Just wondering what sort of power increase you get out of this combination? Is it fairly noticable when driving, considering I have:
Sparkies, Leads, Cams which are advanced, cat-back exhaust. Combining the Mania CAI and Enlarged Intake with what I have now would I be happy with the power increase? Those who have performed this mod please tell.

Thanks guys

I think you would be happy.

You're trying to increase the ability for air to get into and out of the engine as required.

You've removed some restriction at the exhaust side but there's still the same restriction on the intake.

You should notice more torque and a horsepower. You will also get a louder intake noise; some like it, some don't.

The Mania cowl CAI has been used by a few list members and i'm sure they'll be able to offer more accurate feedback.

yep.....i had jademx5monkey going up a hill right next to me on Putty rd.
we both have the mania intake. but he has the extra enlarged pipe. cant say he left me for daead like a turbo would but you could see he was accelerating at a fair amount quicker pace.
i don't know about his excaust system but mine is the stock standard one.

yep i had a go at mxjademonkey on the cows and coast run a couple of times
he has the cai and the enlarged intake plenum thingy and has extractors but standard cat back

i have dodgy hot air intake cat back exhaust

and yeah he was all over me everytime heaps more torque

Cheers guys,

I figured you would get a bit more top-end power. Thanks for comments
