  • CAI or Rumbler...

    Ok guys, I'm getting ready to begin the modding frenzy. Early november I'll be ready to start on the I/E. Which should I do first? The SLP CAI, or the TSP Rumbler? I'm leaning toward the Rumbler right now because I really want to be able to hear it, but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

    Hey Boss,
    I'd say Intake. I think you'll like the new sound you get from the engine bay. Have you looked into having the exhaust welded? That can cost you anywhere from 50-200 dollars depending on where you go. I had a bad experience with the U clamps that come with some Exhaust systems, so i'd advise against that. Let us know how it turns out!

      I know a guy who owns a shop, so he can weld it in cheap. I'm gonna have him weld a straight pipe through my cat while he's at it too. Man I need to get a welder, would save lots of money.

                  You're biased to the LM?? If you are, you've never heard the Rumbler. Everyone I've EVER talked to that ran the LM and Rumbler on the same car agree that the Rumbler is MUCH cleaner. but hey, you got shiney tips for all that extra money :D

                    Rumbler and the pvc baffle eliminator. you will get much better performance this way. but im still in love with the electric cutout (lets me tame the exhaust when i want to ;) )

                      I've heard rumbler before and I know it sounds nice but it's not loud enough [img]tongue.gif[/img]

                        Would there be less rasp with a straight pipe, or high flow cat on the rumbler?

                          Less raspy of those three mentioned will be the Rumbler twisted.

                            lol, I guess I put that the wrong way. I'm definately going with the Rumbler, but I'm not sure if I should run a straight pipe in place of the cat, or a high flow? Which would sound better? Thanks.

                              I think with a high flow cat it will be slightly more reserved, and a little less loud. i have heard this setup once, it was very clean!
