Hey Guys,
I am at the point where I would like to add an aftermarket cold air kit to my wife's 06 4.0 Automatic Vert. Currently, it has true duals with flowmaster mufflers and a drop in K&N. I know that I am not going to get a lot of performance gains but I want the cleaner underhood appearance. What kits have you all used and what kind of issues have you run into? I had a friend who put a BBK cold air kit on his 08 4.0 and was very pleased. He did not have to use a handheld tuner and his CEL didn't come on after resetting his computer once. I have also heard that the throttle response from the drive-by-wire system can be tuned up a little through a hand held tuner. Is that true for the V6's? If going with a kit with a tuner is the better route I will hold off till I have the funds for that. If it is about the same either way, I may go ahead with the BBK kit. Also, I understand all of the other benefits of a hand held tuner but this car will probably never see a track and she has no interest in a hotter tune because she does not want to have to run premium fuel in it. I am interested in the throttle response issue because I feel that there is a little lag there between when I hit the pedal and when the car moves. She says I am crazy, but she switched to this car from a 4cyl Saturn so the difference is night and day to her anyway. Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer. Have a great day!
