Does the injen intake put out 14 more HP like they say it does for the VQ30.
I have the stillen intake now and was thinking of getting the injen if this is true.

 

it won't get you any more than your stillen... and neither really gets 14hp

 

but it looks like the injen would get more cold air.
Maybe it gets like 2 more than the stillen lol .

 

you'll never notice the difference

I have an injen and like the sound but it's probably not worth trading

 

you could get up to 15 whp along with exhaust....

 

please be clear about this... are you saying "an intake and exhaust will get up to 15hp" or "if he takes off his current stillen intake and adds injen and exhaust he'll gain 15hp over just the stillen" ?

former, yes... latter, no way.

adding exhaust and just about ANY intake will add 15 hp. There is no magic in an injen that makes it that much better than a stillen

 

no shyt, I gained 15whp with my franken/bpipe combo-

I'm quite sure without some sort of midpipe/piping the gains wont be the same ( so not so sure with the stillen cone alone ~4hp- same as a panel filter)

 

just to make this clear you gained 15hp when you went

stock -->franken/bpipe

NOT

stillen --> injen/bpipe

you made it sound like if he switches from stillen to injen and adds a bpipe he'll be 15hp more than with stillen. 15hp more with either intake + bpipe... that I totally believe.

 

Stillen has no midpipe whatsoever- and theres no proof in the dyno forum that it gains much (same as JWT ~4hp ) That why most are buying berk/franken midpipes and attaching these cone heads on them

Frankencar tested their Intake w/ custom exhaust
and I'm quite sure Injen did also- similar figs

 

ok, the exhaust thing is throwing a wrench in this...forget that

give me your opinion... when he went from stock to stillen what did he gain?

when I went from stock to injen what did I gain?

if he goes from stillen to injen what will he gain/lose? (simple arithmetic on numbers above)

 

Stillen pop intake to injen will net you maybe 1-2 wheel horsepower. add a frankencar midpipe to your stillen and you get about 1-2 wheel horsepower. That's about it.

 

he gained up to 4hp....same as a OEM K&N panel filter claims

Sounds like you need to dyno....

 

sorry to burst your bubble but you if say know you gained 15hp from the franken/exhaust combo it's very doubtful half of the gain came from franken. More like 12hp from the exhaust and 3-4 from franken.

 

my bubble speaks for itself.... I have dyno figs on my homepage (pg.4) Stock 6speeds put out from 202-205 whp

other people have dynoed and noticed a 5whp (not 5hp) increase with a b pipe

So if I gained 15 whp- the crank hp gain is a larger figure

If it says the JWT/Stillen claim 4hp (you are talking 1-2 whp)

 

so if i have done an obx catback and add frankencar intake, i should see about 15 whp or 15hp? or am i all ate up?

 

thats what I thought it would be, about 1-2 more hp over the stillen but i thought i should get a second opinion befor I dish out 250$ so I guess I will just keep the stillen. And maybe think about a pulley kit

 

i highly doubt an exhaust will add 15 hp to the wheels let alone an intake adding that much by itself

 

man thats a big hp rating ! we sing this song alot over in the 4th gen forums. i would say they are all close to same hp but the injen is very nice looking in the engine bay.

 

This has been hashed over so many times. The FrankenCar w/midpipe has proven time and again to add up to 2 hp more than the Injen. Nobody will ever tell the difference in just 2hp. The Injen looks and is designed much better than the FrankenCar and frankly speaking, FrankenCars customer service is non exhistant. Once you have the product, they will never respong to you again. FrankenCar is run by imature young kids and Injen is well respected company that will respond to your questions. I wish I had purchased an Injen.

 

Don't burst my bubble too badly, but I just bought a Berk intake on a group deal. .org rumor has that it's essentially the same as the Frankencar intake, but you actually have a chance of seeing you product within a week or two. I'll take the free 2 hp gladly if the only difference is engine aesthetics.

 

personally, i've felt that the injen doesn't provide much performance for me on the highway (most of my driving). The car struggles at high rpms at highway speeds when i pass cars or when i have fun with local org members. Obviously without dynos and hard data it can never be proved, but its just my feeling.

Hence I sold my injen and got a frankencar. Also, a local 4th gen org member ran multiple back to back runs with a mid pipe intake and with just a pop charger and got consistently better times and slighty higher trap speed with just the pop charger.

 

This is kind of a change of subject, but whats the difference between the Place Racing CAI and the Injen RD CAI? I haven't seen many pics of the Place Racing, but I did help install an Injen on my friend's Atli 3.5 Se. The Injen sits very low in the engine bay, pretty much in the wheel well. So where is Place Racing CAI located? I know you have to drill into the wheel well, but where exactly?Anyone have decent pics of their PR CAI? Also where's the best place to pick one up? I've only seen them on custommaxima.com, but they only list 00-01 max.... even though they show a picture of it installed on a 3.5VQ
Sorry guys kind of a newb
