well, yeah, that pipe too probably plays a role, but I meant that stupid little thing that takes up all that space and pins on with the two plastic pins that sticks towards the front of the car to suck the air in to the airbox.

 

bahahaha ohhh the air redirector... Yah that thing rocks. The Typhoon still utilized it- even though it looked wierd. But the Perrin didn't.

It gathers cold air and forces it in the engine bay. Never a bad idea. hehe

 

air redirector... that's the awesomest new name for it... someone needs to do a test of aftermarket intakes with it and with out it...

 

The HKS RS was shown to make 11 more hp over the stock with K&N drop-in. (when tuned)

 

yes- the hks rs has shown to be the biggest power adding intake- tuned.

Though, I'd like to see a dynochart of two cars with the same mods AND both tuned accordingly. I'm not sure how you'd do a test with both on the same car unless you had a lot of time/dyno time and a full ems to tune each.

 

hmm... see... maybe it's just me, but switching from the stocker, to stocker w/hi-flow filter, to injen set up, i still believe the injen makes a noticeable diff... and in a good way... throttle response, slight-slight spool up decrease, and pull in the mid-to-high revs... that's not tuned even...

no awd dyno's around here... but, for fun i should throw the other set ups on again and measure the Kar Hz readings for each... but, man, that ic piping is a pain...... but i do get bored sometimes... especially when my a.d.d kicks in full...

 

hehe well of course dude, the injen comes with the upper IC pipe. The upper IC pipe is going to make throttle AND spool feel faster!
