Induction Kits

[handicap7]

Good Evening

Ok lets have some honest answers please! I have been lurking around the forums for a while now and i am especially interested in postings regarding gaining a little extra power from my CTS. However i can never seem to read a definitave answer as to the question on induction kits, all i ever seem to see is that they make the car sound better and use more fuel? So is it worth spending between £100-250 on something that does not offer much in the way of a power increase but does use more fuel, oh and sounds good in a tunnel! Or would i be better of spending the money on a new set of springs to improve the handling/performance. If anyone has made some distinct improvements in performance by fitting an induction kit then i would love to know. I would also like to know which ones you favour most.

Hi Mate, ive got the K&N Typhoon cost about £190, sounds soooo much better and believe it or it's improved my fuel consumption bout 2/3 mpg more :D . Did'nt really notice any gains in performance though .

combine the typhoon with the tte exhaust(if i remember rightly) same as gem's then your looking at 201bhp fairly good gain in my books :)

Is the TTE exhaust the one fitted to the compressor? if so how do you get around the single to twin exhaust, would you need to buy a new rear bumper to accomodate?

The TTE exhaust is just a single backbox with twin pipes.

Thanks damo, still a bit confused about the exhaust though? i have a T-Sport and the exhaust needs no manipulation to fit, but i am fairly sure that the comps twin exhaust is either fitted through the bumper or the bumper is specifically cut to accomodate.

Also any idea on a price for the TTE pipe?

the twin pipes sit under the back bumper, someone posted a pic a while back, cant remember who.

not sure about the price im sure gem will be able to tell ya if shes around some time.

or ask chris or parts king they shall know as they work for toyota me thinks :)

lose the induction kit, apply drain pipe to the standard OE air filter, and you get a ram pressure increase. the faster you go the mroe air you get.
