Thanks man! Thats good info.

what adds more HP and torque cat back or installing a cold air intake, instead?

thanks

Anyone able to weigh in on above post? Thanks!

Depends on who you talk too... the exhaust companies will say they do... the CAI companies will say they do...

I don't think anyone here has really done an independent dyno of a CAI kit... at least not that I'm aware of...

Screamin, what is your opinion on x pipe vs h pipe?

Is it worth adding the x-pipe to the MRT axle back system?

CAI hands down. Far less expensive too! I sell and install both.

Good question. I am curious too. The thought of making my version 1.0 MRT "more aggressive" is a little scary lolol. It already strikes fear into the hearts of higher HP cars running stock exhaust.

Do you have proof that you get more HP/Torque from a CAI than you do a cat-back exhaust? I mean some kind of independent testing, not just manufacturers claims?

I haven't thought about it much... Maybe something to look at.... I know in the V8 world most guys go with and prefer an H-pipe....

In case you missed it...I sell AND INSTALL BOTH! I don't go off manufacturer claims. I buy it, try it, and send back the junk. Just because I CARRY the manufacturer (literally 100's!) doesn't mean you will see me supporting them openly. I've driven and tuned multiple cars. I use my A$$ dynometer and customer satisfaction to determine the results. No dyno queens here to help sway the results. CAI should be your first mod, period!

CAI purchase: Buy Roto-Fab or ADM Performance, you won't be disappionted!

It all depends on the Axle-back & the Air Intake!........

I have the MRT Exhaust & the Airaid Intake. What I found after over 3 dozen 0-60mph tests, it is VERY close.... If I had to choose I would say the MRT gave me faster times.
The reason I can't say 100% is it is very hard to get the temp.,humidity & the Bar. Pres. all 100% the same.. ( so the DA is not 100% the same)

As far as calling the intake a COLD air intake, Most are NOT!..You First need a 100% sealed box to start with.
The stock intake is MORE of a COLD air intake then most of the others!!

What the Intakes are is #1...Less Restrictive (filter)... #2... Better flowing (larger Dia. tube, no resonator & maybe better bends)

Who said anything about dyno queens? Dynos are great tools and are much more accurate than your A$$, no matter how carefully your A$$ is calibrated!

If you are so against dynos for showing gains, then where are your time slips? Have you driven an V6 Camaro at the track yet?

As far as i know Roto-Fab or ADM aren't available for the V6 yet.. but I haven't checked lately...

And actually the FIRST MOD for this car should be a tune/tuner... It's a mod that you can then build all your other mods on... Best bet is to do exhaust now and then wait for a CAI/Tuner combo...

How do you do a tuner and where can you get a tune done right?

I have to say, one aids the other. When I added my SOLO PERFORMANCE system on my LS3 I can actually feel the amazing difference in the flow. Now that it is flowing so well out the back with the X pipe, I feel the need for more air up front. I am looking at a CAI now, haven't decided yet.
