I have a password:jdm power chamber on my car, but it doesnt fit too well and i want to just go back to something stocklike w/o paying too much.

Will putting this filter on w/ stock tube have a great decrease in power compared to my power chamber?

Also, I have heard of some people taking off the resonator(sp?) on their stock intake tube, what is this all about and will it increase power at all?

 

taking off the resonator just gives it a deeper, nicer intake sound.

 

ahh i see

can anyone comments on the power loss i will see by switchin back to stock/apexi filter?

 

out of curiousity, in your signature, you stated boosted LS in the works, if you're going to be boosting, why even worry about the intake? just throw on the stock kit until u get the turbo. trust me, there is other areas to be concerned about with making power other then the intake system.

 

havent updated my sig in a while, i have since picked up a da shell that im building

my main reason is that the password:jdm intake doesnt fit correctly

 

apexi power filter is one of the best filter out there. (lab result)

and it will not fit on stock air box. however, it will fit on comptech icebox.

 

yea i know, i just put it on the end of stock intake tube, which i was told by inlinefour it was designed for

i dont even have the stock box

 

anyone else have an opinion on this?

 

my buddy had the apexi intake on his stock arm for his integra, it was ok but he got a aem CAI and i would say it made a much bigger difference.

 

i had an aem cai, but sold it so i wouldnt have to worry about hydrolockin

 

jus get a k&n, it'll probably be fine w/out the stock box

in this experiment it shows the apexi out-performing the k&n

so i might just go ahead and pick up an apexi one or somethin

 

seen that before, but is it worth the money for the apex. and the kn comes in second.
plus the given fact that these tests were run on a supra.
dunno what your setup is or your plans are, but imo
prolly wouldn't matter so much on a stock block w/ minor bolt ons. but g/l

 

^Agreed

 

yea i suppose your correct! thanks for the help

 

why did u buy the powerchamber anyway. it says on password that u need an itr or skunk2 intake manifold or similar for it to fit. i think thats ur problem.

 

ls IM is the same style as the itr intake manifold, this intake is made to fit ls's as well as itrs and such, but the one i got just doesnt fit good

by saying that you need an itr style manifold, its pretty much tellin you that you cant use the intake on a gsr IM or somethim similar to taht

 

im almost positive the power chamber wouldnt fit on my stock gsr

 

i have an ls

and i know you cant use it on a stock gsr
