Mania CAI and Enlarged Intake

Postby JSE » Tue Apr 04, 2006 11:13 pm

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.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

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.

Cheers guys,

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