Warpseed ypipe + CAI= 0-60?
So basically im trying to improve the looks/performance of my car before I sell it in a few years. This car has lost a noticeable amt of power since i bought it in 2006. I want it to feel like the V-6 it used to be; currently prob at 9.3 secs from 0-60
. My warpseed ypipe is on its way and my cai was recently installed. How much would this combo shave off that time? 99 auto SE-L.

I was experiencing the same exact issue on my 1996 SE 5sp until I replaced my stock Y with a Warpspeed Y. Turns out the pre-cats in the stock Y were completely degraded and were plugging up the exhaust system.
The main cat was also completely plugged, we tried blowing air from an air compressor through the exhaust via the muffler with the Y pipe off and it was almost air-tight, as in air was going back at us through the muffler instead of going through the cat.
Make sure to inspect those things when you replace the Y.
Also, watch for bad 02 sensors! That can cause a very noticeable loss in power. So many things - vacuum leaks, bad compression, improper fuel pressure.

Good stuff man! I got a P0325 code....knock sensor 1 circuit (bank 1). That explains the hesitation when i pull off.

nice to see nj orgers hookin up. just recently figured out how to do the KS without pulling IM, with big hands. i removed intake up to the TB, which is easy. then i remove that little green rectangle thats kinda in the way. with the rectangle removed i can reach in there. with it on i cant.
