Questions on CAI benefits for 5sfe and twin loop mufflers Options

So before i got the celica (puma cubed) i had this badass VW passat (puma squared) that I LOVED. It was a '94 vr6 GLX. Ugly as hell but a legend around my neighborhood. Anyway i had a twin loop muffler installed and it sounded awesome. VR6 engine + twin loop catback = pure sex. my question is whether a 5sfe would respond well to a twin loop too. I know its not the best flow but its a less obnoxious exhaust and some back pressure is actually good for performance.

my other question involves the cold air intake im about to finish. So far I only have a short ram w/o a heatshield but i will be running to the fender within the week. Just how much will this do for my engine? will it feel exactly the same as my short ram or will I actually get a benefit? response? peppier? more torque???

Sorry bro. But I highly doubt you will feel any difference. Its a good idea to route the piping to the fender to keep it away from the engine heat, but will you feel any difference? Not really. Its just the fact that the 5sfe was made to be economy friendly, not for performance.
