First I'd like to say anyone who didn't successfullyu install the CAI with the TBS did not try. It was no problem all you ran into was the one hose being slightly short. So u just attach it 1/4 inch shy on each end and clamp it good and youre fine. Or just buty a hose thats a bit longer. Anyways the CAI with the reflash and the spacer is insanely nice. Feels quick as shit now love the pick up and response. That whistle it makes around 3500 to 4500 is awesome.
O ye of little faith lol heres the pics of the CAI with the TBS installed
And of course me and the boys lined up for our cheap wing night to celebrate the install success lol
I'm glad it's worked out for you. I have the reflash & Injen intake too... minus the spacer. While I LOVE the reflash, I dislike the intake... I've already removed it... different strokes for different folks I guess.
Your car looks sweet with the areo kit. Is your buddy's stang a 5.0? Have you driven it? That's what I really wanted when shopping for the Si, sadly, it wasn't in the budget!
Yes my buddys Mustang is the 2012 5.0. No I have not driven it. He just got it last month. Its very fast and getting supercharged next week. Right now tho the Evo X my other friend has is 430 hp vs the Mustangs 420 hp they are fairly evenly matched presently but not after the supercharger.
how much was the spacer and the reflash? i've been lookin for a hondata set up but not sure what to get. the stock air flow has a nice groan to it as is. is it a bit excesive with the intake? does the vtec sound more pronounced when it kicks?
I agree. I have the Injen CAI & P2R TBS. I too love the Whoot of the CAI & the whistle of the TBS.
My first mod was the TBS. Didn't really notice any performance improvements, nor did I hear the whistle? MPG's were the same too,
My second mod was the CAI, but I removed the TBS. I definitely noticed a noise improvement and what I think was an improvement in performance. Vtec, much better! The cool thing is my MPG's went up by 2-3 mpg, awesome!
My third setup (last week) was the combination of the TBS & CAI. I definitely like it, but my MPG's really dropped! 24-25? I am very confused. How did you make out?
