Ok to those who have my engine or even the 3.8 did you notice a little or big difference compared to the exhaust when you also hooked up the cai? That is my next mod will order it soon maybe 4 weeks I need to save some money.

I had my exhaust on first...noticed a lil gain...not really a whole lot. Exhaust was deep, but not deep enough.
As soon as i put on the intake, exhaust got A LOT louder, and throdle response improved! no more choking/hessitating.
Then the cat came into play and everythings workin great [img]smile.gif[/img]<a href=\"http://www.pbase.com/danny83/car_pix\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.pbase.com/danny83/root</a><br /><a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/ttopbird96\" target=\"_blank\">http://community.webshots.com/user/ttopbird96</a> [/URL]<br />00 NMB Formula M6<br />323.4HP, 336.5TQ<br />Lid, Filter, Cutout, all else stock :)<p>\"Let the modding begin!\"

I had my exhaust first, noticed a little gain in power. Then i added the CAI and the exhaust tone definitly improved. I don't know if i was expecting too much but i didn't notice a great increase in power or throttle response from the combo of exhaust/cai
I get better response at highway speeds, but everyday driving around town feels pretty much the same as it did w/stock airbox and K&N filtercharger. I'm not dissapointed in the CAI, I'm glad i got it. I guess i need a few more mods.
Planning on getting the Jet Stage II chip next w/the 160 stat.
What else would you add to my combo to get more power??????<b>94 Firebird, 3.4 V6, Red, M5</b><br /> SLP CAI, Accel 8mm Superstock Wires, Bosch Platinum +4 Plugs, Borla Exhaust, BMR Strut Tower Brace, 180* Thermostat, B&M Ripper Shifter<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/94bird\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/94bird</a>

No, I have the stock I-Pipe. Maybe I should look into getting a larger one.
