Tl-p ---> tl-s

Now i'm guessing this has been posted here before, and my apologies if it has. Flame away if you must, but i DID search it. My question is, what mods or different combinations of mods would be required to boost a TL-P to about the same performance level as a TL-S? I'm not talking about engine or tranny swap or any of that, but actual after-market mods.

headers, cold air intake, exhaust that is 2.5 to 2.25 straight through with straight through mufflers.... 2.5 high flow cat and pulley.

which is basically almost everything.

excluding the little mods like the thermoblock spacers..

from the looks of my dyno with the ATLP exhaust... not really



ATLP is 2.5" to 2.25 Y split with straight through muffler design.

no resonator or anything on the piping.

if your going to spend 2-3 grande in bolt ons... why not pay 500 for a type S motor and pay another 750-1k to get it swapped in for you?

chances are you can have a motor with less miles too.. my

not much, plus you can get better aftermarket suspension and make the P better.
