Ive been hearing that its pointless to get a Fujita or Stillen because theyre not truly CAI since it sucks in air from the engine bay. So if thats true would it be a good idea to just replace my OEM filters with some high flow K&N air filters till they come out with a true CAI? will i get any HP or loudness from just air filters?

 

Actually short ram works best with our engine, as long as its insulation/heat shield is good enough to keep most heat off of it. The hear shield plays a bigger role while the car is in low speeds, since that's when its more vulnerable from engine heat soak.

Stillen get the heatshield fujita doesn't. I have a Stillen set for sale. I put them in for couple of days and my wify did not like it(too loud) so I took it off. If anybody interested to make a good deal.

An intake by itself is not a performance mod, it's a "sound" mod.

 

^^ agreed. although in the right application you can pick up some hp. on our cars it is minimal but on my old v8 I picked up nearly 10. the stock one was so restrictive. but to be fair i did have a couple of exhaust mods as well. I am sure they helped one another in the end. so as for intake by itself... minimal gains. much louder, and makes you think it is faster. haha, that was the effect it had on me in my ooooooold 1990 miata

 

can u fabricate the stillen heat shield to the Fujita??

 

You probably can but I am not sure how well it would fitt. Most likely you have cut it a bit.

It is sold sorry everyone who did not get it. The good deals just don't last long.

did you just pull this out of your as$, cold air intakes dont do anything, the short ram actually do make numbers...

 

You have proof of this?

 

here we go again!

 

FYI- you can't shield a filter from hot air with a single plate of metal. You can shield it somewhat from radiant heat, but 140 degrees under the hood is 140 degrees under the hood; therefore, the air going in the filter will be what ever the temp is under the hood. I'm perplexed as to why people think these heat shields actually do something.

 

both short ram and CAI's are just for sound maybe a few gains... short ram is better if it has a good heat shield like Stillen

 

Yeah I have seen proof at dyno days when they have done comparisons between cai and sri...

 

They obviously work in temp tests on the maf. Seems it's lower with the Stillen than the JWT, and especially if you wrap the stillen up with thermowrap to help it.

Maybe if you actually test it yourself one of these days you will see.
