MAN...it sounds AWESOME....IMO better than the pop alone OR the CAI alone...I just RIPS....plus I don't fell much of a power loss after 5.5K rpms now.....I LIKE....

I did the same thing with my '01... This setup is even louder then my old setup when I had a CAI... When I go WOT this thing just SCREAMS!!!!

I'm waiting for my upper portion form warpspeed, can't wait. I think that this is the single best intake setup out there, and until the frankencar intake comes for the 4th gen, this will be the way to go, IMO.

Won't the Franken Intake be the same like having a upper PR tube attached to a stillen/jwt cone?

Badaxxima

Nismo1989's selling something similar for 3rd gens. Big 2.5-3" tube replaces the OE intake tract and a popcharger on the end. Pulls hard and sounds good. I'm waiting for mine.

Is the PR tube metal, silicon, plastic or rubber?

The upper PR tube is metal like the rest of the CAI, and you can get it in any color want. Mine is black because my engine bay is all black, but it definitely makes things look cleaner. My only advice about putting in the upper pipe is to go buy a foot of 1/4" radiator hose because the upper part doesnt like to bend after being in the same position for so long.

I can't hear my CAI anymore...stupid duals

Greg's2kGLE

Do you have any sound clips?

BriGuyMax

iTrader: (1)

are you talking about the hose that connects the intake to the Idle Air control valve?

SuDZ

So you seemed to have gained more power or just more noise?

SuDZ

BriGuyMax

both

xHypex

iTrader: (1)

Excuse my ignorance, but the it's the hose that runs from the futher of the 2 hoses. I think it's the idle air control valve. When I put the PR tube on my old hose was 1) not long enough and 2) was bent at a strange angle from being on there in the same position for so long. Redmax had the same problem when he installed his CAI.

I have had my CAI for almost a year and after looking at dyno plots, cars with and without, and the infamous "butt" dyno I do not feel or see the 5.5 k rpm loss you speak of.

I am just curious how you came to this conclusion?

Thanks bags

Yoritomo

Your butt needs a tune up. J/K heh heh.

Is there any reason that the name of that IMG is ky.gif? I really hope that doesn't stand for Kentucky.

in every MODDED 4th gen 5-speed I've driven when you wind out FIRST gear there is a VERY obvious drop off in power after 5.5K RPMS....you can only really notice with your "butt" in first because it is VERY apparent...it's like it pulls like hell up to 5.5..and then kind of lets off a little....this phenomonon is pretty much gone after the addidition of the middle section...I'll find out what it does up top on my REAL dyno on Saturday...

MAX2000JP

Im gonna dyno more than your lowly 4th Gen

BriGuyMax

good for you....considering you have 32 more hp from the factory....too bad you can't keep up on the street or at the track...

MAX2000JP

You have a ton more mods than I do and a lighter car.

Bags

iTrader: (3)

Good thing I am modded then. But I am NOT a 5-speed. So maybe there is a benefit to being an AUTO . Hmmm.... after a little research of the stack of crap I have, I do not have a dyno sheet with your name on it. Do you have one that I could view/download?

I would like to see the comparison as well. Maybe a little something for me to do the next time I am at the dyno. To see how the Auto handles that.

Thanks for the info

BriGuyMax

iTrader: (1)

I won't have a dyno until this saturday...at which point I'll post my results....Nealoc187 will be dynoing too....and he has just the popcharger...so comparing the CURVES we'll see if there is less drop off with the cai midsection.

Badaxxima

I'm guessing that at high engine speeds, the stock intake tract creates a lot of turbulence and restriction for the fast moving air. Hence the dropoff after 5500RPM.

BriGuyMax

iTrader: (1)

actually most of the drop off is due to the long intake manifold runners on the 4th gen.

Badaxxima

Well yeah, I know the engines are torque-tuned, but I was offering a theory to justify others' claims of the reduced dropoff after replacing the OEM intake tract.

you just made a frankencar intake but it cost you like 100 for the JWT and 100 for the PR piece. me=145

Yeah well if it ever comes out people would be able to buy it
We're the ones hyping everything for you :P

aLRIGHT STOP TWISTING MY ARM. I'LL MAKE SOME TOMORROW AND GET SOME ADAPTERS. I'M GONNA go a little differenct for the 4th gens. polished adapters and powdercoated pipes. i have a different source for my 4th gen adapters.

mattC

iTrader: (2)

yep

Victim64

ummm.. do you have a velocity stack too, or is it just a filter??

MaxTuner

Hi, did you solve your CEL problem by switching back to JWT??? did you change any new O2 sensors???

Thanks

PCGuRu2K

iTrader: (34)

Yeah, with the Cai it seemed to just give me problems.. CEL was giving me that Bank1 & Bank2 were running lean.. So I just tooked out the Cai.. Took the upper tubing from the PR Cai & attached my JWT to the end of it. Now everything is back like the way it was when I bought the car. CEL is GONE and everything is back to normal. And it's louder too now

dmbmaxima2k2

no there is no velocity stack, the smooth straight tubing serves almost the same purpose. emax has a stillen intake with a franken ram section and he thinks it causes turbulence in the intake path, he's gonna get the regular adapter. the
tube is slightly longer so it increase the velocity of the air slightly.
