had to remove the lower section.. so i now have a setup like a short ram.. TB, pipe, MAF, cone filter. is this bad? notice a slight loss in low end power but revs up like crazy.. anyone done this??

 

i doubt this is a problem at all.Shouldnt feel any different eithr.

 

i did that b4 but i actually had a great increase in low end power and torque and loss in the high end.

 

Had CAI. Had short ram. Now have stock airbox.

Aftermarket intakes do little to nothing for us. So I'll stick with a stock airbox and have better filtration.

I'll be looking for a 5th gen airbox soon.

 

I would think you doing that would increase high end and loose low end. But yeah i think intakes shift hp usually more than gain it. Although the injen CAI looks good. I cant use it cause im lowered and live in ny.

 

yeah i was sitting on agx and sprints. every time it rained i would picture my intake acting like a straw.. scared me alot. but never had a problem.


power wise.. dont really care much.. just as long as it wont damage anything.. the car is fragile.. i do one thing something else breaks.. its a balance game... lol

 

Injen sucks. I made a thread about it somewhere, with the lower part on, the top end SUCKS..seriously, past 5500rpm, it took FOREVER to hit redline, even longer then it should have, the usim sucks power bad up top too. I converted it to a short ram, and given it wasnt as loud, because i was using the stock intake resonator still, but the power was there, perhaps a slight loss in low end but mid-top was greatly improved!

What i recommend doing is using your stock midpipe, with the stock intake resonator, that way your filter is back in the stock location and isnt taking in all that hot rad air..

Oh and im sure it does help, i took off the splash shield that is right infront of the tranny to help circulate some cold air in there while driving.
