Gen 3 Intake - Topspeed Test Pipe Install?

rhd · 08-04-2012, 06:28 PM

Just got my TopSpeed test pipes delivered to the house today. I am ordering a Stillen G3 intake next week.

I was thinking of installing both at the same time (easier to get to the demon bolts with the intake out) I was reading.

Based on how the ECU reacts to minimize CELs, should I install one before the other and run the car? or does it even matter much?

I will not be able to tune this setup until later this month.

Thanks

PS - I currently have a complete CNT CBE installed now.

I would try to get a baseline dyno first, and then when you got everythig add the mods and tune all at once to see your gains

I agree with getting a baseline. You should be fine with test pipes and intakes. If or when you do exhaust, a tune is highly recommended.
