Rumor has it that the MREV setup doesnt do very well with long-tube cold air intakes. Is that true?

 

ive never heard that

 

regarding our cars, i heard that all cold air intake causes a loss of power...

the stock cold air intake is supposed to be the best, very straight through and no bends to slow down the air flow

 

There was one post i read a couple weeks ago that mentioned that on the dyno, the MREV along with a long tube cold air intake system caused an odd dyno print-out. (shaky) I cant remember who mentioned it though. Hmmm, I wonder what Motordyne would recommend??

 

that is true- they do not do well with long air intakes- something about the resonate frequency- straight from the mrev creators mouth himself (though i paraphrase)

he (mrev creator and god of all mrev things) prefers short ram type air intakes- if one is needed at all (which it really isn't, just drop in a k&n high flow and save the moola)

 

Comments to that effect have been made. At a recent MREV dyno a long ram intake was replace with a Z tube and drop-in filter combo and yielded excellent gains in lieu of the siad. There was a dyno detailing this incident just recently, I believe. Hehehe . . . No names mentioned to protect the innocent.

 

from what i gather plenum mods in general work better with short ram intakes

 

i wonder if the ztube with PC would work just as good with the drop in?

 

How about the stillen cai?

 

Per Tony at MD, Stock, Stillen and JWT work best with his mods.

 

so what kind of plenum works best with a CAI. cause i just recently purchased an injen CAI and was looking for some sort of plenum, now i dont want to lose hp

 

Yea.... sounds like a "shorty" system is the best way to go. thanks for the feedback guys..
