New to the board - and the new TL! Love this car though.

I know this must have been covered somewhere already, so I apologize in advance if it's a repeat....
I'm looking for some aftermarket goodies not necessarily for added power, but more so for better fuel mileage, since my TL will be doing 30k plus a year. Does the Injen system provide better mileage along with the slight boost in power? What other benefits might it have? Sound would be great, since this thing is too quiet for my taste - making me bounce the limiter a few times just because I can't hear it revving that loud


Thanks......

 

as far as gas mileage i'm not too sure. all i know that it does is give you about 5 hp extra for driving and about 11 hp when pushed hard. not to mention the cool sound it gives off.

 

If Unorthodox Racing comes out with a pulley set (please, please) that should offer power along with better MPG (I have a set on my VR6). I also know using Redline oil in the engine and tranny have gotten me better MPG as well in other cars.

 

i would love to get a set of pulleys. i know for the 2nd gen, it helped them out alot.


as far as better gas mileage, have you thought about one of those tornado things? they're supposed to give more hp and better gas mileage

 

You mean that thing they have on TV? Do those work? I've always wondered.

 

yea those. they claim they do and i think they have a 100% moneyback guarantee. might as well give it a shot

 

Thanks for the quick responses guys!
Never heard of a tornado thing though.......... what is it?

 

The tornado:

does that add horsepower on top of what the injen would give

 

The Tornado is just a gimmic, and my guess it is just a restriction to airflow, I wouldn't let some pay me to put it on my car.

 

have you tried it? if you haven't tried it, how do you know it's a gimmic?

 

You have a lot to learn Daniel Son. It's a turd, go on any performance car message board and ask about it.

 

no. i just don't pass judgement on sh!t i haven't tried myself.

 

Then go ahead and try it.
