Got some extra cash so I'm looking to buy either a CAI or a pulley if you had to pick between the two as a first mod, what would it be??

greatly appreciated guys!! and girls of course!

 

Check the Black Market...I believe a CAI is for sale. As for which one to do, I would do CAI 1st. But, go with which ever comes up on the BM with a good price...you just missed a pulley...hurry and get the CAI.

 

Cai

 

pulley first intake actually creates throttle lag

 

^^^^that explains a lot of things.

 

can you explain how it creates lag? i haven't heard anything like that yet?

 

cold air son! So you can hear that VTAK! Just don't floor it under the bridge next to peak fitness and carrabas, matthews cops love to sit there as im sure you know.

 

hell yeah!! i've got a few stories for ya around that area! my old acura TL got rear ended right after the bridge during rush hour couple months ago, then i got a speeding ticket at like 5am on thanksgiving day!!!

we should meet up sometime maybe at the starbucks on 51..i gotta take a look at your car!!

 

Intake

 

Pulley will probably give you more of a gain to be honest and CAI more sound. You choose

 

Pulley beyond a shadow of a doubt, CAI is cool and it sounds great but you dont get half the gain as you do with the pulley.

 

is it necessary to reset the ECU after installing an underdrive pulley on an 08? or will it learn that theres been a change and adjust accordingly? with that being said, does it take a bit of time to notice the difference?

 

you do want to reset the ECU so it learns from scratch with the new mods and from what I've read, it still takes a little while for the car fully adjust and unlock the released HP. I've been waiting to install mine for a couple months and have been reading and drooling about it for years.

I reset the ECU after doing anything, even when I upgraded wheels and tires.
