two words.

it sucks. no power gain and no sound gain

 

you get what you paid for. it is a drop-in air filter. not a miracle maker

 

LOL.

 

And you were expecting...?

 

i was expecting at least sound difference due to higher airflow, the cheap way instead of getting a shortram.

 

you cant expect to gain SOUND with a just a filter change, and dont even think about power.

 

i wasn't thinking of power. just change of filter

since the k&n short ram intake is pretty much the same concept, get get the k&n "drop in filter" and a better piping from the intake to the engine.

 

it is not the same concept, The different is the stock Air Box.
The air box will still muffle the sound.

 

didnt someone dyno this filter and found power loss? LOL i think its in the Injen thread.

 

hmmm i removed the resonator and pluged it in with a 1 inch cap. that helped a little with sound. however there is a "secondary" filter on the top part of the intake box. is it ok to break that? i read it some where people said just poke it. im afraid taht might stirr up some CEL

 

Just by a short ram

 

its ok to plug that hole, that 2nd filter is ok to remove completely and if you drill some holes in the bottom of your airbox you will hear a sound difference. make them about 1" in diameter

 

you guys are worried about the sound?

 

Yeah it gained 0 WHP and lost 1 WTQ. I modified my stock box to accept a 3 in ram-air tube which makes a difference. If you don't plan on ram-air don't waste your money, get a good intake instead.

 

My turbo setup sound changed dramatically with the k&n filter from OEM. Muffles way less than the OEM filter did. I tested it for ____s and grins on the dyno and saw a few ponies and tq but turbo is much more receptive to things like that than N/A.

 

if you're looking for both power and sound i recommend getting Injen's cold air intake. i love mine and i definitely feel an increase in top-end power, sounds amazing too

 

yeha thers only 1 tc in my town and shes down the street

 

When I had this setup I took that resonator off and put a plug in there. Then I punched out the white filter in the top of the airbox, dropped in a k&n air filter and took off the pipe that went into the fender... Thats the closest youll get to a shortram with the stock airbox IMO... But I eventually got a real CAI!

 

You can always get install a G.F.I. ...
