Air intake
 
This has probably been asked somewhere, but i cant find it.


I was wondering how much more power i could expect with a short ram air intake?

particularly that one.

thanks in advance.

it says there that it increases 5 HP / 7 lb ft torque


But i don't know.
def. better flow, and a basic upgrade.

Don't worry about the intake, worry about the filter that you're going to use. and yes, it's been asked about 342904823 times

"ebay" tubing and a k&n filter will do just fine.

get the k&n instead. it costs less and filters almost as well. just don't wash it or oil it. blow it off every now and then but that's it.

true i have seen the K&N for about $40 shipped, I did find the Apexi for $55 plus shipping ($12 to ship to my house in Phoenix, AZ) here is the link

and i race competitively in autox, so if i can get better filtration and 1 more hp than the guy next to me for only $30, then ill take it :thumb:
