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???

wow sorry i asked, really don't appreciate the ricer remarks...
as for being retarded, twin loop exhaust were created to maintain a good flow while being alot quieter than other muffler styles. I had one, and it did exactly that. The only thing was that it was on a v6 and not a 4 cylinder, so i just wanted to know how a 5sfe would pair up with it. -------------------- i love how my wheel hopping, corner rolling, one wheel wonder celica looks XD |

I'm not calling you retarded, nor ricer! (lol, i'm the last person to call someone else out  ) But really, the only application i've ever seen them applied was to civics and lancers for volume increase. It just recycles back pressure & exhaust after the prime cat.  i just dont understand the point of it. As for the SRI; it's not even a noticeable difference. Really it helped me, but half of my air intake box was gone when i bough the car. It just got it up to stock for me  But that's because i bought a totaled Celica  CAI you might find a few horses in... like 3-5? idk, i dont have CAI. some people have reported 12HP increase, but i dont believe it's possible. nor does anyone else except for these 2-3 people who have reported the 12hp increase... CAI paired with independent headers and higher flow cats + 2.5-3 inch all the way back should squeeze you a few horses. Paired with better plugs you might get 12-15... MAYBE?! just a guess... but adding up all of these things together equals that... Good luck with that. (IMO, i have a 5sfe, DD style, and i'm still going turbo  but that's the route i want to take. Otherwise, N/A will never get much with the shear tinyness of our engines. 2j swap maybe?)
