Thank you so much!!! This is the first thing I'm doing after my warranty expires and I've been wondering how to figure out which to go with. Thank you!

I wouldn't worry much about a cold air induction system and your warranty. I've had my car in a few times for powertrain warranty work. I had headers, aftermarket air intake, catch can, and a couple of other things. Each time warranty worked was performed without question. Reason? Nothing added could reasonably been attributed to my mods. As far as which to choose, good luck. The tests showed numbers that would be useful if you were driving your car...on a DYNO. After trying the top two in that testing, and not being satisified, I took desirable parts from three manufacturers and did this. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpo...7&postcount=17 Not every intake is going to fit everyones needs. My car is a high mileage daily driver and during the summer it gets pretty hot here. You can imagine what underhood temps, while driving in town, are like. The intake, so far, that I like the most for my needs wasn't even tested. Just to note it wasn't the fault of the tester that it isn't shown on the spreadsheet. For most people, if you buy an intake you'll probably be perfectly happy with it, no matter the brand.

I have a feeling we may have been duped into another Docu-mmercial thread j/k.
Chase - I know you are trying to keep it strictly informative. Watch for the product placement cameos.

We have several vendors that can sell you a OEM MAF that's doesn't have the "weak" number. Unless i'm mistaken, they are pretty much the same price as what the dealer charges.

Hey Chase, nice write up! I have to say that not all cai's are equal (or engines). It took me 4 tries before I found one that I was happy with, and it was (like Indeedss1) not one of the ones that was tested by Ted! Many ppl are happy with brand x or brand y and some not. I think it all depends on the set-up you have, minor characteristics of you engine, and personnal preference. Some like an engine with top end power, others like low end torque. Some like a cai that will deliver driveability over top end and others just the opposite! So, you roll the dice and try what you think best fits your set-up and hope it performs, if not try another!
Chase, you did a great job here explaining the different types of intakes and their respective pros and cons! It will defenatly help anyone who is struggling with deciding which way to go! Good job! |
