Hi!!

I'm wondering which kit is the best for performance:

- SRI (Cobb/Nano) / ETS TMIC 3.25" / Test pipe

OR

- CAI ( Injen/CPE) / Downpipe

Or they give same results?

Thanks for your help ;)

I'm not sure which would be better but why not consider the COBB SRI and Downpipe. The DP has the racepipe on it already.

downpipe will give the most results, but is a pain the install and the combo on a CAI and a DP will be a LOT more expensive, and a HELL of a lot harder to install

Thanks for your reply ;)

I was thinking about the CPE or Cobb catted Downpipe. I already have a TMIC/ SU test pipe and Piasini Tune on my car but I havn't seen too much difference between the ETS and the stock one in performance. So I'm wondering if a sell the TMIC and the Test pipe, I can buy a catted downpipe. Do you think it's worth? I don't mind about the installation of the downpipe...

About the intake, I think it's better to get the SRI only with a bigger TMIC.

Get DP, SRI, and probably wait for the TRZ TMIC.

The TRZ TMIC is going to be the same thing as the ETS. Same gains have been reported so far. For 700 bucks I would rather get a FMIC. Zaka you are honestly the 1st person ive seen who didn't see a diff with the TMIC. Just wondering buy why would you want to sell your TMIC / test pipe to get a DP?? Why dont you just wait until you have enough cash for a downpipe and add it on. That way you wont end up losing money selling used parts.

Also just FYI the 3.25 and 3.5 ETS TMIC's have the same gains on the stock turbo. You only need the bigger core if you upgrade your turbo. Bigger is not always better.

The TMIC is a quick install so if you have time reinstall the stock TMIC and see how it is. If you dont notice the difference than you butt dyno needs some calibration :).
