Would I notice much of a diffrence in accerlation/horsepower if i add a K&N CAI? I'm still thinking about getting a modified PCM, CAI K&N , and then thkin about a new exhuast maybe, since alot of u guys have inspired me to do so cuz they sound good.

If you do the intake, it will help in throttle response, but nothing very big. The GTP is where it makes somewhat of a difference.

A cai wo'nt add a lot on a N/car but it is a necessary piece of the modding pie ,your on the right track next you would need exhaust and a tuned PCM.Chico(pops)

You'll feel more of a difference when/if you take out the ubend in the exhaust. You won't feel anything with the CAI until you start adding other things.

It DOES make a difference though.

Get a DP with a U-bend delete along with a CAI and you will feel a diference. And that's without a PCM. Then get a PCM too. Trust me.

X2, Thats what im working on now is my exaughst, then my next mod is PCM, already have the CAI, however, you do feel slight better throttle response with only a CAI, but like stated before, its very little. Well worth it and makes your ride sound nicer!

Barring anymore financial problems, I'm planning on buying those three things (intake, dp, and pcm) around new years.

So, I'm hoping you're right. laugh
