i've got some cash left over from x-mas that i am putting towarads my car but i don't know what i want to get. RSB from greg (115) CAI from greg (210) leather hood protector (because i have A LOT of chips and scratches from rocks etc.) or ventshades. btw, if i get CAI that will be the only thing i get cuz its most expensive.

 

save it for something worthwile.. like a y pipe

 

y-pipe is more worthwhile than a CAI? i wanted to do exhaust later on in the spring...

 

...or a sticker...

 

 

yes

 

will it help me with low end? i took off my POP cuz it sucked low end and i heard CAI is better for it. plus i want that grrrrrrrr sound which the Y won't give me (i dont think)

 

do you want sound or performance?

you want sound.. get the CAI..
you want performance get the y pipe.. and yes it will give you low end..

 

CAI is better for low end? since when?

 

i voted for RSB because its the best upgrade for your handling IMO.

I would hold off for a y-pipe ~$300 if you could though

 

it has always been matt

 

Think about it:

Engine is hot, VERY hot. Pop sits in engine. Engine is hotter than hell when warmed up and just idling. When you push gas, all hot air is sucked into engine. Hot air is thin. That thin air takes away torque and lags you for the first several gulps it takes.

CAI gets it air from OUTSIDE the engine bay. So when you gun it, cool air rushes into your engine, adding torque.

Can't argue with the law of thermodynamics.


Soon2bMaxed, get the CAI. It will put a smile on your face. Sprinty is right the Y-pipe shows better gains, but when it is combined with the CAI it works even better.

 

i think i will get the CAI because i will be doing my exhaust in spring anyways and i want tomsething NOW while i have the $$$. plus,ever since i took off my intake my car has been too damn quiet

 

Look above for answer.

 

IMHO, our engine sounds too quite and a little whiney without an intake. Get the intake foo unless you like gentle woman quiteness.

 

you replied right when i edited, did ever notice that when we make polls on here, hardly anyone ever actually votes?

 

I thought you read my stuff, then changed yours!! You read my mind...

But yes get the CAI or you are a woman.

 

don't talk shlt boi i think i will order my CAI tomorrow...

 

Call Warpspeed. They are supposed to have K&N filters now and they are like $50-60 cheeper than the competition.

Or go with Cattman unless you dont like black intakes.

 

is warpspeed cheaper than custommaxima.com? black would be fine....but i kinda like the silver version that greg is selling.

 

It's about $40 cheeper. I think WSP's are like 140-160.

 

is it the same thing? and they only have black right? i'm looking for the number...

 

Remember the Callaway Vettes with the integrated air duct in the hood? Somebody needs to design a CF hood with the duct where the POP is.
