Well I'm just debating how much hp I would get from this intake compared to the Stillen intake I have.

 

Your Stillen intake is a warm air, under the hood right? If you get the PR CAI and use the cold air extention, you will get a HP increase. Not sure of how much though. But it is a scientific fact that cold air into the engine makes more hp. If you are going to use the top section and keep it under the hood, it may not make a great difference, but should make some with this filter.

 

relax....do people have any patience these days? 1500 views doesnt mean 1500 viewers....if 1 person viewed this thread 300 times it marks it down as 300 views

 

if berk and stillen puts 8-11 WHP, i am sure this puts out the same, if not more. i have read that the CAI helps with low end torque, which is lost with the not CAI intakes.

that right there sold me. i miss the low end torque...

 

2 questions.

I have an automatic. would it be worth me getting? i want one badly ...

is there anyone in my area (Jackson or Memphis TN ... Florence ,Huntsville, or even Scottsboro AL) that would be willing to help me put that bad boy on?


If I can get those answered, I will be more than happy to buy one, but I can't till the 26th (I know, cuttin' it close)

Car payments and insurance are due this month, so I wont have it till the 26th, well the 24th actually is when I can pay for it (autodeposit will go into my account the 24th)

Thank ya guys

 

I'd drive to you and I'll even pay you. LOL (Duh) I just cant do it myself -- I have no idea what I'm doing.

 

dosent matter if you have a 5spd or auto its gonna benifit you either way by removing the stock intake box, and ading a CAI your going to get power

 

Myself and I35Junkie may have an install day sometime after we recieve them.

 

why don't you try and follow the instructions? it is not that hard. you have to start somewhere!!!

 

Mine will have to be after Christmas due to it being a present. I love buying my own stuff! We are both in the Huntsville, AL area. I am in Madison, just west of hsv.

 

Do I see a mini meet / workshop in Huntsville? Any others in the surrounding area want to join in? We are about 2 hours south of Nashville and an hour north of Birmingham.

 

You will definitely have an increase in HP with a CAI compared to a WAI. It is an often over looked fact, when comparing dyno HP numbers, that the hood is OPEN during the dyno run. So a WAI is getting cold air blown on it from the fan, effectively making it a CAI, but only for the dyno run. Now in real world driving, the hood is CLOSED, so your WAI is now just that, a warm air intake. Power will always be better with cold air. There is a reason why alot of manufacturers are designing their air intake systems to injest cool air outside the engine compartment, it is an effective way to increase power.

 

I ordered mine today ...

Can't wait to get it now... ~~~!!!

Oh by the way, is it hard to install it ?? I'm not too familiar with mechanics...

Also how much would I be looking if installed in a shop....

I live near NYC.

 

i am going to order mine this friday

 

I agree that CAI will make more power than WAI but w/ my Stillen, I have this plastic piece that collects air from the front grill and directs that air to my filter. Intake is worthless if your car is not moving. I don't know if PR CAI is located where air flow is restricted. Isn't the filter placed somewhere around the fender? Wonder if there's any air flow there when the car is moving.....

 

Just wanted to post that we reached 10 confirmed buyers!!!
The CAI's will ship out on Fri 11/12/2004. As long as you get your new orders in by 12 noon on Wed 11/10/2004 the your CAI will be shipped on this. After that we will ship orders received by noon that Wed will be shipped on the Fri after that.

 

u drill the hole bc the cold air goes into ur fender...coming through right beside ur battery...any chance u have to move the battery???im goin to look into gettin one...so ill pm if im in...

 

How can I be sure this will work on my 2001 I30? I really want one, but want to be positive it will work with my car.

 

i see that you have posted that q bfr. why don't you pm NismoMaximaGTR???

 

how are these being shipped? ups, fedex, dhl?

 

Just ordered mine; hoping to install it before the midwest winter sets in.

This setup will only be effective if the plastic piece forms an air tight seal around your air filter, allowing only cold air in. If the plastic piece just sits next to your air filter, then you are still getting a fairly significant amount of warm air into your air filter. The Place Racing CAI would outperform your setup
due to air filter placement outside the engine bay, totally away from any hot engine air. I am also quite sure you already know this, so I'll stop while I'm ahead

 

In addition to the benefit of cold air, the longer tube on the PR CAI pretty much eliminates turbulance in the airflow before it hits the hotwire in the MAF. [Engineering rule-of-thumb is if the length of the tubing is 5x the cross section of the tube (or longer), you'll get something close to laminar air flow.]

Totally separate from the temperature issue, this also has a benefit. When the hotwire is getting buffeted by turbulant air, there is definitely a power loss, we've observed this on the dyno.

Shipping will be via UPS within the continental 48 states, USPS to Canada, HI, AL and PR.

It will work on your car.

You remove the batter and tray during the installation, but they're all replaced in the original positions when you're done.

Brian,

Thanks for giving us this great deal. About how much power does this intake make? I know there're guesstimates of 5-10hp but I figure if anyone knows, it'd be you.

q#1 can i get one in black finish?
q#2 is k&n upgrade more?
thanks
greg

 

ordering mine right now, they are out of silver gonna take a red one then
also waiting for the lady to call me back because she doesnt know anything about k&n filter being available

 

K&N filters are avail for an additional $25.00. You will get both the K&N and the Monsterflow. I still would highly recommend just using the Monsterflow. Thanks.
Greg

 

whats the difference performance wise between the 2?

 

Cattman claims the Monsterflow is as good if not better than any other filter (first page of this thread)

I placed my order today around 11 am PST. I got the silver one. Hopefully, they did not run out by then and I can get it.
Brian, are you getting more of these, or is the gd only on the ones you have in your warehouse?

 

mr cattman says that it will fit on my car, so i will take his word. where do i sign up?

 

when will the Silver ones be in again?

 

i want silver as well. is silver no longer available?

 

Silver intakes are all out?

 

I spoke with Brian Cats at Cattman Performance this afternoon, and he told me that there are only approximately 300 Place Racing CAI's left, and that Place Racing will NO LONGER BE MAKING CAI's for our cars. So, this is it, if you have ever thought about buying one of these, THIS IS YOUR FINAL CHANCE !! They will not be available ever again once sold out!!

 

do you get that nice hissing sound from the PR intakes?

 

actually i called back and they took an order for a silver
