AGT · 10-01-2007, 05:23 PM

for the price CAI
40 bux or so on ebay and noticed improvement

added my WAI. the better mpg... i already made back the cost of it... its phenomenal

Its tough to say which is best. If you havent done anything yet CAI and exhaust will be your best options. After that i would say best bang for the buck is a pcm. Then ported manifolds and heads. it all depends on how far you want to take it.

had my motor built and tuned it. last part of my build is a 62mm TB which is sitting in my garage waiting for a rainy day.

to just get started, a CAI is your best bet...it rains alot in PA, but not nearly enough to soak the filter, so you'll be just fine.

1) WAI ($30.00 ebay)
2) Custom PCM (MP Racing)
3) Magnaflow cat-back exhaust

Magniflow and something done to the air box (Not CAI) I don't know I didn't do it. But my best mod is my 129 Tail of the Dragon sticker

Whats better for gas mileage CAI or WAI?

And what kind of improvement can be expected with the 3400?

If its cheap enough and worth it I will pull my air hog (KN clone) and get one!

[ion] C2 · 10-02-2007, 12:25 PM

gas mileage changes ever so slightly, CAI better for sound/performance

You bought it and that's what you got??? Well I guess you get what you paid for... $8 for a cold air intake???

cavaliers60 · 10-02-2007, 12:28 PM

I think the best mod I did was the WAI.. I'm thinking about going back to CAI.

Ryan from Ohio · 10-02-2007, 10:35 PM

I seen enough pictures so I went and bought some resistors at rat shack and tried it...

I either didnt get it right or the connection wasnt there... I didnt notice ANY difference, nadda...

Jferg2223 · 10-03-2007, 03:42 PM

its suppose to trick you iat sensor into thinking there is colder air coming in than there really is so in turn you end up more fuel and a bad air fuel ratio and some wasted fuel.
