CAI now... J-pipe later. Just want to get your

 

dude please just make your responses in the thread you just started 20 mins ago.

/thread.

 

I tried. It said I took to long posting the poll to the thread. It said you have to do it within 10 minutes.

 

it doesnt matter what route you go. 300 dollars will get you a shiny pipe in the engine bay and a whole lot of noise. they're all the same.




/thread.

 

skip it and jump directly to step 2

Is there anything to be gained from removed some of the stock intake components? Removing the resonator will make it louder, but does removing that stuff help with the actual intake of the air, under hood temps or anything like that

 

I suggest you read inaccurate's ultimate cooling mod.
found here:

I have, it's really good. If memory serves, he has an intake that is wrapped with heat shielding right? Why didn't he just keep the stock air box? When they figure out a way to take out the cowling without sacrificing the windshield sprayers, I'll be looking into doing that mod as well.

 

I guess you havent read the whole thread.....
Dremel squares (or circles, or whatever you choose) through the cowling. so heat rises through the cowling and through cuts you've made.

I suggest you take the time to go through this whole forum. Tear this shit up!!!
We cannot tell you what you should do to your car. there is a plethora of info here. we can only suggest and educate you. its up to you to take that info and apply it to your ride. educate yourself so that you can make the best decisions in products for our cars.

 

there all the same, you will get minimum hp gains in a already slow car,

 

The TL is no Evo, but then again it's no Aveo. Honestly I don't really need any more power from the TL, it gets me around just fine. If I wanted a performance car, I wouldn't have gotten the TL.

OP I have a K&N intake and I like it, it gives the TL a throaty sound. The only downside is that it's freakin' loud. With the windows down you can hear it whistling like crazy. I guess it's good to know it's working.

 

I guess it depends what you want. Sound or performance. I went with the CAI first but wish I would have gone with the Jpipe performance wise, plus its cheap to "modify" our exhaust for "sound" purposes. Try searching Stage1, stage 2, stage 3, stage 4. Hope this helps, but this truly is a topic that has been beaten again and again.

 

loll you must really hate ur new buy..

 

No Fujita?

FTL.

 

12 second cars are very fast

14 second cars i wouldnt classify as slow..

I guess you have never driven a 4 cylinder toyota camry, talk about slow.

 

Just finished installing a AEM in my 2007 Type S. Very happy with the results...

 

remove stock resonator and get a jpipe + stage 3 exhaust

 

Option C: Buy my Weapon R Secret Weapon. I hadn't really considered selling it, but I might for the right price. PM me if interested.
