How does this.. http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c...1897_167086026 .. equal +2 or -2 hp that people are claiming you get from the intake? is that a bad/biased dyno.. cuz i see about 12hp on there

 

yea its clearly not 12hp.........intakes on our cars dont do much except for look nice and sound good

 

^^^ SO my question is why do people KEEP PAYING $200+ FOR THEM THEN... I never could understand that abt people on this board. Seems like alot of money just for a deeper sound.

 

Marketing hype + gullible suckers = SALES

 

Just do a Z-Tube/Popcharger/Stillen box or K&N panel filter and you should be good. I had Injen CAI on my old sedan and it did not do too much for low end power, but it sure did sound nice. I now have Z-Tube/Popcharger combo and did not notice any loss of low end and it has a nice growling whistle to it.

 

They also help pretty up the engine bay... ***engine bling***

 

Sorry but youre wrong about CAI. You dont only gain 2hp and its not for noise and looks. Shows how much you know about cars. Not trying to start a flame war but to be honest those grounding wire kits that you guys pend $80-150 is the biggest waste. No wire is going to give you even 1/2hp NOW THAT IS ENGINE BLING

 

i lost power with my injen cold air over my KnN stock air box setup.... and yes i KNOW about cars.

 

Where did you lose power? Bottom end and peak? Did you compare the graphs I know for a fact if you go across the board you gain.
