ok ive already done this, and obviously the growl is sexy, but does it have ANY benefit besides that?

 

No.........

 

k lol just wanted to be sure. thanks for replying!

 

nothing you'll notice atleast.

 

konak is correct.

 

there has been alot of debate about this. i think i lost some low end power. at least it seems that way. other peopel have mentioned it too and i'll probably get a new box to regain that power.

 

what i did was just take out the ram air scoop and no cutting was needed.
(its still all under the hood air isnt it?)

 

He didn't ask what you did, he asked what benefits, if any, it provided besides sound ... and the real answer is no.

 

oh, whoops, i forgot to mention, i was sorta replying to chillin014 and suggesting an option. Now that he cut it, he wants to buy another one to go back to stock or he can glue it? Or he could have taken out the ram air, if he was looking for sound and simply put it back on if it did not suit him. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

I'm getting a new box because there are no benifits...unless you like the sound.

 

imho no benifits..

under hood air is VERY DIFFT from the stock setup. its taking air from the front, as you drive its way cooloer than if it was under the hood.

if anything go K&N, i d k bought them FRAM HOGS but it seems like penzoil cheapo paper is being over run by the orange

 

alot of people claim that a hacked air box does more for you than any cai or short ram intake is this true

 

Ya the olny thing it does is make is sound cool. but other then that there is no benfit at all...or atleast not noticible...

 

Wait your telling me there is no benefit to the hacked air box mod? I thought I gained like 17.7 whp...

 

here is my dyno completely stock except for my hacked air box

 

253 whp! 252 ft. lbs.! just a hacked air box, every one get one!

 

(JK! so i dont get banned)

 

haha another hacked air box thread and still gets like 20 posts.

get CAI. looks + sound = 30whp. beat that you hacked air box people!

 

cant beat my sweet *** dyno though, just from a hacked box i swear!

 

good old paint

 

I did an "A-B-A" test (had hacked AB for a while, got used to it, taped peice back in, drove around a while, then took it back out and drove some more). My butt dyno swears there is more power from 4k and up with the hack job, and since that's the only dyno i take with me everywhere i go, i left it hacked. Even though i like the sound, i'd have gotten a new airbox if i thought it was better intact.

 

i noticed last night that i cant seem to hit 120 as easily as ive done it before. on the same stretch of road i only get to around 110 this time, its kinda annoying but meh it sounds good i had hoped this thread would be dead by now lol

 

120!!! you'll get your license suspended for a long long time

 

anything is legal as long as cops dont see ....lol jk

 

i had a priest tell me and a bunch of other teenagers and parents that the 11th commandment was: "thou shalt not get caught"
and let me tell you. i live by that one and thou shalt not kill

 

A bunch of ignorant 16 year olds ...

 

haha, common NmexMAX cant i have some fun ?

 

i agree, it feels like there is more power above 4k and less under 4k than i had before.

 

between a stock airbox and a hacked stock airbox i dont think theres much diffrance than just sound and a tiny bit more air i guess.
but between a popcharger and a stock intake i think the stock one was aloooot better. with the stillen popcharger on i was so sluggish in low high and mid rage. when i put the hacked box on i noticed a giant diffrerence and a huge improvement. low end was more, mid range was more, not sure about high end. i dont realy go above 3 or 4 k. but within normal driving range rpm it was alot less boggy and more responsive. i think im faster too.

 

ya it sounds good.

I like to think it does something, but it realy doesn't

but hey its better than spending 50$ on a intake that doesn't do anything either..lol

 

well trust me this is the only road i speed on around here. its 10 miles outside of town and about 3 miles long with 100% visibility, so i dont have to be paranoid. and ya its fun.... i caught air yesterday that will make a great pic.. but i know i know im a noob at driving

 

.........

...........

 

caught air ?? hahaha nice

 

ya im planning on going back to stock, i got it sitting next to me. Anyone want to buy my weapon R for 100 bucks ^^
Also i thought it was fine to put a cone filter on the end of the stock mid pipe and dont lose anything. I think the stock box is very closed and doesnt get in alot air.
