So.. I'm waiting at this red light like five minutes ago. I'm in the lane that ends, not expecting the lady to my left to give it much gas and she didn't. To my right I see a red sedan GTP pull up and right when it turned green he gunned it around the corner and I gunned it. At first I thought it was a GT or a 3.8 SE because I was slowly gaining on him and I didn't hear a whine.. only exhaust. By the time we had to brake I had half a car on him. Only thing I could hear off him was an exhaust, yet he had GTP badges and the hood with the two holes on it.

Think it was just "show" or does a FWI make that much of a difference..? /Confused

Youve got a lot of things goin on in there. Yer talkin about exhaust, blower whine, badges and then outta nowhere a FWI came into the equation. Can you make it a bit more simple. And to answer yer FWI question, a FWI is a lot better then a stock intake because its drawing in more air plus its colder.

Ah ok. I was basically asking how much of a difference a FWI alone would be over a Aftermarket exhaust alone.

if you were behind him and he had a loud exhaust i doubt youre going to be able to hear an s/c, especially over your car.

An aftermarket cat back exhaust will give you more gains than just a FWI. But since a CAI/FWI is usually the first mod most people do, you usually have both not one or the other.

I have a CAI. I like my CAI. It sounds amazing. It's gains are pretty much unnoticeable, but it does do more than meets the eye/ear/whatever.
