CAI/Exhaust combo
#2
I have the K&N CAI and TRD exhaust. I am very happy with the performance and sound. Did a dyno on it and was pulling 150.1Hp at the wheels. I am sure there are better exhausts out there. Mine came with the car.
Good luck.
Good luck.

150 from the k&n and trd exhaust? that's really not bad. dyno's of stock tc's were pushing 140hp. the k&n is supposed to be around 6hp. that means the trd pushed 4. i heard that it pushes like 3-4hp, but never saw a dyno of it. dealerships try and tell u that the trd exhaust will give like 6-7hp, but that's a dealership. ken from trdsparks told me around 3-4hp tops. i have the trd exhaust also, but it'll be gone tomorrow. my Creatvice Compacts full catback just got here tonight. can't wait to get that thing in. i'm gonna not even go out tonight just to make sure i can be up early to do it. can't go out and get trashed and sleep till 3-although with a day off, it's tempting.

Question i wanted to get a CAI too (more or less the injen because it can convert to a SR) but i dont know how a SR works. Doesnt it get to hot pulling the air up there??? Can it cause a problem with overheating???? I am a little new a this so bare with me!!! Please fill me in anyone!!

The cold air box is supposed to prevent the heat soak of the filter while the car is at a standstill, at what airflow sacrifice I'm not sure. Basically it all comes down to preference, you lose a little low-end torque with the CAI but there is no heatsoak issue. There's a danger of hydrolock with a CAI opposed to a SRI albeit the odds are slim. Personally I love the look of the Weapon R so once I have the cash, that will be my choice. K&N/Injen all fine and whatnot but installation and cleaning the filter is a _____ so that influenced my choice as well.

I have the Injen CAI. We will be going with the HKS catback for the exhaust option.
FOR EVERYONE wondering about the Injen CAI, swing over to my thread called "It's Finally Here". I have pics, video, and my conclusion.
