Cold air induction

Lol.

 

There have been many dyno runs posted that show no gain. One guy did three runs with stock, K&N and no filter installed. Worst? No filter!

 

My point exactly. You put enough stress on any filter and you'll see issues.

 

So your current setup is stock everything except front ram intake instead of fender wall? Oh and can you post pics?

 

Interesting. Makes me wonder about the other brands.

 

Let me rephrase: You will get zero performance gains with one exception... Wide Open Throttle. If you floor it, it changes the tables and allows as much air as possible, letting some of those freer flowing filters let more air in, resulting in around 5hp gain. As soon as you let off any, the ECU then retakes control and, no matter how much air your intake let's in, the engine controls the mix and reduces the air in the mix.

So a tiny gain at WOT. That is all. And noise.

 

No issues with K&N cAI on my 1rst gen DC Pre Runner with blown 4cyl !!!

I change my filter every year with my spare clean/oiled filter . I also run a K&N filter sock over the filter and clean the filter sock every 3 months

Never had any dust / dirt in the intake tube , throttle body or inside the filter







Notice no dirt inside the filter after being on the truck for a year

 

Funny how they do their own research and not by a 3rd party. K&N is overhyped overpriced bullshit.

 

Look at the times. It took 2 hours for them to swap the intake...? Somethings afoot

 

Burnt MAF sensor on my 1st Gen due to oil on it, Oil air filters are terrible.

 

Possibly to see if the DA and Relative Density would change hp and tq #'s


Both DA and Relative Density play a part in making hp .when I'm drag racing I pay close attention to these in order to go rounds

Give you an idea the elevation were I live is 3222 ft with #'s plugged in to my weather station right now the corrected elevation right now is 4896 ft or 1492ft higher so the air good for making hp


During the hot summer months of July thru August here I've seen corrected elevation as high as 7800ft corrected

 

Get one of these instead of a CAI. It's cheaper, and works just as well.

 

BAHAHAHA!

I need one of those.

OP, if you want power gains (backed by actual independent dyno results) - get OVtune.

If you want a "cool looking" intake that makes more noise - well get a CAI.

The OVtune guys ran their truck on the dyno with NO filter to see if it made a difference - it didn't.

Your money of course.

 

Looks awesome!

 

There is not much point in increasing air intake without also adding a free flowing exhaust, is there?

 

One, turbocharged.. that we reasonable evidence of anyway (also OVtune). It's not done yet though AFAIK.
