removing air silencer?

tigerfan2771 · May 2nd, 2008, 11:29 PM

ok so ive read some posts about this already, but just needed to ask anyway. im planning on doing a full h/c/i swap. im also gona have a 65mm halfshafted throttle body. i have a k&n high flow filter. i read in the newest mmff mag that removing the air silencer on a 5.0 gained almost 100 cfm. would it benefit me at this point to remove the silencer? it couldnt hurt since im getting more air into the intake right?

no, you won't see anything... and i seriously doubt that they say 100 CFM on a stock 5.0

no they said it increased cfm by 100. its in the magazine. take a look.

Increasing the ability to flow more total CFM will only help to achieve higher RPMs.

is kind of like my friend..and his pooter scooter neon...everything positive he reads he blows it out of proportion and the bad he reads...he ignores it...if any..

he bought a CIA off of ebay hasnt got it yet..but he s like yea i def got your mustang now i mean it adds eight horse power.

oo dont forget his exhaust..glassback...guy told him it was <i>more</i> back preassure so it d give him another 10 hp...

you can always believe what you read man..
people will tell you anything to get you to buy their product.
they dont think people actually get around to dynos so their i no way to acutally tell that their is no difference

chromestang01 · May 3rd, 2008, 11:58 AM

yea everybodys right it wouldnt hurt removing it but i promise you wont notice ANY performance diff..

tigerfan2771 · May 3rd, 2008, 12:24 PM

guys i didnt say anything about gaining 10hp from it. im not expecting to notice any difference at all. but the silencer does restrict our cars somewhat and removing it should allow a little more air to flow in it. im not reading exaggerated hp claims, it was just one of the feature articles where it was actually tested on a 5.0. im just wondering how much itll help with my car.

You really think its restricting the air on your probably almost stock v6?

DeMello · May 3rd, 2008, 12:41 PM

no clue how much its gonna help but you know it wont hurt just just pop your hood, pull the danm thing out and throw it away

its pretty useless anyways

i was told its bad to remove it because its there to break up the density of the air so your MAF can get a more accurate reading of the actually air intake...if this is true...idk...i took mine off cause it came off so i left it off so idk ha

wadepetersen · May 3rd, 2008, 05:39 PM
