Has anyone "chipped" their Outlander or improved the air intake form better breathing? I am wondering who (if anyone sells the chips). If anyone has done any minor mods like these could you please post and also let us know the performance increase that you received.....Thx

 

Muffler and Intake are the only Mods I've done.......makes a big difference.
They probably make a chip for the Outlander...I would not buy any of that shiot they sell on eBay.

 

if you are going to "chip" it, do it right. JET chip. But make all your other mods first. they will tune the chip to the current mods. deffinately intake and exhaust first. then think about the chip.

 

Good call WildWest!!!!!

 

When you say "Jetchip"..I called them and they say they don't do the Outlander. I'm not sure if I spoke to the right person though. JMC when you say intake and muffler what exactly did you do and did you have to reprogram the chip after. Also how much additional HP did you get? Is your Outlander 2003/2004? Allso how noisey is the new muffler. I don't what a loud car. Anyone do a catback?

Thanks for your help...

 

K&N fipk or typhoon intake. cat back, decent muffler with a low backpressure but still semi quiet and non angry bee. JET is just one company that does chips. Look around either for a piggyback or a place that you can send your chip into and they will reprogram. either will run you 100-200 dollars. 5-10 hp for the intake. 10 for the exhaust. 10-30 hp for the chip depending on how aggressive you ask them to make it.

 

also if you are really wanting to spend some money and make her sing. fuel controller to boost fuel pressure. ported intake runners and throttle body. internals if you have time & money...

 

Thanks Wildwest. I'm just a bit concerned about extra noise. I definately don't want a whole lot more. I had a catback on my old Audi A4 and ended up taking it of. The Outlander doesn't have the same sound proofing so would hate that "drone" at speed. Any coments would be much appreciated.

 

what kind of cat back did you have... they also make adjustables. or you could look at the turboflow or spiral flow mufflers. Ive heard alot of good things about the spiral flow.

"Tuned" exhaust will be louder though. When you are looking up different systems try to see what rpm range they are tuned for. I dont know if manufactures give out that information. We made our own. it is just a slightly longer or shorter pipe to make it flow the best (loudest) at a certain rpm range. find a higher rpm tuned exhaust and it will be the loudest above normal cruising rpm.

Undercoat the car?

 

Thx. I'll do more research and let you know what happens....
