thanks for this rob, i enjoyed the sound clips

 

Lost of reading, and I can say that I learned a lot, I just hope I can find somebody In south Miami that can Tune my MAF well, Somebody PM if you know anyone

Damm good Data thanks!

 

I think K&N is just like so many other companies out there today, they built their name long ago b/c other filter companies used the cheapest materials they could. Now K&N is riding the riding the wave they built. Meanwhile other companies out there have caught up if not surpassed K&N in quality filters. Now K&N just has the money to market the hell out of their products. I have a R2C intake (too bad they did not participate), the filter material on my R2C is way better than the K&N drop in that I did have, also the R2C is a simple blow out the filter with no soaps, water, or oils to put back into the filter media. I have always thought that any filter that uses oil in the filter media actually decreases the flow of air. But again this is all just my opinion.

 

I contacted R2C they said they already had people do independent dyno's, when I asked to see the results I was not provided with any.

 

Yeah that sucks. I feel like I gained hp especially in the upper rpm ranges. The R2C does make the G sound a lot better. I wonder why they wouldn't provide you with anything.

 

I feel they knew that their intake would perform on par with the rest that I tested so they would rather have the mystery out there instead of me proving it doesn't gain.

 

THANKS for the great info!

 

Great Info, Great Work, Thank you

On the Stillen Box test, was stock tube used?

 

if a tube wasnt provided with the intake a z-tube was used. the stillen intake I received didnt have the tube so I used the z-tube

 

Wow, I've seen this thread referenced so many times but this was the actual first time I read it and its incredible work. Very detailed and easy to understand. Great Job.

 

great thread and test, props to you for doing this. it verifies what i have been saying for years. unless an engine is significantly modified (aggressive cams, larger valves, etc) the stock intake tubing is adequate for any platform, whether it be on a vq or ls based motor

 

^lol wut?

Just because the VQ reacts this way is basis to assume the same rule applies to motors as vastly different as the LS?

 

the same rule applies, and i can say this because ive owned and modded my fair share of chevys

 

Just read your entire research, awesome write-up. Members like you make this forum so awesome. Sending you a couple of $ for your work. Thanks again.

 

Whatever you say Mikey
