I got a 99 GLE. auto....I want a little growl...nothin major I been down that road already....should get a intake or muffler if so which do you recommend?....Im not looking for cheapest ,something worth the money....thanks in advance....im thinking intake...post links if any

 

Intake will give you a growl. While the muffler will hum. You know this man!

 

I think the intake will give you a more satisfying growl. Plus, you can turn it off by not flooring the throttle The wrong muffler will drone all the time.

I've seen intakes dyno 5hp more at the wheels, never that much for a muffler alone...

 

Intake won't really do any good if you don't have something done to your exhaust. You need t get the exhaust out just as fast as it goes in. I just purchases a Stillen intake and a RT gutted cat to free up the exhaust flow.

 

intake!

 

Thanks for the replys guys

I was gonna do the same just put high flow cat and intake.how does it sound?


which brand intake?

 

is this good

what do you guys think?

 

Don't waste your money on the hi-flow cat. Just get the intake.

That one looks like it will get the job done.

 

get cold air intake. Lots of growl!

 

ok they say a cai is better the just a filter for a automatic any truth?


i will get this



this has a k&n

 

like Jefferson said, don't waste your money on a highflow cat.
it won't do anything.
if you want to free up power...get a ypipe, not a cat.

brand of intake....i'd say either jwt or stillen filter.
along with that you could get a custom, ebay, or frankencar midpipe.

 

OK I WILL GET A INTAKE

WHAT BRAND?

WHERE DO I GET A JWT INTAKE I NOT PAYING $200 FOR A STILLEN

 

I suggest a ypipe, but if you are just into sound and not performance, get an intake. An exhaust or high flow cat will gain you ZERO with a stock ypipe, no intake and no boost.

 

I got my jwt on custommaxima.com for $131 shipped. plenty of growl for me without too much.

 

I bought a CAI of Ebay with a K&N Filter for $120. It sounds great, and MIGHT be a little faster.

 

I built my intake myself, and it cost me very little compared to what a jwt or some of the others were. the most expensive thing i bought was the filter, whick was like 20 bux. paint and everything, i have about 50 in mine, and it is the same thing as anyones popcharger and midpipe-well, it actually sounds different from a friends I30 with an ebay one-Mine is deeper and louder- . I just wish it was back on the road . can i borrow some money from someone?

 

Ok I think i'll get one off ebay for $100 shipped it comes with an K&N filter. ....thanks for the replys


Oh...and i just ordered my redclear inserts form a org member

 

i would definitely go for an intake - frankencar.com is the place to go, cattman has a nice ram setup too
