so..ive been wondering..how much perfomance will i lose if i take the top of the intake box off? ty ppl

 

why would you? i guess i mean what are you going to gain by taking it off?

 

well..im just lookin for the sound. dont really have 250 right now to drop on an intake. how much performance would i lose do to heat soak?

 

like 2hp or something, just block of the resonator

 

well... if u're to drive w/ hood off.. you might actually gain power hehehehe...
just keep the cover on.

i doubt there's any gain with the increase of temp. both coolant and air

 

he wasnt saying that....he said he might lose like 2hp,/ if he wantted a louder sound block the resanator....i have a gutted air box with block resonator....when u floor it its not greatly differnt in sound...ur best bet is buying a spoon snorkel or aem or injen. as far as the comptech, it doesnt increase by great ammount of power/sound... thats juz my opinion.... as soon as i get the money to spend im buying the spoon snorkel.....

 

Heat soak will kill you. Just gut it out like a majority of people do.

 

what do you mean gut it out? doesnt look like there is much to gut out in there.

you've obviously never looked inside one before. i'd post pics but I don't really feel like looking. do a search on s2ki.com

 

Everyone talks about gutting the Air box. From looking at the design of the OEM airbox, It seems that gutting it would not be good. The air is funneled directly to the filter....If you gut it it seems the air would lose volocity? Maye I am wrong.

 

trust me..ive looked at it..and like the guy above me said. gutting looks like it would defeat the purpose of its design. i dunno..i could be wrong..but yes. ive looked at it.

you not posting moronic threads would make me feel better.

 

it was a valid question.

 

^^^^ 1. do it if you want more sound, its not that bad for the car as far as hp loss goes. 2. in no way is this thread "moronic" . 3. this is the most opinionated forum on the face of the earth and theres a ton of opinionated jackasses on here . 4. you make the car payment, do what you want. and 5. for any other questions about the car, i highly suggest going to the s2ki forum, not as many children on there. Good luck with the car.

with both increase of temp. in coolant and intake air temp.? how could you not

power by doing so? it will be a slim number but there's a lost hp there for sure, if

you ask me.

sorry but the thing sounds like every other taiwanese intake with the lid off, i am sure the 16years old next door will be happy to meet the F&F neighbor

 

im the F&F neighbor because i enjoy hearing the sound of my intake? hmm. i guess so buddy. but be<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by iam7head &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

im the F&F neighbor because i enjoy hearing the sound of my intake? hmm. i guess so buddy. but besides that. i wanan thank you for the information you provided me with. it helped me make my decision. and i want minimal heat soak. so i sided with keeping it on. ill wait to drop 200 plus on an intake for the sound.

 

ok heres some advice, the heat soak thing is tru, you want a fast easy way to get sound/power ok check it. gut the air box, there is instructions on s2ki and somehwere on these threads just do a search. it doesnt defeat the purpose of the oem air box because companies such as spoon use it. They gut it out, i think this is where the idea originated from. Anyway get the box and buy a spoon snorkel replica off ebay for like 100$ and wait till it comes in the mail. easy install and there is your sound. have a good day and good luck.

 

yep thats what i did, k &n drop in filter and a snorkel off ebay, theres a dude on there that makes molds of the spoon snorkel so its an exact duplicate for $100, comes straight from japan
