Waht are some wyas i can get some fairly inexpensive horesepower out of my 2007 TL?

 

whats cheap?
AEM CAI $230
UR Pulley $200ish dont remember
Thermoblockers $100
Pro Cats $1100...worth every penny

 

N O S Just kidden. Works great on my other car but I wouldn't take a chance putting it on my TLS. I'm looking into some future mods myself. Happy Hunting!

I'm not sure if the pro cats are really that beneficial on the TL-S... hasn't been proven yet that I know of.

I just installed an AEM intake, and it's awesome... definite power increase. Wish I would have done it sooner.

 

so, out of all those things, what would you recommend adding first?

 

Cai, barely any hp but sweet sound.. if your on a budget then forget performance modding

 

Like abouelmm said, the CAI is probably your best bet. I deff noticed a power increase in the higher RPM's It feels more free flowing

The Thermoblock spacer doesn't really add any "HP", but from what i've heard, it just allows for smoother/faster acceleration. Same with the pulley...This can be a good thing as you'll get to the engines vtec stage faster than you normally would.

 

will i not get as much power if i added these things if it is an automatic

 

you will get as much HP

 

there is more drivetrain loss in the auto though, so in terms of whp, you won't see as much power gains as a manual. roughly what, 18% loss auto, 12% manual? something like that

 

CAI, Pro Cats, UD pulley.

PM me if you need any of those parts.

 

shit is it possible to do a auto to manual swap
