I like the AFE Intake a lot.

100% needs a tune - and i just happen to have one for it

It's good to see at least one aftermarket intake shows promise, is it worth buying an afe intake?

Didn't really see any power gains worth bragging about.

But I do like the fitment and easy install.

Personally not worth the money to get any intake right now

John,

Is it safe to assume the stock intake flows well? Or is there a bottle neck in the stock manifold and intake ports on the engine that won't flow any better with an aftermarket intake ?

tonystewart · 09-28-2012, 07:23 AM

Thanks John

So is it correct to say that without a tune, an aftermarket intake can give you some gains, but with a tune, the gains are negligible?

In any event, I do enjoy the sound that I get with an aftermarket, and since I wanted a washable reusable filter anyway, I at least get that benefit.

What about catback systems? Seeing any need to have to tune for those individually? I hope to have my Evo3 catback installed pretty soon so if that's going to require additional tuning, please let me know.

If there are any power gains from a intake its from the fuel mixture leaning out.

Intakes are NOT your best bang for your buck.

A exhaust is money well spent if your after a better sound and a nice exhaust tip.

Best gains are with a flash - mid range and a list of cool features.

Can't wait to test headers... Yhe right Header might be the ticket to hitting 200whp

Did I miss where the results are posted??? What are we waiting for?

Visconti · 09-28-2012, 09:08 AM

These two statements seem to contradict each other.

Yeah typo , one of my GTR customers had me distracted this morning

For the record, my parts are as follows:

Perrin Pulley
SRT header back exhaust (sounds super nasty on the dyno)
aFe intake

I could post the results myself, but I'll let John handle it. We did 60 runs yesterday! I'm playing with the dyno files as we speak.
