I need to fill in a questionnaire about my car for the Superchips Flashpaq tuner web site/database. Because this database needs to be accurate I'm hoping someone can help me clarify the following terminology:

Under "Please pick the performance modification(s) you have made to your vehicle", there is an entry for "Intake Manifold". I have a K & N CAI but do not know if this covers any change to the IM. Under "Intake Manifold" I'm offered the following options:

- Aftermarket Manifold
- Ported or modified manifold
- Stock ported

Which of these do you think applies to my car?

Similarly, under "Exhaust", I have Magnaflow Axelbacks and do not know if I am supposed to describe the mod as:

- Cat back only
- Full Dual exhaust
- Full single exhaust
- Cat back and H or X pipe
- None

I aologise for my ignorance but would appreciate an assist so that I can know that the tuner database is correct re. my vehicle. Many thanks in anticipation.

 

I would do cat back only on the exhaust, but as to the CAI, this needs to be MODEL SPECIFIC. A generic answer will not be sufficient info. I would talk to a human if I were you. It is not really a manifold, it is an intake to the throttle body/ airbox replacement.

 

I'm confidant in the intake option, but not so
on the exhaust.....

 

You can just choose the cat back.
This has no bearing on the programs that you are downloading, it is just for marketing at this point.

Cat back and H or X pipe does affect performance, whereas axle back has only minimal performance affect at best. It should be None, since axlebacks are mufflers, and are not considered an exhaust system.

 

This depends on the car. On 05-07 Mustangs, mufflers or cat-back has no appreciable effect on power.

On other cars cat-back might make a big difference. But in this case there is no difference between catback and axle-back (Except the price).
