Hey guys whats up. i will make this quick there is a lot of cold air intakes on ebay i know that the injen and the wepon R are the best but have any of you got one of ther other ones if so let me know wish one and how it runs/sounds , thanks

 

if you want a cold air intake, go with the place racing, a bit pricy but prob. the best . The weapon r and Injen are not that great, because they are "fake cold air kits." I personally had a stillen popcharger, but changed that to stock. Stock is great IMO.

 

Ebay intakes suck!

 

i got the place racing style inake from ebay before, they don't suck. so abozog needs to cool down on this comment.

they gave me nice torquey gains down low. and at high ends, due to the flow direction, it eliminates the air flow disturbance at the mass air flow sensor junction. so car is running smoother that way.

i had to cut a 3" hole on the inner fender well behind the battery and under the fuse link box. i also went further and filed down the connection joints to smooth out edge protrusions that may cause turbulence in the air passage. turns out very nice for my car. this is a true "cold air inductin" setup for our car. injen style sits your intake right behind the radiator fan which hot air gets vented into the intake. you may have a rammed in air, but that air ain't cold.

there is a good write up about the installation in this website. good luck.

they suck!!!!!!!!! id stay with stock intake if i was u! if u want id trade my cai intake for a stock one!!!!!

 

PRCAI is proven best, but hacked airbox is what my cousin uses, says theres no loss of power and it sounds good

 

You do not get the best of both worlds (low and high end gains) when you start messing with the stock intake. Everytime you replace it with something else, you will loose either one. Just slap in a K&N panel filter and be done with it. Save yourself some money and go straight with a Y-pipe instead.

 

nah, Dr. that pr cai seems to do no gains on the high ends on a dyno, but there is an internal aero-dynamics issue i can address about this. if you place the cut out at the right spot, the place where the filter sits can affect the incoming air route. you want to kind of tilt the filter so that it can receive air when it's moving

i know this is very theoretical and just sounds like my own BS, but this is proven by many tests from Cattman's performance tests. it's not the positive pressure that i'm trying to create, but i know for sure that with the flow dynamics, the air will be passing through the winding pipe in a slightly "pushed" manner. not that it's making "gains" due to a slightly forced air, it's the "ease of flow" and a decreased flow interference at the mass aif flow sensor that brings the reading to a more accurate and undisturbed read out. this fllow type helps clear up the possible flow distrubances and makes the sensor to read at best environment. this is a find from Brian Catts from Cattman's performance. I have to quote him on this. I'm not saying gains will occur with this on the high ends, but when you are driving well over 55mph, your power curve should get smoother and slightly feel better.

I bought this issue up to my internal combustion professor, he couldn't agree more. In fact, we did a little similation experiment about it, and it is legit.

call BS if you want, but I've spoken to Brian Catts about this issue before; if you got further arguments, welcome to talk with Brian Catts.
