Yep and just incase I have spare 225/40/18s I can put on. But 255 all seasons are better than bald 235 extreme summer tires lol

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
Hope this helps

Yep love my injen. Might sell off my shorty header soon and go with a slightly different setup. But these cars do respond well to a header and downpipe.

You only used the short ram on the injen didnt you? Well I read how hard it is to find an auto 2.4 header/dp that fits well.

Yeah my downpipe rubs slightly in reverse. But the headers are fine. Minus the jbp. They don't seem to fit the 2.4's... And I've ran my Injen in both short RAM and cold air. Throttle Response is better with the shortram in comfortable temps. But I run cold air during the hot summer months as the car has bogged on the hot summer air when I've sat at a stoplight.

I've got mine on the cold air and I plan to stay that way lol. except i couldnt install the vibramount bc there was something in the hole already and i cant get it out. oh well the hood makes sure it doesnt move much. I've noticed 500-600 extra rpm before shifting while WOT

The headers don't scrape or vibrate on these cars. Just some of the downpipes.
