Brakes Fujita Intakes increase brake performance!

OMG last night I just installed some old fujita intakes and as soon as i took a test drive this morning to see how they felt/sounded, i noticed a nice deeper sound as well as a very significant increase in braking power and smoothness!! i was just wondering if anybody else had this happen, and was wondering how big a difference a dyno would show on my improved braking power??

im thinking that this intake is much better at cooling the brakes than the OEM one?

lol another???

but no i srsly did feel a difference in braking! it may have been because i was wearing different shoes than i usually use to drive the G, but i could have sworn the brakes were different! usually they are jerky and seem to grip harder at certain points on the rotor, but today they felt smooth! and stronger too!

only way to go about this:

Leave the fujita on. Test with various shoe brands. Notate differences in braking power. Switch back to OEM and test again with the same shoes you tested before. Notate differences in braking power.

Second set of tests:

Cut a hole in your car below where you are sitting in the driver's seat so that your feet will be able to clear through easily. Leave the OEM intake on because it's already on there so why change it out twice. Test braking power with various shoe brands tested before. Notate differences.

Switch back to Fujita intake and test braking power again. Might need a new pair of shoes in each brand used at this point. Notate differences.

Post results.

Another set of test to try if you have a willing lab assistant is to also cut out a hole where the passenger sit and have him assist you in braking.

no, dyno meter are prone to inaccurate results. The most accurate and only recommended method for doing this is what I listed above.
