how to make it faster...

I have a 2008 Base TL. What would be a good CAI and exhaust to put in to increase performance?

I love the sound of the exhaust in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLtQu...eature=related

Would this exhaust plus a CAI give me better performance?

Besides CAI and exhaust, what are other good mods I could use? Thanks alot guys!

red = sarcasm
cai - fujita, injen, aem; they're essentially all the same, seriously (i have fujita)
exhaust - comptech, atlp, excelerate's setup; i have comptechs and i'm complimented DAILY by fellow ziners i happen to run into - the "common" citizen just doesn't care lol
major performance - comptech blower, meth injections - all in all some freaking BOOST haha
anyways, that's all essentially...good luck!

ur pulley, spacers, atlp j-pipe, race pipe, etc if you're interested

I would start with the AEM CAI and P2R Throttle body spacer. The exhaust is only going to net you about 8-10 hp but most aftermarket exhausts will definitely look nicer and sound better.

To take care of all of the car's breathing, get a CAI (I prefer AEM), exhaust (I prefer GReddy), and then get the J-Pipe (I prefer the ATLP).

I bought the chip from them in BBQ Flavor. I thought it'd match well with my o4 taillights that are red.
I hear that having the chip on the Type-S will eliminate your reverse gear... But you get double the gains as advertised by JCL. It's also going to allow your car to unlock hyper-speed. You'll go so fast all you'll see is vortex-like-blur as you zoom by other cars.

Just in case the OP and sensualscrop... are wondering why we are answering with stupid remarks... because you guys obviously didn't even look at recent performance threads... where I, and everyone else has killed this topic to death.

That's strange, I got the Cooler Ranch chip, and it eliminated my Neutral gear, which is fine with me since I only used it when I drove down steep mountain trails through the woods chasing Sasquatch. My wife likes it though since the car no longer smells like leather but Cool-Ranch Doritos instead. The only problem is all the cats in town follow me around.

Why doesn't everyone just go into the diagnostic screen thru the Navi screen and enable pro-race mode. This take about 15 seconds, requires no installation and is 100% FREE!!!
