Intakes?
I'm starting to disbelieve all of the hype over the stock 06 box. I've seen cars on the dyno making great #s with CAIs. I was outpowered recently by a car with less mods. Guy put down 15 more HP and had a CAI. But the shop didn't have a fan in front of our cars either. So I dunno. Seems like a lot of the guys making 280-ish+ are using CAIs.
Do a dyno shootout on your own car if you don't believe it. OEM airbox with K&N vs. any aftermarket intake.
Just because a car with "other mods" also has an intake, that does not mean that the intake was part, or any, of that gain.
hmmm..... CAI....metal piping....heat soak..longer piping....more heat soak....less air velocity.......vs. OEM plastic, less heat soak....... do the math son

I'm considering it after seeing some of the proof that some people are posting. I mean I had a pop charger and then read about the 06 airbox. So I sold the pop charger to get a blitz drop in. There is no real difference but with long term driving or stop and go, the stock box feels more consistent. The pop charger would get hot and the car would feel sluggish.
What if you had a CAI and wrapped the pipe with heat shielding materials? I understand the pressure drop from a longer pipe as well but Injen advertises that step-down piping. I'm no engineer and I'd like to see a GOOD, INFORMATIVE post about intakes. We need a CAI dyno shootout!

I won't give hints, I'll be straight up. I ask for some proof and all you can do is make douche bag comments. Why don't you post something useful and relative to a question instead of being a dick every time you post?
