I like cars. Some of the reason I showed up here is because I like cars....cars are neat. But, a lot of you don't talk about cars for whatever reason. I'm here to tear down that wall...This is a car thread, with questions and shit. If you don't post, I'll bump it with pictures of ladies... so hopefully some peeps will post, and HEAVEN FORBID!!! An actual conversation might break out.
Okay, my car is pretty fast..it has horsepowers and such, but since this car isn't the average kind of car I drive (sedan)...it's pretty slick, and has a reasonable tuner community behind it. I'm looking to spice it just lightly.
I do not want to lose drive-ability or have it sound like a pile of Honda. Which is ironic due to my screen name.
The two mods I am looking to install are a cat back exhaust, and a long tube cold air intake, which filters sit in front of the radiator. Optimal gains based on dyno sheets and a lot of the research I've put in reading other forums lead me to believe I could be getting upwards of 40whp doing this.
So, have you ever done anything like this? Does your car still sound cool? Mine has a nice sexy growl I like...if it ends up sounding all tinny and shitty like a civic I'm going to throw a midget through a very tiny plate glass window.
Also, should cost about 2k... which for roughly 40hp isn't really spitting in my face. Plus, the air intake beats some shitty panel filters anyway.
Cat back is about $1300
Long tube CIA is about $500
I can install the CIA myself, and I have a bunch of mechanic friends that could probably be fucked to install the catback for a case of awful beer.
I'm super on the fence. Also, I've looked into it, and with those two mods, air/fuel mixture should not be affected.
Thoughts on all that, personal experiences? Is your car tuned up at all? Do girls slobber all over your dick because of it? Shit, now I have to hotlink pics of girls, or I'll look like a liar.
Couldn't I just link to girls or something? Eh I'll just do it.
I just cleaned my hard drive...so now I have to plug that external HD in and hotlink off that. I hope you bros realized how annoying this is.
