  • exhaust before cai

    Ok to those who have my engine or even the 3.8 did you notice a little or big difference compared to the exhaust when you also hooked up the cai? That is my next mod will order it soon maybe 4 weeks I need to save some money.

      I had my exhaust on first...noticed a lil gain...not really a whole lot. Exhaust was deep, but not deep enough.

      As soon as i put on the intake, exhaust got A LOT louder, and throdle response improved! no more choking/hessitating.

      Then the cat came into play and everythings workin great [img]smile.gif[/img]

        CAI by itself didn't do jack. Put exhaust and car came alive at 4K+. Very noticable with both.

          I had my exhaust first, noticed a little gain in power. Then i added the CAI and the exhaust tone definitly improved. I don't know if i was expecting too much but i didn't notice a great increase in power or throttle response from the combo of exhaust/cai
          I get better response at highway speeds, but everyday driving around town feels pretty much the same as it did w/stock airbox and K&N filtercharger. I'm not dissapointed in the CAI, I'm glad i got it. I guess i need a few more mods.
          Planning on getting the Jet Stage II chip next w/the 160 stat.
          What else would you add to my combo to get more power??????

            Just lookin' in your sig and it says you have Borla rear-section. Do you have a larger i-pipe. I noticed a big difference after I got that.

              No, I have the stock I-Pipe. Maybe I should look into getting a larger one. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
