Default No CAI, No High Flow Cat-Back = Teh Suxxors...

All I can say is...wow! I've heard numerous people complain on here about having trouble getting up hills and what not. But since I put my high-flow exhaust and CAI on my car within the first month of having it, I never got to drive it on the highway in stock form. So, I couldnt understand what everyones problem with hills could be, well, I know now. I took a trip up to the girlfreind's parents house for turkey day weekend, and on the way there, with the cruise set at 80mph, everytime I'd hit a hill it would slow down to about 70, it was frickin rediculous.....




god DAMNIT, I can't wait till spring!!!!!![:@]

That happens with me too. I increase speed before getting to the hill. I"m worse cause it's a automatic.

Why take the goods off for winter? My CAI has been through 3 nasty rainstorms and 1 whiteout blizzard, to include numerous puddles. Still plugging along too.

When I was going home for thanksgiving it was a nasty rain storm and the spray from cars and stuff soaked the filter on my CAI... made the power and MPG's dive. If we get another day like today (almost 60 in NY?!) I'm tearing off the lower pipe and running SRI for the winter.

[sm=icon_rofl.gif] lol sounds exactly like my town, the close the mall so people can have a flea market, and everytime someone brings up the option about having sunday shopping, everyone is against it, i don't know why but they are[:@]
