Can anyone verify that k&n stock air filters does this?

 

back to back dyno isnt enough for you? Youd trust us keyboard warriors opinions with no proof over a same day dyno??

 

So in the motivate diy video all it shows is that the drop ins can make more power than oem filters. No proof long tube is any less effective than the drop ins. That would be a great comparison to have all in same video same dyno same day and not moving it on and off dyno. Great mod for the money however.

Seen large number videos of people making more with a long tube intake. No keyboard warrior here. Yes k&n cheaper, no it doesn’t make more power.

Long tube > stock with drop ins > short ram

I don’t believe for a second that the factory air boxes with drop ins is best on intake a FBO car or using that setup would make the most power...
So your really saying a long tube intake makes 0 more or actually makes less horsepower than a factory air box?

 

Wish he had used drop ins in the video just to end the discussion lol. No way stock air box would be better than something so simple as to remove flow restrictions and allow for cooler air with long tube intake.

But based on a previous post of another member stating we should all just look at the facts, here you go look at the facts and watch the video! Only debate is that it has the oem filters instead of drop ins for the comparison and obviously the price difference between the two. Still the drop ins are going to come up short on bigger gains than a long tube. Same tune, different filters, different gains.

 

For the Stillen Gen 3 CAI, do we have to remove the fluid reservoir??

Thanks!!

 

I would tend to agree that the long tube likely makes more power overall. I was just curious if anyone actually had the dyno numbers to back up that claim. Seems one person does, so that is something.

I ended up buying the aFe drop ins. Even if I only make a couple more HP, it should still be worth the $85 to have filters I can clean instead of replace each service. Now I am debating the silicon tubes, just cause I think they look pretty cool. Thanks for your feedback.

 

cool bro- what intake are you running boss

 

if you dont mind sharing (no need for exact, just ball park) what was the final price tag; including products, shipping, install?

 

Ok so the theory that the oem intakes are better on a fully tuned car than long tube intakes isn’t debatable anymore. (Well kinda since it didn’t text with k&n drop in filters just the oem cheap ones, sorry didn’t have any)

RESULTS: lost over .5 seconds from 0-60 consistency and even more up top. Only change was the oem intake swapped in to replace the stillen g3. Also a few degrees colder than oem. (Compared by the average temps I noticed my stillen g3 intake temps would be usually 7 degrees warmer than outside. Oem was 10 or so degrees warmer than outside. So not much difference lol I’m not very scientific so don’t roast me I just wanted to compare the way I knew how.

I’ll post the racelogic screenshot later on. Lol I’m glad I did this test, with that being said I’m glad I bought a long tube intake.

 

So I guess the only debate is the money. I can see where it gets expensive but on a full bolt on car those are the facts. I got my results in test over multiple days and temps. Sorry if seems confrontational, so hard to explain over text.

 

For me, the money is always the debate. Well, maybe not the money itself, but value for the dollar. I can afford to purchase a long-tube intake, but how much more am I going to gain for the additional work and cost. I have always been this way with my car part purchases. I end up getting something that is 75% of the best and end up pretty happy.

If my car ends up making 300whp instead of 325whp, so be it.
