intake???
ORIGINAL: onepoint8tee
I take that back. You might get 1 or 2 extra hpat about 7k rpms. But what you gain in the high end is not worth the amount of low end tq that is lost with an intake on these engines unless youre running a big turbo that has special needs. Im not even going to talk about how much of a proffit carbonio makes on their intakes. I know carbon fiber isnt cheap, and r&d takes time and money, but damn.... $350 for what? A pretty looking air box, a cool sound, and a slight decrease in low end power, where you need it most often. Im all for a K&N pannel filter, its probably the best thing you can do for an already efficient stock air intake system.
I know, I know, supply and demand.
