Yes regal honestly what is the fastest car you have been in?
1liter something or another?

I come from always being in Mercedes and pretty much every other car other then a Yaris 100hp.... And I LOVE the feeling of an AMG car pushing you into your seat.

Here is one from just 3 days ago. E55 AMG, being modified with a larger TB, changing out the supercharger pulley(i know I cant spell right now, yawn), and other stuff.

Then I also get to drive my friends S600, 530HP to the wheels, and somewhere between 600-700+torque to the wheels. Its amazing honestly. Doing 60mph, wanting to go around someone, and too much gas will propel you past them at an unbelievable speed. Not something that has to be ever used, but its there!

Then when I get back in my Yaris, Its slow, no leather, but damn it does REAL GOOD on gas and thats ALL I worry about, that and it looks good either way!!!!!!!

So... I just took my BOMZ CAI with 3" Spectre cone filter out of my Yaris and reinstalled the stock airbox, and needless to say, there was a small yet very noticeable loss of power (according to my butt dyno). However, I've modified the snorkle and added PVC extensions (with rubber elbows) that lead right up to my bored-out fog light cover (that is covered with porch screen mesh). I'm planning on purchasing a drop-in filter in the near future.

I did this knowing well that there would be a power loss, but I got tired of my intake being noisier than my mild mannered exhaust. That definitely did the trick.

The butt dyno is about 90% psychological, no way anyone would be able to tell the difference between stock and a CAI if they weren't told what is in the car.


Does anyone have quarter mile time improvements by doing a CAI + Headers + exhaust upgrade ? IME some cars can come down a second or so.

and remember your not there to race anyone your there to test your vehicle. but the stock times for a yaris from motor trend is suppose to be

0–1320 ft (1/4 mile) 16.6 sec @ 84.4 mph


dont feel bad if your a lil slower then that. they are professionals. but you get to learn how to launch and you will be shaving 10ths of secs off soon.
