JMC do you think the intake gave you the biggest boost or do they both work hand in hand. By the way for anyone reading these postings. New Zealand and Australia have cheap "used" parts for Outlanders. I bought a speedo cluster (silver) for $200 US. I bet the performance stuff is equally cheap.

they work hand in hand... one compliments the other. being able to suck the air in only helps when it can spit it out... you dont have to do both, but doing so would help the most.

hey guys i called up power effect where they sell the battlez exhaust and they wanted to sell me all kinds of stuff for around$340 thats not including installation or fabrication. that price is only for parts. on the picture i see a nice chrome pipe with a muffler which i wouldnt mine paying that price for since i would be able to bolt it up myself. but for that price i could get a custom exhaust with my cats gutted and probably gain more than 4-5 hp. and besides i wanted to see if i could run the muffler to the left side just so i could be different.

the question is do you want to pay for the looks. most people really dont need chromed or stainless exhaust. The only advantage to stainless is the fact that it resists rusting. id say find a local shop and get an in and you could have them fabricate one for much less. Dual cat back
. maybe even ask the guys if they do it in their spare time. a guy i worked with at the ford dealer had a pipe bender at home and did the work they were not allowed to do at the dealer. ie cat removal... oversizing pipes...

$340sounds right..............I got a deal from a friend who owns a shop so I did a little better than just buying own from a dealer.
This exhaust is looks and power!
WOO!

You guys that did the intake and muffler upgrade ....did you notice a difference in MPG?
And did you use a CAI when doing the intake upgrade or just a K&N drop in ?
I have a 03 Outlander 2.4L AWD.
I want to get rid of the narrow stock intake .
You'll notice a slight difference in MPG.
The first thing I did when I got the Outlander was order a K&N Filter.
Then I went CAI...............

But is it REALLY Cold Air the intake is sucking in ?
Since most CAI are stuffed in the engine bay the air is not as cool as it is in the fender or up front.
Any gains in HP and MPG with your CAI and do you have pics of it.
The ones I have seen are for the Lnacer and all it is is a adapter for the end of the MAF and a cone filter.
I want something more effieciant than looks.
You can go Cone Filter or full CAI........Either way there will be a slight difference.
The only true way to find out for sure is to do it yourself.............
