on the strip a 3 micron filter over a correctly fit tube going from the tb to where your headlight should be is fine...fwiw

also the bigger tubing isn't helping you...

weird i have d/s and have 0 noise...guess it depends on the hole size and where they cut?

first!

nice job.

1st thing you do is get out the resistor that makes your car think it's always 42 out.
#1 it's a hack
#2 it's useless
#3 even honda owners will laugh at you...

edit: nm i saw you took it out. good job!

My HUD is within 1mph of my GPS over 140. ;)

Yes, aero drag plays a huge factor the faster you go. Weight of the car and hp/tq/gearing mean less and less the faster you go, and it's a logarithmic function.

i thought GPSs were notorious for being off for mph?
i know for a fact you can't used them ...

fwiw:

most 'normal' car's speedos become HIGHLY inaccurate when measuring speeds above 100mph.

your gearing is what limits your top speed #1
+
how well air 'flows around' your car aka your coefficient of drag #2

not HP/TQ for the most part. it's much smaller factor.

nice rides...

HEY! whats up man how ya doing?

yes it is a 3.5...255hp 3.5 v6 with alot of area under the curve ;)

pretty stock just a greddy catback and apexi intake for now...

gonna do the secret sauce intake manifold and phelonic(heatless transfer) intake spacers along with a port on the upper/lower IM in a ...

hot jim.
nice write up.
want to race

"A kindergardner who can draw inside the lines could port an IM" -annon

port matching is more important then porting fwiw least imo from my experience and everything i've read...

any write up you see without that is just inviting more turbulence into your intake manifold then is already there. I ...

nice wright up man!

20hp...probably 10 at most at the peak unless i'm mistaken...then again you changed two variables at once so it's hard to say what did what and to what degree...

"butt dynos are like drunk one night stands. it always seems better then it really is." -annon i forget who i heard ...

that isn't a cai...
it's a wai(warm air intake)...just correcting you before someone else does...not trying to be rude.
though it's close if not equal to being the best bang for your buck in terms of air intakes.

in car enthusiast terms a cai gets air outside of the engine bay aka where you can ...

whoever told you this is either confused or an idiot or both.

i'v heard the same.

anything that improves the induction or removal of air will increase you mpg/hp, aka anything that helps it 'breath' easier. and engine is basically just an air pump in simple terms. however the money and time spent will not be worth the slight increase in mpg/hp imo...

you would be better of ...
