Were are you located at?

In Glendora, CA there is a shop called Enhanced Motorsports and they have a CAI and cat back exhaust that they will be manufacturing...it's on the car so you can check it out. Dyno's at 10whp with the combo and the exhaust sounds fukn sic. If you've ever heard a lotus...it is exactly like that...deep, throaty, smooth, and just a little louder than stock.

FUKN AMAZING

It's like a fresh V8 exhaust. I'll take pix if they let me but DAMN...10whp...on the xB we are gettin 7whp for I/H/E


The cool thing is it comes in 2 pieces so you can either have cold air intake which is COLD cuz the filter is right where the foglight...bend over and you see all of it...and then you can do a short ram also.

To aswer your question, CAI is not out yet. It should be out later this winter, but it is still pending 50 state legal emissions. As for the power it adds, most of them get somewhere around 8-10hp on other vehicles. As for the exhaust, it only adds about 2-3hp, because the stock exhaust is so free flowing. Note: this ia flywheel HP not wheel HP.

CF Engineering has a prototype CAI on a tC right now. We are testing for reliability and such. We hope to be setting up a group buy shortly (after we set up our sponsor account through this forum). Please PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Clift

They don't seem to have a website. Any idea what the final cost would be w/ install?
