OK now that I've added wheels and tires and gotten lowered I'm looking at the next mod for my XB. Would like some extra power but not at the expense of a big drop in MPG as this is my daily ride. Should I go for an intake or exhaust next?

FYI I have an auto trans and have heard/read the adding both may get too loud. Anyone that has both already have any comments?

Thanks for any info

Doug

if ur trying 2 save mpg's then go with the intake
:D

Dude!!! Doug you were at the Scion Central and exhaust coming out of the ying yang. And you still need to decide what to get? :shock:

Just kidding man!! No rush on it, your only down the freeway anyway. :D

I've got one of Stylus' exhausts, and it's loud, course I replaced all the piping from the header back. If you want to get both, I don't think the intake does THAT much to the sound of your car... I guess it also depends on what intake you get. The exhaust makes it louder, not so much the intake.

I drive an auto as an every day car. I have the AEM CAI, and a cat back Borla (rear section). Its a nice increase to hp, the gas pedal is alot more sensative. At 70mph just under 3k, its not loud at all. It gives off a dull throaty noise. I thought it would be louder inside the car, but its not. Outside however, people tell me it sounds real good, not to loud, but loud enough to know it isnt stock. Flooring it though, it is pretty noisy, and I havnt noticed any change in mpg.

You can get the borla on ebay for $280 including shipping. I bought mine from the ADM guy, he has 100% feedback.

Buebie,

Did you notice any change in your mpg when the intake and exhaust was installed?

and I havnt noticed any change in mpg.

The only change I noticedfrom mpg was from me flooring it so I could hear the growl lol.

Main decision is which one and I'm looking for some info if I decide on both eventually. But Gabe you're the man if I go with the exhaust :)
