im waiting on aem cold air. sorry i could not be of more help.

 

alot of places seem to sell this intake I am gonna wait until Aftermarket companies start producing legit ones...prices will go down....that looks basically homemade.

 

just noticed that site sells a flame throwe kit as well.....thats a red flag for quality haha :D

 

Dude seriously I don't knw who you are but you really need to think before you type. Its a very legit company. let me guess you want AEM or something like that? Your paying for the name man. Id rather, but a product that puts out more for less.

 

so the dyno that they have for that intake seems legit?

i really could care less about the namebrand, as long as im at least getting some extra power from the intake

 

Yes very legit. I talked to them.

 

one more thing, if i get that intake and the injen axle back exhaust, would the injen make up for the loss of low end power from the intake?

 

Hey man, no not really axle back isn't really give u anything except sound. You want full performance go Cat-back. If you look at the dyno man, you can notice you really dont loose much or any at all low end.

 

I think the intake looks legit, but $229 is kinda steep. The dyno plot may be true but it all depends on the dyno used since each type is different and some read higher than others. Not to mention the car in the picture has a header on it so it makes me wonder if thats the car used for the dyno.

 

for the difference b/w short ram and CAI the 1-2 hp is really no big deal im gonna order my short ram tomorrow...removing the cats and headers will net u some decent power.....but even changing the stock muffler for the mean time like i did will make a differnce u can feel so...hmm ....maybe i should wait...damn.... nevermind!

 

Lol dude the dyno with just the intake has just that, then there is a seperate dyno for the one with headers and Intake. lol

Well I'll let you all knw since Im purchasing their Intake(SR) HEader and Tb. Ill dyno and post it up. If the dyno is different then the site is full of ____, but its not my money so I don't care.

 

must be nice....lol

 

i usually say that about other people's money!
you're silly dude. must be your mom's money???
it's pretty easy for scammers to throwing crap on the market for us power hungry tC owners who want to fly for cheap.
my recommend you stay cool for a while and give the after market time to create some quality products. THEEEEEEN wait for some reviews.
just be cool, enjoy your tC. it's a sweet ride.

 

Once again you have the non-thinking people of the forum. No its not my mommys money! I really hate when people make stupid assumptions like that.

Its my friends money who owes me for a my nitrous kit I installed on his car. Hey, like I said, wouldn't you rather have someone else spend the money to make sure its legit then lose your own?

 

figures are gonna very depending on how good the run is and the conditions but to be honest the gain seems huge for that i would think that somethign else is on there with it..... custom intakes can get good results.....it might be worth it to just go name-brand so good luck.....if you get it fill us in

 

if he owes you money for services you provided, isnt that technically your money?

just wondering.

 

i want that header, looks sweet. wonder if it throws a CEL. probably does.

everyone saying the headers are throwing CELs.
i've heard a few sound clips of intake/header/exhaust and that shizz is loud!
as much as i want to squeeze the most out of my Chief Sakion (iron chef anyone?) i can't stand to roll in a loud @$$ ride.
slowpoke, you're deluded. when someone owes you money, that does make it yours. sorry for the mommy joke, she must have just sprung for the car, huh?

 

Techincally no. Like I said its his money. No unlike you my mommy didn't buy my car. And seriously why is everyone whining about throwing a CEL.

Anyways the gains are really not that suignificant, Imo I would say it just means our tC's are very restrictive? Im excitied to see how the project turns out, fir anyone who is w8in for my results just plz be patient.
