So.. my injen intake came in today..

Install? or dont install? I just heard more cons than pros

Opinions on each? please?

 

I personally don't like this intake IMO... I seen the write up that MaxtotheG37 posted up and was definititely not impressed. For the hype that this intake created about no other system making power and this one making all the power out of every intake system out there. You had to modify some stuff and the installation wasn't very straight forward, unlike every other intake system out there. So bottom line is in my opinon that the hype that was created around this intake system I think it's a joke.. I mean after all it's just a intake system. Like I have said before how much power do you really expect to get by changing out a couple pieces of aluminum piping and two filters???

 

I want to say i'm more into the noise than the hp gain.. but at the same time i dont like modifying things that much. The horn relocation and the wiper thing is gettin to me.. which is the reason why i'm thinking of letting this thing go..

 

the sound is sexy as hell, i don't mind that the gains aren't as high as they claimed to be

 

Yea... I agree... If you dont care about the gains... and want a pretty engine bay and a hellish growl... Install it...

 

 

black, where is the picture?

i would just install it. mind as well, if you sell it right now, you would lose some money.

 

No way!! Put it in a box and ship it to me and I will dispose of it for you.

 

Hey you bought it so I would intall it especially if you are stock and plan to stay stock besides the intake. If you are stock and then try to do a before/after dyno if you install it and post the results.

 

instAll it. Ftw

 

I say install them. Look at it this way for for the gains, atleast there have been no stories about them losing power.

 

^

Yet.... we still need someone to post something other than butt dynos

 

i have made the decision to install mine...

it looks nice, sounds nice, and anything better then stock whp, is an improvement. Its gonna be too much of a pain in the *** to return it of try to sell it
