Thinking about getting Intake and Exhaust

madaz · 11-05-2014, 10:27 PM

Hey guys. I'm thinking about getting the Stillen Gen 3 intake with the Fast Intentions Cat Back Exhaust with 18" resonators and generally I've been hearing a lot of people say that whatever mod you get first will give you the most power (HP) boost and and subsequent mods the boost is going to be a little less.

My question is: What happens if I get both mods at the same time? What happens then?

Thanks.

You are not going to magically gain more power by doing them at the same time.

You'll gain around the same amount as everybody else does with the same mods. But whereas you might of gained 18whp from your first mod, say an intake, and then 15whp with your second mod, say an exhaust, somebody else who installed the exhaust first saw a 18whp gain and only 15whp from adding an intake later.

At the end of the day, it's a wash. Like said above, you won't magically make more power because you installed them at the same time.

Breathing mods cannot be compounded. The first breathing mod; intake, exhaust, HFC, etc, etc will yield the highest gains. Every mod from there on forward with compliment the first. Some exhaust systems yield higher gains than others. Likewise for intakes. I just had this conversation today with a customer here. He already had out CBE and I was doing the Stillen GEN III install. I gave him "realistic" expectations and also explained once you add HFC's or TP's to the equation, a tune is recommended.

I hope that this helps. If you have any further questions or would like to place an order, please do not hesitate to call us directly.

Thank you.
