Intake Shootout! Injen vs AFE vs AVO vs AiRaid vs STOCK!

[djdnz]

Finally, thank you @dwx

Intakes are a waste of money! There I said it.

Anyone want to lend me an Injen intake so I can dyno it properly, with a closed hood?

[OmarGC]

Not sure if it's been posted... but what are MAF housing diameters of each intake?

[Vicious LED]

I guess I was quite the dummy to order the Airaid, on the word that it was a 5-6HP/3-4TQ gain :[ Guess I'll be pawning it off and picking up an Injen for myself.

Regardless of what intake you bought, just spend the money on a tune.

If you don't plan on any tuning and just want to stick with bolt-ons. Pick the intake that makes the most power w/o tuning.

I am really interested in the Injen/AFE intake with such great gains now. Compared to buying a Syms intake that cost 1300 with unproven results but it looks so nice and looks like it is a good design. Then throw on a AVO or Zeta SIlicone tube / Drop in Air filter. Is their any chance we can see the results of the Syms Racing Intake made by this Japanese company? It was release last Friday I believe. The design is REALLY intriguing/nice.


And now about the results..

You guys really think they didnt try it again? That is a reason why they had a 2nd car for all the tests.

They are a professional shop. Instead of posters claiming they didnt dyno right which is probably very slim. You people are being really idiotic to think they would mess up doing a dyno. They even had a 2nd car to make sure that they were getting correct results.

They are giving us Data on intakes that is very useful information. Without their contributions to this community then this problem would of never of been seen by the BRZ/FRS community.

People who are saying otherwise are probably owners who dont want to believe the data provided. If you dont think its correct then do your own Dyno and find out your self to see if what they provided was false. Then post it to show us.

Airaid probably already did a dyno to double check their claims and if it was showing any gains I am sure they would of posted the results. Instead they have done nothing except claim that people in their thread are saying positive things but with no factual evidence to back it up.

So thank you for doing these tests. Unlike some posters who arent grateful for free data/information. They are testing/comparing intakes for the benefit of our community. Their is no reason why they would try and show false information when it can be so easily disproved by anyone else or shop. Especially the company it self, Airaid.

I cant really say I can feel a difference with my Injen intake w/o snorkel, I took my car to the track (1/4 mile) was doing 15.0 with 2.4 60 foots at 94mph. I think maaybe it did but I stay on the line

Removing the snorkel only yields 1-3 HP on a CAI. Since the Injen isn't a CAI, I can't imagine removing the snorkel would do much of anything for it.

I have a injen intake and I removed the snorkel on mine a few days ago after running with it on for about a month and didn't notice any difference at all.

I am about to do a 3rd test on the INJEN intake, this time with fellow community member's @BuBlake old intake - one that was getting him CELs to see if there's any issue with his intake as well as to see if I get repeatable performance.

Problem is, with us putting together a turbo FRS for SEMA, I don't have that much time but I'm still on it though. Stay tuned for results on that INJEN intake in a separate thread in mid Nov!

I'll shed some light to that in the coming days as well.


Stay Tuned...

The mouth of the Injen probably doesn't even touch the mouth of the snorkel.

Injen doesn't make it's power from cold air; it makes it's power from leaning out the stock tune. Tuned it will make just as much power as any other non CAI.

I wish you were close by so I could grab temp readings off your car.

Can anyone with an Injen intake and an ECUTek cable take a couple logs for comparison purposes. I'm almost certain it would be warmer than AIRAID (which is warmer than AFE). It would nice to have figures to back up the theories, though. PM me if you can do this

Dude, Dont get me wrong here, I am thankful for the data that has been provided here on the forums. I just think that it's weird that an Intake company would make an intake that has less results than the stock system and sell it. That's all. I'm not saying that Drift Office is just some people on the forums that post. I know they have an office/shop and all the equipment, but its just mind boggling that Airaid would do something like this, make a product that doesn't work for what it is supposed to do, give gains and would still sell it. That's it, and to let you know, this thread actually steered me away from Airaid and start thinking of going with Injen.

Are there any negative effects that come along with the engine running leaner over time?
The injen intake and an exhaust are all I really have planned for the short term, unless this intake causes long term issues.
