just finished putting the stock airbox back in . the car pulls so much harder vs the injen intake , my mods are mrev2+spacer , ur pulley , hks hi power exhaust. i think with all the mods i listed works better with the stock airbox and a k&n drop in filter . if you guys have the similar mod go ahead and swap out your intake and install your stock airbox , youll see the different in between stock and aftermarket intake. stock airbox with k&n filter ftw.

p s excuse my poor english lols

 

+1 ... I did the same thing and saw my 1/4 mi trap speed go up ~3MPH! (I had changed my AEM CAI to a short ram...looks the same as a pop charger)

What is the deal with this?

 

Seriously doubt you would be able to notice a difference without taking it to the track and getting some times/traps.

 

I dont like using oiled air filters with maf sensors...

 

If you over oil your filter I am sure your MAF wouldn't like it either
lol

The stock airbox is a good design to begin with so how is this
a surprise, long tubed intakes such as Injen may not be all
that much better then what Nissan designed. That is just my .2

 

Do you have a before and after dyno?

 

if i did i would have posted it up david . anyways this is my experiment , and i would like to share with you guys here , i did the same test on my 04 . stock air box vs popcharger . but some how the popcharger works better than the 04 airbox . so i guess the 06 airbox is that much better of a design ? anyways this is just my experienced with injen cai and 06 stock airbox .

 

must be that u have more mods because my Injen SRi (form) works/feels much better than my '06 stock airbox

 

that's what i figured when i just have only the intake and it feels better . but now with all these mods the stock intake does feel better . the car moved foward quicker .

 

The difference in gains between the stock filter vs CAI/SRI is so small that it would be just about impossible to feel a difference in acceleration. About the thing you would be able to notice would be the sound.

Unless you have a dyno showing before/after (same day, same dyno) or track times/traps, you cannot correctly say one or the other.

 

I have stock with K&N. Best intake mod I ever did! Much better than spending $100 on popcharger or any other intakes out there for no gain. Costs me only $50 CND!

 

I just got rid of my AEM and did a stock box with K&N, it feels the same either way.

 

but do you have the bolt ons mod i listed ? trust me it works better

 

Y ea I have test pipes, exhaust, spacer, not the mrev though. just tired of the filter getting wet and having to take it apart.

 

don't believe that for a second...

 

better believe it . cause i'm the one that experienced it . anwways i have a intake for sale now if anyone want it let me know 160 shipped with 2 month old injen filter replaced

 

This will be my first mod for my car. I'm going to pick it up after work.

 

Besides the "because I said it's so" answer, anything to actually justify your claim?

 

you don't have to believe me . and i dont have to prove that i'm right , this is just how i felt before and after .ohh by the way what mods do you have ?
