wassup all, i got an 08 tl type-s and im thinkin of gettin a CAI but i dont really know to much about these things so i was wonderin if someone could tell wat would be the the best one to get and a general price

Thnx

 

Also i jus wanna make my car faster lol but dont wanna spend more than like 1000 if possible, is there anything else i can look into gettin, like a j pipe or something

 

you can probably get a few boltons under 1k, but for real increase in hp you will be up in the thousands ... supercharger, full exhaust like atlp, lightweight wheels, etc

 

how much would it cost for a good CAI? and how much will it really help my performance?

 

~$200, AEM V2
CAI only welds mere single digit increases in hp.

 

do you think it would be worth gettin?

 

That all depends on you.
Going I/J/E is usually a good start.

 

intake/j-pipe/exhaust

 

Thanks i kno i can install the intake myself any suggestions for the j pipe as to wat kind i should get and some price ranges and if i could do it myself?

 

And also where would be the best place to buy the intake from?

 

You can always do everything yourself.
I did all my stuff wrenching away in the driveway.

There's a lot of good threads out there. Search for RV6 or ATLP (j-pipe)

 

Heeltoeauto.com
Excelerateperformance.com

 

Single best hp to price performance mod for the TL is the RV6 J-Pipe. You should start there.

 

+3 on the RV6 Jpipe.

You know there should really be an updated sticky regarding performance mods.....


AEM V2 CAI - $200-300. yields minimal HP but awhole lot of sound
RV6 V3 Jpipe - $470. Yields about 15HP and about 7TQ
RV6 V2 Pre-cat-deletes - $345. yields about 15HP
catback exhaust - various vendors - from $900 and up.

to visit RV6 website to purchase go to google and type in RV6 performance. Look for the URL rv6.ecrater

 

Thanks im defenitely gonna get the RV6 V3 but imma start out with the intake jus cuz its a lil cheaper lol

 

boooooooo

 

suit yourself.
MINIMAL HP GAIN......

x2

You can also mimic the sound of the CAI for free. Let me know if you want more info

 

How?

 

by taking out the resonator.

 

wow! I didnt know it was that much HP, another item added to my list.
