New simple intake

[brandonl2000]

What about MPGs? What kind of gain should I see, if any?

 

[Frank217]

Meh...I haven't. But then again I just put my in so idk, but I doubt it...

 

[Bio248]

probably less mpg since youll like hearing the motor noise more and get into the pedal more often.

 

[brandonl2000]

LOL! wow. well, what kind of noise should i be expecting here? im kinda new at the simple modding :th_crazy: hehe

 

[Frank217]

like a louder hissing noise kinda. And yea mpg can be based so much on how you drive your vehicle its crazy.

 

[brandonl2000]

sorta like it supercharged..? and yea. i already have a lead foot as it is. i like to know what im workin with when i leave the red light hehe

 

[nawarkk]

I gained about.... 1-2 mpg more lol.. if I don't get on it that is... and if I'm lucky lol

air makes noise when it moves.

Intake on a GT makes almost no power.

Get headers, you'll go faster then.

Does no one know how a car works or what it does when you mod one? ooooooooooookay kids yaaaaay.

But seriously...I knew nothing either a few years ago...and I just took a few weeks and read till I thought my brain was going to explode...and then read some more. Start with my Safely Modding thread...

the safely modding thread is great, i read it. but is it okay if people still have questions? jeez.. :th_nervous:

 

[blueguy]

Well...ok...just think about it. Shut the door in your room with the stereo or a movie on. You can barely hear the TV/radio. Open it...and its loud and clear. Same idea with a car...stock intake is quiet and restrictive...open it up with metal/PVC pipe and a open cone filter and you've got the sounds of the engine more noticeable

 

[brandonl2000]

lol nice

 

[clevelandfan]

nice. i just dont like spectre much. ill be doin this tomorrow, but usin k and n :th_thumbsup-wink: and i get a discount on everything cuz i work at advance. so i get 20% off, and i get 5% cash back from my band :th_laugh-lol2: not bad huh?

 

[blueguy]

No not really because the Spectre out performs the K&N and its half the price and even less with your discount. K&N sucks.

 

[LowRidinCrew]

This is weird im getting that hissing noise before an intake i wonder how it'll sound with one on it O_O

 

[blueguy]

You probably have a leak somewhere then...most factory intakes aren't supposed to "hiss"

 

[clevelandfan]

hey, how do u get the air box off anyway? im sure thats on here somewhere, but havent seen it yet. and wont the pcm get wet sitting out like that?

 

[blueguy]

Just unbolt it and yank it off the TB...then take the PCM out. No it won't get wet.

 

[clevelandfan]

gotcha. figured it was simple :th_laugh-lol2: but i got the hood scoops and such now, so i think it actually might get wet. :th_shakinghead2: i will have to look into that.

 

[Bio248]

its waterproof anyway.
