Exhaust, Intake and Headers advice

I have a Wicked Flow Muffler and it is great. i have the single tube but they also make double tubes as well

 

Hey, I ended up going with the TRD exhaust and love it! I am now considering a TRD intake...but haven't made up my mind. One warrenty is up I will chip it I'm sure.

 

Well you definitely get a nice sound from the TRD, but not really any performance from it.

 

Love the sound! Now I want to add a CAI and i guess the MAF calibrator. What will I gain? I know the website claims I'll claim 15rwhp from just the maf, but all together????

 

What about Borla cat back exhaust with a TRD intake topped witha AFE throttle body spacer???

 

Add a MAF calibrator instead of the TB spacer and call it good!

 

Sweet thx for the tips guys.

 

Mass air sensor? what is the difference or is there.

 

One day, a friend of mine and had the oem intake off, and were curious to see what it looked like on the inside. Upon inspection, it was overly obvious that due to a plane that runs down the middle of the inside, the swirling effects induced by throttle body spacers would be completely negated. It would effectively straighten the air back out.

It was very interesting to learn that. With that in mind, and my knowledge of what other aftermarket companies do for other motors, I came up with a way to make a spacer that does work. It is an intske manifold spacer that fits between the plastic upper intake plenum, and the lower aluminum plenum, which is bolted to the heads.

I am sure a few member on here know of the other member who's screen name is Coupe.

I went to him with my idea and dimensions. About a month later we had the first prototype. I still use it as well. The intake manifold spacer lengthens the primaries by a 1/2". Thus increasing torque throughout the power band. It also improves horsepower and gas mileage.

My friend at NST, or Non Stop Tuning, now sells them to the public. They also have the dyno charts to prove the results.

Interesting stuff

 

Dont see a dyno graph posted anywhere.

 

So throttle body spacers are not worth it do you think they take away power i have had them in the past and they DO give a more aggressive sound. If i were to get one then you think it would just be for sound and looks then? I have heard things like Mass air flow sensors and such are those a good idea with intakes and exhaust. There is a nother thing that people have talked about that has to do with induction, but cannot find it maybe they are calling it by slang?

 

What is the difference between the the two and which would you reccomend and and do you have any links to both.

 

Well your truck has a maf right now so you need the calibrator to calibrated it for your mods, go to Urdusa.com

Induction is forced induction which refers to a supercharger it turbo. Turbo uses exhaust gases to create pressure and aupercharger used your belt to create boost.

 

Here you go.
