What does adding cold air intake do to the sound of the engine?
What about adding header w/o exhaust?
And header with exhaust?

I want to do those mods, but i don't want the engine sound to change too much cuz my parents will get pissed of when they come visit me ...do the queit tips help a lot?

 

Try not to take this the wrong way, but if you're worried about what your parents will think then you don't have any business messing with the car.

 

well its my car, and i'll be spending my money on the mods...its just that my parents will still prob get pissed...

 

like actually my parents have never seen the car before, and they have no idea how its "supposed" to sound...(my parents live in taiwan...) i just want to know if the mods will change the engine sound so much that my parents are gonna be like "what the hell did u do to ur car?!" when they come visit me...

 

haha same here!!!!!!!!!

well honestly, they wont know if u get headers or CAI. mine didnt.
if u get exhast, they will see it.

 

well they dont have acura TLs in taiwan so they have no idea wut it looks like anyways, im jus worried about the sound...

 

they wont know anything. they wont hear the sound UNLESS they driving crazy and rev rpms.

 

haha ok my parents wont be doin that...
thats without an exhuast change thou right?

 

i neevr had a exhaust, i dont know about that.

 

aiight...well i dont plan on getting an exhaust anywayz...if it doesnt affect the performance of the headers...does it? like does having the headers with exhaust result in higher hp and torque gains?

 

i dont know the answer this to.

ANY1 want to help him besides me that is smarter then me!!!!

 

haha...Nick you've been very helpful already...thanx a lot

 

Ya the CAI sound wont have any effect until the throttle is pressed basically to the floor. When you floor the pdel it opens up a valve on the air intake and then takes advantage of the CAI.
