^ Actually the R2C dont mess with the AFR enough to cause any loss and actually does offer gains much like Stillen 3G but R2C has a better mid range while 3G has a bit better high range.

 

is it honestly worth the 110..theres noticeable throttle response + and a bit louder???

 

worth is different for every person. for me, yes it is worth the 110. to you, it may not be.

 

thanks Socrates.....just trying to get ur opinion on wether a $110 tube had noticeable effects....but i believe u have answered my question

 

+1

 

So with a proper tune, would u expect the r2c to be "dumb" in the low rpm range still? My k&n and exhaust made my car "retarded" at all rpms. The tune cured all that and more but..... I bet I could get more out of a better Intake setup.

 

of course, tune can cure all these problems!

though, it seems like I don't need tune, as I have rather nice throttle sensitivity and overall performance (i have Borla cat-back, Berk's HFC, HPS tubes).

 

without a tune I bet you are running lean you really don't want detonation if you want the engine to last!
