Is buying a intake really worth it? Is it worth the risk of having water in your engine? (i lvie in florida) Does it really help?

 

It only helps the sound of your car.

 

yea i got a 06 mt, and also does any1 have a install guide for the z tube and popcharger

 

search it, i think there is a DIY out there

also, its very self explanatory when you look at it

 

None of them really add much hp if any.. I have an injen long tube Intake which is the loudest intake made for our cars. Injen long tube intakes are also the most dangerous to have for hydro locking. I live in Miami,FL where it rains almost every single day.. Just don't drive through puddles plain and simple. The long tube intake sounds amazing..

 

yea i live in miami, fl also, and i was looking for a short ram since ive heard they have less of a chance for hydro locking, but i heard the z tube has the lesss chance, but does the z tube make any noise? z tube with popcharger.

 

Never will do... Imo

 

ztube and pop charger is a very good combo and one of the loudest/cheapest intake mods

i opted for the even cheaper intake mod with just a ztube, k&n drop in, power duct delete

power duct delete made a huge differece and it was free

 

pics? where is the power duct and how do i remove it?

 

theres two tabs..use a flat head screw driver and pop them off..

open your hood and look at your intake box. it says power duct

(actually, i asked the same stupid question lol so i cant be an @$$ about this LOL)

note that there is some debate about whether this is good or not...

people say you will lose some power but i have it off and dont feel a thing. and since i dont track my car its not like im going to notice one or two poines

 

I hate people who are scared of hydro locking. IMO, if someone is smart enough to know what hydro locking is, then they should know what a bypass valve is. Research, research, research.

 

Get the Stillen/Z-Tube since your worried...it's a great combo...but the injen is also nice

 

I think all intakes have been tested, and the Stillen was the best overall.

 

i have the injen long tube and no bypass.. i live in south FL.. it rains alot.. but just dont go thru puddles.. i have no problem.. u just have to be cautious.. thats it.. and if u want u can get a bypass valve and ul be fine... but i love mine..

 

I just replaced the Z-tube/ K&N drop in with Z-tube/Stillen...It seems that I have a little better throttle response and a little better performance...I hava a few other mods(Crawford Plenum,Mrev)...All in all I like it better than the Z-tube/ K&N drop in.
