I appologize if this kind of questions are not allowed on this forum, but I am dying to know

I installed the K&N Typhoon Intake in my car which is a short ram intake, then I modified it to fit in the stock airbox and installed the DIY icetake to get cold air near the turn signal. It is very much like the Comptech Icebox w/ the short ram intake setup. This is the only engine modification on the car, what do you think my HP at the crank is? and what the HP is at the wheel (keep in mind I have an auto)? Thanks!

 

To be honest.

You probably got 2-3 crank HP.

Intake is not really a mod of itself, but a supporter of alot of major mods, such as higher compression or more lift/duration cams so you don't restrict air flow with stock air box

my point is ->don't expect to tell your buddies "i have 10 horsepower upgrade from my cold air box!"

just being blunt bro

how will the HP number of my car change if I get a type R or apexi world sport cat back exhaust?

 

not by much...you have to COMPLETE the WHOLE exhaust system before you will see much gains...that means intake, header, the often neglected catalytic converter and a properly sized exhaust system.
