I'm looking to get an injen intake for my auto, but i hear a lot of people saying that it will cause a loss in the lower end power (not a good thing for me)........ does anyone have a dyno of this, also is it even a good idea to get the injen intake for an auto??

i would love the input...

 

I have a manuel and I felt more of a torque loss from the exhaust than when I put the intake on but there is some. It sounds and pulls incredibly though at 3200rpm and up though so I would say it's worth it.
I don't see why it should be diff with an auto

 

Hey, I have the injen installed on my automatic tC along with the precision muffler exhaust, there is some torque loss, very very minimal. I have heard that you get more low end loss if you have it in SRI instead of CAI. Mine has been in SRI for the longest time and it sounds great from 3k and above. Strange enough i'm rarely up there anymore.. haha...

 

anyone else??

 

2007 AUTO tC Injen CAI only

 

which color is which

 

I"m just gonna guess that the red line is base and the green line is with the intake. I cant imagine a loss in both tq and hp after the installation, so the higher one must represent the car with the intake.

 

anyone gettin really crappy mpg after installing the CAI on their auto? I am.. =/

 

maybe w/ it being louder, u have a heavier foot now, i kno i did the first week, now i've went back to my normal cruising habits.

 

how much louder is it..... I dont want it to sound ricey or annoying

 

^^ LOL... I'm glad to see you have your head on straight but it isn't that kind of loud. Don't worry it sounds subtle but sweet.

 

will it screw the engine up if i get a lot of rain where i live?? (puddles)

 

No. Unless it floods in your area you have nothing to worry about it. And If it does then just convert it to sri mode during your rainy season

 

do you have sound clips by any chance....

 

on the dyno it says theres a gain in tq and hp..... if thats true why is everyone saying they are feeling a tq loss with the intake

 

I'm looking into getting an Injen CAI also for my auto. Good thread. There's a guy on the sponsored sales selling them. I got quoted 235 shipped

 

O man, i just realized that dyno sheet shows the stats above 3.5K rpm, i usually accelerate around 2-2.5K, i wonder how the gains/loss is around that area. O, and you'll find plenty of sound clips on youtube.

 

Just do a search for sound clips man. Aint hard. Youtube.com, streetfire.net, etc etc

 

that was the scenario for the first couple of weeks... but now like i drive normal....and i went down a quarter tank with street driving only like 40 milesish

 

Hey me too! Actually I had a black one last year but I sold it. I'm really regretting it now.
