So i just got done installing my 2.4l mani and damn does that thing work well and sound great. but one question, i have a 07 and i seen in other trends that the 07s dont need the adapter plat that comes with it, is this true, cause i left it in would there be any gains to taking it back out? cause all i would have to do is remove the T/B. Oh and one more question, i found a site that has headers and downpipe combos. and the d/p come with or with out a cat, and of coarse the one with the cat is more$$$. would there be any problem with going with a catless d/p?

 

going catless will make it alot louder. and if your state has emissions testing you will fail. also your cel will be on unless you dummy it somehow

 

i have not clue about the adapter plate but i would get a catted d/p for the reasons stated above^^^^

 

thanks guys
well there goes more money into my car. lol oh well its always worth it

 

u rely seen a huge gain? when i installed mine i couldnt feel anything. but congrats

 

as i understand the 2.4 mani swap gives u quite the gain in top end power..

 

Did yours come with that plastic insert piece?

 

i would not say huge but you could deffently tell there was more power

yes it did thats the adapter im talking about

yes it does and i love it.lol its worth 245$ for me anyday..lol

You don't need the adapter plate on. Did mine today and it was harder than I thought. I didn't think I was going to have to make the MAP sensor hole bigger plus the old manifold took a long time to come out. And wow the car does pull a lot harder, especially on highway/tollroads. Feels like a 20hp increase.

And about the DP, I would kep your factory cat on for alot of reasons. Without it you will throw a code plus your car gets mixed signals about the afr. Second, it will be much louder, like ricer loud. third, you will notice no gains in power unless it is SC or TC.

 

im at 86th and michigan, not too far so its possible

 

yes it is...im heading to greenwood tonight dont know if anyone will be out there but oh well it will give me something to do i guess..lol

 

That's not true at all...there are gains with a LSJ or aftermarket DP. It's a WHOLE lot better than that little stock DP. As far as codes go, some will throw codes, but not all do. Of course it's going to be louder, but not horribly loud...it's a larger/freer flowing piece.

I don't know where you got the info about no gains unless you're FI...

 

sorry for the noob question, but what all did you do to the intake? assuming you only changed intake/tb..., what parts? all info greatly appreciated!

 

i went down there at about midnight last night and saw at least 9 people pulled over. i didnt stay long... i'll be going again tonight earlier around 10. hopefully there won't be as many cops

 

yea same here, i was on 31 heading back to downtown and there was like 4 cops 2 on the left side and to on the right side and every cop had someone different pulled over, and i was like damn that sucks, and then there was this jeep that was just driving and the ******* wheel feel off! lol i thought it was the funnest thing that whole night,lol but yea il be down there sometime tonight dont really know when tho

 

haha wow thats funny.. i didnt see you tonight. but the cops were worse than last night.

i was sitting in the parking lot where all the cars meet and there was a mustang with at least 20s and he did a small burnout and there was a cop passing on 31. the cop pulled the mustang over right infront of everybody and if thats not embarassing enough, both the driver and passenger get arrested. funny stuff

 

damn that must suck...for them, thats what they get or being stupid, yea i didnt end up going there had some **** that came up.

 

thats alright, not really much goin on.
