That's a good thing. Just get some better tires and your good to go

 

I don't understand. By analyzing the dyno graphs for these Injen intakes, it looks like they only gain +/- 10hp up top. How does that affect traction in 1st and 2nd gear?

 

I probably exaggerated, but what I did feel it being a little bit harder than before to grip. But I did notice that after the install with Injen, every time I start in 1st, I'd have to step on the gas pedal VERY gradual, or else the car is going to "stutter" even worse than when I did not have the Injen.

But aside from that, I really did not feel any gains.

 

$500 is STEEP... that is all.

 

when you say "stutter" do you mean the bogging kind of stutter? or the loss of traction kind of stutter?

 

Bogging.

 

vision z: do you happen to have a front shot of the intakes from around the grill area.. exposing the bottom of the filters?

I changed my oil yesterday, 4k miles since I installed the intakes and the intakes are mad dirty on the front! looks like dried mud/dirt, and it hasn't really rained much in the past 2 months..

I'm thinking of adjusting the filters to sit more level behind the crash beam but wanted to know if I initally installed it in the wrong angle.

they should look like this:
