If... (CAI Question)

sinz_4o8 · September 29th, 2006, 08:54 PM

if i installed an CAI, will i notice any difference?....and if i installed hedders how hp will it give me?

itschristorres8 · September 29th, 2006, 09:09 PM

if you noticed a difference....i'd say ur just talkin..u might notice but its not at all a big one. headers..depending on the headers you get.
and what mods. more mods give headers more power...short tubes=shit. go for long tubes..u can see 20hp...that you'll notice

scubasteve041186 · September 29th, 2006, 09:13 PM

meh i just noticed a better sound

scubasteve041186 · September 29th, 2006, 09:13 PM

on my cai and i geuss the headers need a little bit b4 you start noticing stuff i'm not to sure but i think it would give it a different sound as well

itschristorres8 · September 30th, 2006, 01:24 AM

no if you get headers with your exhaust u'll deffinitly notice it. but when you have more mods it'll just be more noticable

short tubes are not shit first of all. If it improves over stock then it is good. Also you have to take in consideration there plan. If they want turbos they surely can't go with LTs. Also you really can't give a definite number. You also don't have LT headers yet. Each car will produce different numbers.

I noticed a small gain after installing my MAC fenderwell CAI, and that was going from the OE intake tube and snorkel with K&N filter, even more so after the SCT tune. As for the LT's you may lose some slight low end torque but will regain the power as topend HP.

AtlanticBlue99 · September 30th, 2006, 11:15 AM

you will not notice power of a cai at all, just maybe a little whirring sound. you will not notice short tube headers power either. long tubes, you will notice top end pull much greater than down low

99mustang232 · September 30th, 2006, 11:28 AM

i disagree about not noticing any gains from a CAI on the v6 mustang, i'm not talking about anything big but small gains can be yeilded.

AtlanticBlue99 · September 30th, 2006, 11:29 AM

i didnt notice anything other than a whirring sound

99mustang232 · September 30th, 2006, 11:36 AM

there are many different kits out there with different designs that also use different filters, and filter locations... look at the JLT kits, jay tucker dyno's his, and i'm pretty sure the one for the 4.0 v6 yeilded about 10hp, nothing crazy and probably wont get that SOTP feel when comparing to something like gears... the no gain from the CAI outlook seems to be common amungst those who bought theirs from ebay, not sure where you got yours from though?

itschristorres8 · September 30th, 2006, 02:31 PM

ok basically its a lil arguable on the feel of the difference of the CAI...
basically if you do notice it this is what it'll be:
a lil whistle sound(mine is now noticable at 2100 rpms if i tap the gas.) also when u switch gears.
if you dont here the sound the first time give it a few times u will.

as far as feeling a difference, if you notice a difference it'll be something like better throttle response and a lil better acceleration.
but dont be alarmed or worried if it doesnt kick your head back....cuz i highly doubt it will, if it does you have a weak neck lol

AtlanticBlue99 · September 30th, 2006, 06:06 PM

you wont really feel a 10hp mod difference unless it is 10 hp across the entire rpm band. 10hp is about 1 tenth in the 1/4, not real noticable except for throttle response and sound

itschristorres8 · September 30th, 2006, 06:27 PM

well i only sed that because others would argue about the difference in feel...
i personally noticed almost nothing

99mustang232 · October 2nd, 2006, 12:02 AM

a 10hp gain is noticeable in a sub-200hp vehicle, now in a higher horsepower application it is much harder to notice.

itschristorres8 · October 2nd, 2006, 12:10 AM

like if you put a CAI in a civic...feels like u just got turbo!

Short do not = shit I have short tubes and when I put my turbo on I will be running short tubes still.

itschristorres8 · October 2nd, 2006, 12:54 AM

i was thinking bout getting long tubes... but now ive changed my mind again and im getting a TT set up instead of a procharger. turbos just own the road. but if i get short tubes i can use those for TT in the far future?

00SoSlow · October 2nd, 2006, 01:25 AM

yes if u get shorties u can invert them for the turbo set ups

itschristorres8 · October 2nd, 2006, 01:27 AM

k but the Long tubes wont work for sure with turbo..
i guess im stuck with shorties now
