Suggestion as to what to buy.It was by Steve someone (sorry cannot find the name again)
Both a CAI and a WAI will give you similar gains in torque. The difference is that with a WAI, it will hold the torque up to higher RPM's better than a CAI, which in turn gives you more horsepower. Horsepower is a function of torque multiplied by RPM.
The longer the tubing, the more restrictive it will be at high RPM's. So a CAI will give you the poorest top-end peak horsepower gains, and the power will fall off faster than with a hybrid (medium length tube) or POP (short length tube)
On the otherhand, for low-RPM power, you actually *want* some restriction, so a CAI will actually help you with low-end. A short POP intake has the shortest length so it will give you the highest top-end (horsepower) gains, but the poorest low-end performance.

So what brand name WAI from what I gather with this post will give me the most power at upper RPM's. Thanks.

FrankenCar air intakes are NOT the only air-intakes that screw up the MAFS there are other brands too and also even without an air-intake installed (factory-airbox) MAFS are known to screw up. From what I know/researched the 5TH Gen MAFS are just poorly designed. Sorry to bring up the whole MAFS thing up again(The topic has been talked-about to death already) I think you should do a "SEARCH" regarding 5TH Gen MAFS. There are plenty of threads regarding the pro's and con's. BTW Ozzfather I suggest you get a FrankenCar air intake. But then again thats just me. "To each is own."
But i thought that the Frankencar hybrids were screwing up the maf on 02s?? is this correct???
so is there any answer yet on why the 02 mafs are screwing using frankencar intakes??
