i just bought one semi used.. around 10k miles through it for 235$. was that a good deal?
also
how hard is this to instal?
i just got my cold air intake done... everything else is stock i have an 04 base tl
should i go ahead and get this put on or wait until my jpipe comes in
like i said before im getting the atlp base cb exhaust for graduation.

but yeah

also i was told by buying this whole setup my mpg will go down?

i was also told that it wouldnt be to bad if i got a high flow cat instead of the usual race pipe/ test pipe 3rd cat delete.

im going to leave the precats alone because i lose to much torque.

thanks and i appreciate all the inputs

 

It is worthless, unless you go pre-cats. I went race pipe since Im keeping stock cats. If race-pipe wasn't cheap I would have just left it alone since it does zero gains, just better flowing for j-pipe and such I feel.

 

^ wouldn't say worthless but if you have a jpipe and exhaust its something of an eco friendly bottle-kneckless solution

 

yeah thats whatim aiming for
i kinda like my 20 mpg

trying to keep that as much as possible while getting some gains.
what does bottle kneckless mean tho

 

bolt on mods have nothing to do with MPG decrease. if anything it increases, on the highway doing 65 i get 34mpg

its just people driver the car faster and harder that causes the mpg decrease

bottlenecking means a rough transition from point a to b

example: take 2 soda bottles, 1 is filled. put the empty bottle ontop of the filled bottle(top against top) and flip it. what happens? it takes forever from liquid to go from A to B.

same concept in a car. except the cats are the bottle neck point

 

Yes it was a good deal
