Tell me what these mods would do for my TIMES:

What would an aluminum driveshaft do to my 1/4 mile and 0-60?
What would a full exhaust do to my times (Hooker headers, and catback w/cat)?
How about just a new open element filter?
What would I expect from all three mods?

  • Pioneer 3-way 6x9s, soon to add more more more!

Aluminum driveshaft- very little maybe .05 sec off your 1/4 mile

Hooker headers, and catback w/cat - This would wake your engine up probably .7 - 1.0 off your 1/4 mile

open element filter - This helps a little bit I'm guessing .1-.2 sec.

I'm not as familiar with TBI engines as I am carbed engines so maybe someone with a TBI car can give a better estimate but will all 3 mods I would guess you would drob about 1 sec off your 1/4 mile maybe a little more or less depending on the health and tuning of your engine.
