induction kit is the best for this car since my exhaust that i added slowed my car down...i need a good intake to give it a boost

No car is un-soopable just some are more soopable than others. some need alot more spent on them
than others.
All the good old fashioned tuning methods work on a 2.8 12v just its alot of money for not alot of gain compared to a turbo motor.

i forgot the make (doope) stainless exhaust, has a 2.5 inch opening and two big pipes going out..
do you think the resonator will make a big change if i take it out or change it to a better one?? and my cat's were making a weird noise for like a month now so im sure they are slowing my ish down too - but need a good cold air induction kit for the 2.8 12v or anything for some horses cuz its too slow for me (i know i bought the wrong engine model for sure)

weird.......my 2.5" Brullen exhaust certainly helped the car's power......
although I do have an intake too....click the link below....
Removing the resonator should help in theory, but from everything I've heard it's not much of a difference, and makes the car a lot louder.
Certainly an intake will help a bit, maybe that's the problem....but it still sounds bizarre that an exhaust would slow the car down. Gotta be something wrong with that exhaust....somehow it's MORE restrictive than the stock exhaust.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/783001.phtml">lltek intake + custom heatshielding</a></li></ul>

hmmm..interesting, the guys who installed it used a flex pipe - your think that makes a dif.?
instead of a solid pipe bent to shape...cause this wasnt a drop in eshaust for an audi and i got it used...maybe something is wrong with it..

could be.....really good exhaust systems use mandrel-bent pipes......
mandrel bending creates smooth bends with no kinking or crushing of the pipes at the bend points.
What does this felx pipe look like? Does it have all sorts of kinks and joints in it? That would not be good. Think about how racers go to great lengths to actually polish the insides of their headers and such to reduce friction.
