Captain Ficho Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 All in all it cost me $76 about 2 hours. It is a 14" K&N cone filter with a 3" outlet attatched to a 3" PVC pipe with a 90 degree bend attatched to a 3" to 2.5" rubber coupling. Before: After: According to my calculations, it should add about 1400 extra hp. Seriously though, I realize warm air intakes don't make a ton of extra power and I could realistically hope for 2-3hp but I'm happy just knowing that I have the most obscenely excessive air kit known to man. And it sounds absolutely fuckin ridiculous after 3500rpm. And I mean ridiculous. It was such a satisfying sound, in fact, that was doing laps in the parking lot where I work after everyone left. Any comments welcome. Quote
jeremy Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 you probably lost HP and most definitely lost tq....and why such a big ass filter?? Quote

Captain Ficho Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Posted April 25, 2008 you probably lost HP and most definite lost tq....and why such a big ass filter?? To be honest, this isn't a race car, it is my daily driver. I just wanna have a little fun with it... if you wanna look at it critically, omfjesus, I only have 204hp now! I'll lose to all the cars I'd have lost to before anyways! I did it for fun and I had a good time doing it. That is all that really matters... and it still sounds ridiculous when it sucks in air, regardless if I lost power. Quote
Psych0matt Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 less tq and hp ftl, awesome sound and huge-filter bragging rights ftw Quote
