Ok I just finished my first full tank of gas off in ole blackie since the CAI install. I didn't notice any extra throttle response or power. I did notice the noise from the CAI....though I've learned to deal with it now.

But the one positive I did notice was I gained a solid mpg. Now I can't really say that for a fact since I have only ran one tank through it since the install, but I did drive it a bit harder than normal just to prove I wasn't trying to milk it. The computer said I was getting 15.6 mpg and thats what I came up with off the odometer too.

I did run a fuel system cleaner through this tank too so that may have contributed as well. Dissappointed in the HP claims though....I can't tell a thing.

 

There is NO WAY anybody is going to be able to "tell" the HP or TQ gains from simply installing a CAI. Despite claims, even the best CAI's yield about five to eight RWHP and ain't NO butt dyno that well calibrated!

The 1 MPG is plausable, but the real advantages of a CAI is that it allows other mods to perform better...

 

What CAI did you install?

 

Noisy *** Chrome Intakes from Ebay. I recommend getting a plastic one. Mine is annoying with all the noise.

 

K&N drop-in filter with an Airaid MIT pipe has the same gains without the noise.

 

Bet it cost alot more too. It's getting more quiet or I'm getting used to it lol.

 

well i know for a fact switching from my stock airbox with a k and n and new intermit tube to a full 4" pipe with 4" cone filter mounted behind headlight that it does pull harder and longer up top and i got half the noise i did with the box....
