Hi, recently I've been interested in doing the gab mod and I'm wondering if anyone know if there are any performance gains.
Can anyone confirm that having only 4 holes will be more benificial for sound and performance?
Anyone have any videos so I can hear the difference? Thanks

 

nope. nothing comes to mind.

as for the sound part, do it and be your own professor lol. Performance might gain 1 hp if that. Sound though is like a g35 imo ESPECIALLY in cabin with a 6mt. Do it clean, no risks. Definitely worth it. Just make sure it's clean so it doesn't look like you "cheese cut" up your intake.

 

I would honestly just do use the "wire hanger method"...that's what I did and it sounds good from inside at 2500+. It takes about 5 mins to do and you dont have to destroy your car in the process if you mess up

 

I prefer the wire frame method as opposed to mutilating my stock filter holder.

 

Yeah, do the wire one. I have mine like that. It sounds amazing and it's reversible if you ever want to go back to stock (you never know)

 

I wouldn't trust a wire hanger to stay in place all the time. I think the holes actually look less ghetto than a coat hanger in my intake.imo At any rate you can make a home made short ram for like $20...

 

I think there was someone that actually put 2 holes instead of 4 and said that there was better pull from the car. I dont remember who tho..

 

 

Tell me your kidding and mean it!! that is bull SH**. Man up guys and get a real intake for $20 and have it actually look good.

 

Nope, some guy had it dyno'd. With less holes, there is more of a vacuum. Im sayin thats what he said thats all!

 

I actually tried a "real" intake, I still like the GAB better, butt dyno estimates better numbers

 

I believe it was irish44j who did it, but he tested 4 holes vs. 8. I think he showed 1whp gain with 8 holes and 2whp gain with 4 holes. He also mentioned that the dyno runs may not be accurate to 1 whp so it may have just been a little fluke.

Haha......butt dyno accuracy FTW!

 

i would definitely not carve into the stock box unless u have another i would do the wire hanger mod like posted above, im actually using that rite now til spring its got a good growl performance wise ur not guna see much

 

I didn't trust the wire hanger either, especially since I did a crappy job but, I must've checked it 20 times since I did it, half of which was in the first day after going over railraod tracks at a good clip and haven't had any problems...

...wow, that was a long sentence.

 

ya ive been using the GAB with the hanger for about a month i check it all the time if u do a decent job its not going to go anyway wheres

 

i have an extra filter holder if anyone wants to buy one ..pm me

 

so he dynoed it and noticed a deffinate gain in performance....? thats bull crap he mentally wanted to feel a gain so his mind told him he did. he heard the intake for once finally and thought "oh wow this is a HP gain" you really dont gain much from an intake and your deffinatly not gunna feel much from it.

Do you bring your car to the track or compete in races a lot?

 

GAB has dyno'ed 9WHP gain and vs. short ram it doesn't lose torque down low which is dreaded by auto owners but rarely felt by 6-speed owners.
