Um, no. CAGS was designed to prevent the gas guzzler tax. It comes
into play when:
you're in 1st gear (of course) and
you're at 35% throttle or less
and you're between 15 and 21 mph and
engine coolant temperature is greater than 171 F (77 C)
This will energize the skip-shift solenoid and force a 1st to 4th shift,
and presumably, save gas. What is really does is force you to lead-foot
around town like a speed junkie! :)
It really has nothing to do with noise, and is VERY easily defeatable,
even with OBDII cars. This is the very first mod I did to my car. Uncle
Sam can bite me...
