i was thinking about getting an injen cold air intake, dc headers,and creative impacts high flow s-pipe. how much of a difference in acceleration do you think these mods together would make on a tc?

intake = no more than a K&N filter.

headers and s-pipe? dont know. youd be the first person i know running both. dyno it after the install and let us know, yeah?

offtopic but, i think you really should change ur nickname
its reallllllly long..

Why not replace the exhaust with the full creative compacts exhaust while you're at it? Doesn' make much sense to open up the air everywhere else and leave the exhaust stock.

dc sports header is a good call. i noticed a huge ass difference once i got mine on. if i had the money to dyno my car, i would, but payday is tuesday..

i dont really want a new exhaust, just wanna make the one i have a little louder. how much is it to get dynoed? what exactly will that do?

Just get a cat back exaust. It'll sound nice. No need for a dyno

i dont wanna put that much money out, i just want a little more sound and i can get that for only 150 instead of like 500 cuz if i was gonna get a new exhaust id make sure it was a good one.

for the love of god dont get a coffee can.

whats that supposed to mean?

 

[QuadinScionTC]

a 100 dollar exaust is usualy bad quality and will give you horrible sound. Dont get a fart can exaust, one that makes the car sound like a lawnmower, or a angry bee.

 

[mattvs]

That's a coffee can.

I have the exact setup you are talking about (except for the alphawerks header) and I am very happy with the pickup. GSC/KillertC.com did a dyno test of all the available intakes and founds the Injen to give 5hp more than all of the others in CAI mode. they also did the test with an AW header. I recently installed the CC s-pipe and found that the engine idles a little smoother and has better pull on the top end. The only downside of the upgrades is that the stock exhaust has gotten a little raspy. I will probably get the CC full exhaust with high flow cat, resonator and magnaflow muffler to clean up the sound and free a few more HP.

Yup! here's the post:

I made 3 videos a while back of: Injen Cold air intake, Megan Header, ZPI s-pipe, Weapon R engine dampner and ground wire kit, I'm running the stock exhaust:





I installed the TWM stage 2 short shifter a while later and its a nice compliment to all the engine mods. I'll prob. make a new vid with it soon.

Well, it'll be louder, but it won't be a "good" louder.

I just assumed you were doing these upgrades for performance, not for sound.
