As far as the brake stand... The parking brake does the same for a front wheel drive vehicle... With our cars it's not hard at all to peel out (without using the brake)!


I heard the acceleration part in Phreakd's audio clip. Sounds cool, especially since the trd muffler makes noise from 1500-3000RPM and the intake makes noise from 0-redline. I still haven't heard someone downshifting and engine braking with both the intake and muffler. I liked the old K&Ns in pickups that would make a sucking/whoosh noise. I guess with all that displacement, more air more sound...


I definitely hear the CP-e pulling air (I hear the woosh mostly at around 2000-3000 rpms. I also have the TRD exhaust, and it definitely makes a difference. It sounds flat out mean!

I can't wait to hear what the Intake will do for me, now that I have the TRD muffler - but I can still hear a great deal more air going though the Airbox now that I have the TRD filter and the resonator removed!

I took some cruising video this am with the top down, going through the winding roads of the hills here in Ojai - and plenty of shifting action too, and waaaayyy too much tire squealing! ;) Can't wait to get the springs and stabilizer bar. I'll edit them this weekend and put 'em up if there's anything worth sharing.
