOT be affected however the better (IMO) sound may make acceleration more tempting

 

Thanks Ken1997TL... I was hoping for a little "sound enhancement"! Eventually I'll probably have a custom exhaust made to open her up some more but are there any other "bolt on" add ons you might suggest for improved performance?

 

A 3.2TL could use a type II manifold for a little performance enhancement.
