• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Just spent 1700 dollars!

Just bought.....

K&n cai
Aasc headers
Overkill pcm
Aeroforce scan gauge
Two new tires
100sq' fatmat

I do good?
 


The intake, no.. you straight up wasted your money... return it if you can and make one for 50 bucks or less, the fatmat, if you have subs or whatever... cool... the rest of it sounds good

Return the K&N CAI and buy a Spectre filter for $20 :)

Get a dryflow filter off Ebay instead... AEM or Amsoil brand, it's a little more soemtimes but it flows better and filters better... and it's a lot easier to clean.

Also it doesnt have the oil that can mess with your MAF
 
buy the AEM dryflow on ebay. 4x9 conical, only like $18
then $15 in parts from Homedepot, done and done.

What Monkey needs to do is ditch the engine cover and paint his UIM that color too.

Aren't the Spectre filters dryflow also? I have a 9" cone on my GTP purchased from AutoZone.

Spectre are oiled like K&N, if you look on the plastic it came in, it says "Pre-Oiled and Ready for Use"... maybe Spectre makes a dryflow line, but I know the ones that are on the shelf in Autozone and Advance are oiled.

Those filters use oil because their filtration media is too loose and widely spaced to filter anything, the spaces between the fibers are relatively huge... they need the oil to trap the dust and dirt and whatnot. The oil holds onto it until you wash it and recharge it with clean oil.

Dryflow filters are made of a synthetic media that have very very small spaces between the fibers so they can trap microscopic dust and dirt without the need for oil. Just swish em around in soapy water for a few minutes, rinse it and let it out to dry.

Thanks for the info all this time I thought my air filter was a dryflow. Didnt realize the Spectre was preoiled.
 
Yeah...they are oiled...

Good part about them...I live in Kansas City...dove year round with em...had them since they came out...what...like, 4 or 5 years ago...The filter that was on the blue car I had since day one...had about 60~+ K on it...still flowed great...I just went out and bought a new one when time came...they are cheap enough IMO.

Spent around $60 for my set-up, polished elbow and rubber coupler included. I like the finished look :)
 
ehhhh.... those might be high flow intake systems, but they are not CAI. CAI=Cold Air Intake. See what ya'all is doin, is pullin warm air from inside your engin bay(right next to your hot-as-heck cross over pipe) and callin it a CAI. Less you got some kinda insulation round it, or your filter stickin all the way in your fender well, you gots a high flow hot air intake.

I really hope this is a troll post.

Because...cold air, isn't gonna happen...even in the fender. Hell, anything in the engine bay is going to get hot, even one of the awesome super cooled sealed boxes.

Proven, it's all about flow. Flow > Ambient Air Temps...and even if you do happen to gain a horsepower or two from a super awesome sealed cold air box or a fenderwell intake...look at the cost difference...I just buy a coupler and an adapter...and bam, $40...if that. With the $260 saved over a $300 K&N...I can buy headers...and probably new plugs/wires as well.

So, that setup > your awesome cold air setup.
