Check out the article HERE for more information on this subject.
The factory intake system on most cars are so well designed at this point, it isn't rocket science why aftermarket intakes don't work. Look at most intake systems for this car, they "improve" power slightly on a dyno but in the real world transient throttle response turns to garbage. Hard for a straight piece of pipe to emulate a computer designed and engineered system of resonance chambers to ensure smooth airflow across the MAF. |
Didn't dyno.
Generally when I do something I see how my 0 - 100 goes.
Both the dyno and the 0-100 have inherent flaws though.
As for the resonator on the intake tube, opinions and results vary, you say it looses power others say it doesn't, why wouldn't the TRD airbox have one?
I'm not buying it, especially when dyno results are brought up, I've seen so much variation over the years, trying to pick one or 2 horsepower isn't going to be repeatable, you can fudge the graph quite easily though to give you any result you want.
IMO dynos are for tuning and circlejerks, 0-100 and the 1/4 mile will tell the truth.
I'm just posting my findings.
