Hi, I am new to these forums as i just purchased a 05 4dr 6mt w/ prem pack in DG. I have been browsing these forums the last few days and i think i remember reading somewhere that part of what makes the rev-up engine what it is, is the stock intake pipe. I am considering getting either a pop charger from JWT or possibly just droping in a K&N hi-flow filter after reading how minimal the gains are from an intake on the VQ. Any advise, input? Should i take off the stock piping and replace the whole intake with a aftermarket z-tube and short ram? I want to stay away from cold air because of the water risk / power gained is not a very good ratio. Just got some tint put on yesterday and waiting for the adhesive to fully dry before i take some pics of my bone stock G .

previous ride was a 98 mitsu eclipse gs-t (cc headers, hi flow cat/resinator, downpipe, custom 2.5" piping, dual tip DTM style muffler, turboxs bov, injen intake, 17" 5ziggen wheels, turboxs turbo timer, turboxs boost controler, venom cams, few other bolt ons)

 

Stillen CAI w/ Z-Tube all the way... also if you want to get a lilttle more power from the intake you should consider getting an MD plenum spacer..Good luck and Congrats on the G

Actually, I would read around the fourms a bit. I was going to go the CAI but there were a few dyno's that suggest that this can actually hurt HP on the 05and 06. Personally I think your better off with a K&N drop-in and a Z-Tube. If you want real gains, go with the MREV. Again search on this, and draw your own conclusions.

 

i think im going to go with your recomemedation i went to my local kragen and ordered a k&n drop in for under $25. i was reading about the mrev and mrev2 it looks like the mrev comes with a 5/16" spacer at a cheaper price than the mrev2 with no spacer? i am kinda prematurly making this post because i havnt done all that much research yet, but from what ive got so far the mrev might be a better deal than the mrev2 (is it just an older model)?

 

enjoy you'll love the sound of the intake

 

But if you get the MREV, you don't get the full benefit from the MREV without a intake like the Stillen.

 

I can't comment on the MREV + CAI, the only dynos I saw was a stock motor with and without the CAI.
