Hi,

I have a 2004 Saturn Vue with a Honda J35 engine in it, and I was wondering what the best rout to go for a CAI would be.



That is a picture of the official K&N intake. They claim 12hp gains from it, and it follows the factory intake rout. My question is: would it be worth it to relocate the battery to the left side and run the intake down on the right, to avoid running a 3' tube over the hot engine bay? Would I be talking 0.0001hp gain, or a noticeable difference as the intake gets heat-soaked?

Thanks!

 

I really dig my AEM intake. Cheap and it gets the job done. Hate that short ram ****... unless you live in a wet area.

 

I guess Google aint working for ya?

If it is a tuned length intake, moving the battery and shortening it would be a bad idea.

If it isn't, then the coldest route and air intake would be best.

 

I agree with TunerNoob another good idea to drop intake air temps would be a heat shield type sleeve around the intake piping. If the intake is not a tuned pipe relocate the battery and go strait down.
